12 Hours in Sacramento
Saturday, 29 July 2017. 10am.
Last night we drove out to Sacramento. Yes, another Friday Night Halfway thing. Much like a week ago, in fact. Though this time we're staying in Sacramento, not Rancho Cordova. For people reading this from thousands of miles away there's not a tremendous difference between the two. They're only a few miles apart. And though one is a much bigger city than the other, and in fact the state capital of California, neither of those factored into our decision. We're just here for "8 hours and a shower".
...Except that 8 hours turned into something closer to 12. I overslept a bit this morning when my alarm didn't ring because my phone's battery surprisingly ran down to nil overnight. Now, I didn't sleep 12 hours, only about 9. And I don't begrudge myself the rest. I've woken up 1-2 hours short on sleep every morning this week. It felt good to break that pattern. Though I do have places to go and I want to get going!
