Today is going to be an interesting day.  For several reasons. First, I need to be at town hall this morning before 8:45 because I'm attending a town council meeting and I plan to speak at said meeting.  Secondly, because I was very concerned about being sure I would wake in time I actually set my tablet alarm clock for 6 am. Plenty of time, no rushing. And lastly, today will be interesting because while I clearly set the alarm for 6 am, it went off at 4 am.  I have no idea why that happened.  The alarm went off. I got up, showered, dressed, did my hair, walked past a clock and went......"what?  it's only 5 o'clock?"

Well, in and of itself, this it not a big, fat hairy deal. I woke up extra early., so what.  Well, the thing is, you see, I didn't fall asleep until some time after 2:00am.  So I am operating on about 2 hours sleep here.  Which, is also not that big of a deal. But the same thing happened the night before that. And the night before that. You see a pattern emerging here.

If you know me well, you might already know that I have never been a good sleeper.  Even as a little kid, I can remember laying awake, but pretending to be asleep for hours.  It did not get better as I got older and in fact, has probably only gotten worse.  I try to not  make a big thing about it because, well, that certainly won't help the situation.  And I know that, eventually, I will sleep.  One night, hopefully  soon, I will crash hard and sleep through the entire night and in the morning I will feel like a new woman. One who is actually fully awake.  It is a glorious thing when it happens.

I'm not one of those people who is cranky when they don't get enough sleep. I'm fine. Fortunately, I seem to operate pretty well on less snooze time than most people. And when I get really tired, I just get silly. Odd things make me laugh and sometimes once I start giggling, I have a hard time stopping. Which makes everyone around me start laughing too.  It's not a bad thing at all.  But, you know, I would like to be taken seriously at this meeting, so nobody make me laugh, okay? 

So, I reckon we shall see how the day goes.  As long as I don't trip over my big feet walking to the microphone this morning, I think I'll be okay.  And the rest of the week, I'll just wake up, when I happen to wake up and not rely on an obviously flawed system with my tablet alarm clock (that was so weird).  And maybe tonight will be the night that I sleep.  Meanwhile, it will be an interesting day.  I've read that there is an ancient curse, "May you live in interesting times."  Not sure I agree with that being a curse.  Living in boring times would be worse, I think.  Then, good. If nothing else, today will not be boring.

I hope your day is not boring!

    Yup, this is me. Some people said, "Sam, you should write a Blog".   "Well, there's a thought", I thought to myself. And so here it is.
