early morning
DC and I went to bed at about 10:30 last night (par for the course for me, very early for him tho) and I couldn't sleep through the night, so I'm awake at 4 am now. I don't mind too much--I polished off some leftovers in the fridge and now I'm just chilling on my ipod :^) sometimes it's really nice to be up at this time, especially when the windows are up and I can hear the bugs outside. The cicadas are either gone or sleeping, so right now it's mostly grasshoppers and what sounds like frogs.
Being able to hear outside creatures is pretty important to me...it helps me feel connected to the world, and more hopeful.
