Is 8:30 Too Early for My Bedtime?

No, to answer my own question, I don't think it is. Not on a day where kindergartner went off on school bus and school nurse called me 30 minutes into school day to come pick her up because her ear hurt...and the drive to school is 15 minutes each way...and yet, in between making pancakes and watching Pippi Longstocking video, I finally broke through my writer's block on Anthony's [monk-turned-businessman] life story....and Punch went to the doctor with H., who gave her the pink antibiotics...and we rushed to the polls to vote for governor....and I was supposed to go to evening yoga class, first at 6:15 and then at 7:30, really wanted to go, but he had to do phone interview....and then Punch threw everything up on the wood living room floor within an hour...and Sug had peed on the dining room floor...and I was dragging the Lysol spray and paper towels from room to room...and I feel tired, just want to curl up with Allure and InStyle. I'm going to set my alarm for an early hour so I can get back to this writing desk in the morning, recharged.

Good night.

TCOY

1. Good tooth care.
2. Scheduled overdue doctor's appt.
3. Short nap on couch with Sug. One of those early wintry afternoon naps.....when it's cold outside and you're snuggled under a blanket.
4. Private Benjamin. Part tough, a lot helpful.
