I slept for about four hours straight, but when I woke up at three for a bathroom run and to switch to the big room, I realized that I would not be falling back to sleep anytime soon. I let the cats inside to eat, and I resumed reading Mallon's Reagan novel. I had an early breakfast at around five (red velvet cake and tea), and at around six, I tried to sleep. It didn't come easy now either, and, at best, I dozed a little for the next couple of hours. After that, I think I got a good hour of sleep to help salvage the day. I am now set for an early lunch.
Incidentally, autumn has kicked in another gear. The mercury dipped into the sixties. I shut off the ceiling fan and put on my t-shirt. And here we are at eleven o'clock and the indoor temperature is still in the seventies, and I still have my shirt on, though the ceiling fan is back on (I'm not ready to switch the fan to winter-mode).
