Come on, yearn for me

I am trending a sleep pattern when I work the 11-9 a.m. shift, which thankfully won't be my regular shift, even though down the road there will be times I have to do it again. Anyway, when I get home about 10 a.m. the first day off, I stay up and try to get only a few hours of sleep, it's been 3-4. Then, that night I am able to go to bed at a fairly normal hour, but end up sleeping somewhere between 10 and 15 hours. I wake up feeling logy and like I could sleep for hours more, but obviously force myself awake; this weekend I knew this might happen and I didn't want to miss the whole day, so I set an alarm to make sure it wasn't on the 15 hours end of the spectrum. I go through my day and that second night am unable to sleep, I think last weekend I wasn't even close to sleepy until about 3 a.m. Last night though, I wasn't tired at all, but made myself lay down at 3:30 a.m., and then I just laid there for 2 hours. Honestly, I only laid down because girl woke and asked me what I was doing, then laughed that I was painting my nails. There were a couple times where it felt like I was falling asleep, but no go. One of those times, I could clearly hear a guitar playing. Apparently, I have written a song and was going to record it, my catch-line was the subject of this post. I was awake enough that I made a mental note that I should write it down on LJ for shits and giggles.

The sun is coming up; it's not even 6 and it's bright out already, though the fog masks the waking world. The birds are chirping and the apple tree has pushed through even more pink buds waiting to blossom. I'm ready to enjoy the day, I have a lot to do, but I know there must be a nap in my future, or I'm going to crash before noon.

Good morning, kids.
