Greased Lightning

 


I've been waking up too early lately. I can't remember the last time my alarm clock woke me up. Around 3am, my brain shudders awake, begins to speed around a mental race track and I start thinking of everything. I feel this intense rush of ideas and creativity in the morning, but the early rising is wearing me out. 

I scramble to get some of my thoughts and ideas "down on paper", so to speak before my work starts at 6:30am. Past noon, everything slows down in my head and at 2:30pm, it's time to relax (or try, anyway). Listening to music, reading, walking, or working out will relax me, but being outside will give me the most peace.

When I was a child, I spent half my time outside and the other half in my room, listening to records and reading. Since I've been an adult, I'm inside most of the time, either working, reading, or surfing the internet. Now that the weather is warmer, I start walking in the neighborhood again before it gets too hot.
