For the record

Early to bed and early to rise may make a man healthy, wealthy, and wise, but it doesn't do much of anything for a hummingwolf. After several long weeks of going to bed early and waking up at 5 a.m. (or earlier), I quit. Even when I eat breakfast at 5:30, my body rhythms simply are not adjusting. I need to find a different way to get myself out of the house early in the morning when necessary, because this routine doesn't work for me.

I do have to admit it's been nice to watch the sun rise for a change.

Hummingwolf Today

Now wearing: Black jeans, white socks, multicolored sneakers (or crosstrainers or running shoes or something), long-sleeved medium-weight shirt with a vaguely botanical pattern in mostly neutral colors, very old pair of glasses, and boring underwear.

Now reading: Aside from assorted online things, Mercedes Lackey's Exile's Valor. The Valdemar books seem to be exactly what I've needed this past month: well-written enough that I can immerse myself in the world, with characters I enjoy spending time with, but not something that will strain my brain. Since I've been trying to live on a different sleep schedule, that last bit is important.

Migraine: The pain's almost entirely gone for now.

Miles walked: About 3.5, according to the pedometer. Left the house about half an hour before sunset, which was still early enough to enjoy the beautiful spring weather. Weather prognosticators say we'll be having winter soon, but I'll believe that when I see it.

Last meal: Well, I haven't really eaten a full supper yet. After gettng home, I munched on some walnuts, dried apricots, and dark chocolate chips.

Today's purchases: The aforementioned foods, along with a few other things that happened to be on sale (yogurt, avocado, other stuff I've forgotten).

Now in CD player:
classical compilation with music by Falla, Granados, and Albéniz
Alan Parsons Project, I Robot
Martyn Bennett, Bothy Culture
Depeche Mode, Songs of Faith and Devotion

Rock of the day: GongGong.
