The weather has been damp and cloudy since Sunday and today will provide more rain by the early afternoon.

3:50 AM begged me for a bathroom break.

4:00 AM begged me to return to sleep.

4:30 AM begged me to return to sleep.

4:45 AM begged me to return to sleep.

5:05 AM found me falling into a fast deep sleep with an hour to go before my alarm sounded.

5:10 AM found me yelling out my window, “SHUT UP, YOUR RUDE WOMEN!” to some very loud women who were running and yelling to one another. One of the women said, “Oh…”

“Oh?” Geesh!  If they put as much effort into their exercise as they do their inconsiderate behavior, they should be in the shape of any young Olympian vying for the gold.

6:10 AM found me cussing and groaning as I rose from my bed with two+ hours of no sleep.

The Temptations’ show, AIN’T TOO PROUD, is starting its run at The Schuster Center and I will be house managing five of the eight shows. I think it will be a swell time to revisit hit songs I grew up with. I have comp tickets to see the show this evening, but with the lost sleep, I just don’t think it will stay on the agenda.

I would rather return to my bed, but I need to stay on schedule. Erma has finished off my cereal milk, and the other four are still hanging on the deck waiting to return inside.

Make it a great day!
