(no subject)
only a week since school ended, and already my body has made the transition to a non-school schedule. nearly midnight, but according to my body, not quite time for bed. i've known the modest joys of not using an alarm to wake up, and not even being aware, much of the time, what day it is.
a routine has found its way to my days: i wake up mid-morning, gradually. after breakfast and some general puttering about, i work my way through two or three article abstracts (or now that i've finished my current batch, with Sudbury-related work). mid-day, i walk two buildings over to the little workout room and put in my time doing ab crunches and running 5K on the elliptical. shower, lunch, and more abstracts, interspersed with piano, chess, and reading. i might walk the two or three blocks to the nice large library for part of this, or bike to a coffee shop. evenings vary slightly, if KP has invited me to trivia, or i have writing group. i try to meditate sometime between 9:30 and 11pm.
it's nice to be able to sleep, and i do like the flexible scheduling of the abstracting work, which allows me to play piano or a game of chess whenever i want to take a break. but there's so little money in living sanely, it seems. and i still lack a consistent source of deep conversation and connection.
