good sleep

used to be, for most of 2008 and half of 2007 and early 2009, i went out four to six nights a week, on average, and some periods I’d have up to twenty nights in a row where I was going out somewhere to do something with others… the last three months I slowed down that social life considerably, heading out only once a week and in some cases, not at all (except for four or five times a week for softball, so it’s not actually that I was staying home, actually, just that I was not expanding my social contacts as much)…

and cutting back on social life has not even slightly increased my sleep time, in fact, spending more time at home has decreased my sleep time, as it usually does, because inactivity increases my stored energy and craving for mental stimulation and so I spend more nights up late looking for something interesting or amusing on tv (a futile effort most nights) or exploring new music and browsing the web and/or writing and/or playing games…

so last night, except for a brief roll over earlier, was the sweet deep sleep I have not enjoyed for some time and go figure, it was in the big green chair (which is not nearly as comfy as it used to be)… and now, after exploring the new laptop a bit more (and writing to intel cuz they asked for feedback… you can find the letter somewhere online and if I remember to upload it to my web world I will try to remember to link it here at some future date and time) and now, it is time to ponder the day and evening…

calling precious and raspy and minnie and jane and possibly others is on the agenda, but as I do not want to spend the afternoon on the phone and I am challenged to find ways to stop giving the first three money every month (and is it the first of the month already?... sheeesh, no wonder I cut back on social life… and yes, it is time to come up for air and change the pattern, but saying no is such a sour taste in my mouth… still, i am not getting enough of what I want, nor am I taking care of myself as well as I could/should/want to, so there must be an adjustment in the imbalance…

could be an interesting day, narf :}
