I wasn't planning to get an early start

... but I woke up at something like 4am needing an antacid, and the jar of Tums on the headboard was empty. By the time I got back to bed my little bearlike brain was all full of music, and I couldn't get back to sleep. Got up about 4:45 and made coffee.

Early to bed and early to rise
Gives you more time to put on your disguise.

It is now mere seconds shy of 8am, and I've already washed the pots, started the dishwasher, caught up on LJ, done my backups, checked for updates, read some dead trees, made and eaten a plate of fried rice for breakfast, and posted in ohiblather's virtual birthday party for jodimuse, allisona, unkbar, and trystel.

Maybe I'll take my walk early. Or maybe I'll go back to bed.
