Oh I’m sleepy. S’no good. I’m sleepy and my phone is sleepy too. Also no good. Thought I brought my charger. Can’t find it. My Life revolves around wifi and batteries to an unnerving extent and that’s no good either.
I’m sitting in a sunbeam at Teavolve, and as you can imagine, that’s not really helping my sleepiness. I think I’ve been catching Cat from the cats and the urge to curl up in the sunshine and snooze is almost irresistible. Running my open mic is fun, but so is napping.
80s music comes down through the PA, the setting sun is pouring on to my flannel-clad back, and all-in-all, the world’s calm. For just a moment. Not much extraneous noise – just the murmers of conversation and the occasional mouse-click from the table behind me.
Last night I ran the first open mic at Republic that felt like it had run smoothly. It was kind of wonderful. We even finished out a ways early, allowing me to be home by 1am and in bed by two, but the late nights are taking their toll… or again… maybe it’s just that sunshine. I had started off this day with the best of intentions, but only got a tiny bit into any of my adult tasks: gathering materials for my taxes rather than doing, researching about my health insurance rather than changing it, running errands rather than really DOING stuff. Probably the only real accomplishment was a successful wrassle with the vacuum cleaner, extracting what might well have been a badger from the house. And a twist tie. It was kind of heinous.
And for this I sacrifice my time and a coat hanger.
