punishment

i went to bed last night at 8.30, that in itself was a victory, the odd thing about laying in bed to fall asleep when it's still daylight outside felt like a summer evening i got in trouble and was sent to bed early. even as an early rising kid 445 was early for me to get up. i don't think i really fell asleep until after 9 but the wake up wasn't any easier. the best part was the light rain i got to ride through on my extended commute. a quick stop at the post office (i rode the hallways again, such a fun deal to roll through the p.o. before anyone arrives.) i'm still looking forward to the days getting shorter, at least in the morning so i can see the octopus' work. right now i would have to be on the bike at 4 to see the indigo sky and the stars fighting to poke through.
