Timepiece (two)

We had a nice little get-together to celebrate out anniversary last night, and I got to bed around midnight ... which is not helpful when you need to get up at six for a four mile.

And yet, these days I am waking naturally at ten to six, every day, like clockwork. It's the time, it's the light, it's the heat. It's the encroaching old man in me.

Oof, so glad tomorrow is a day off. Chris says he's lifting tomorrow, but I will sleep, or try to. It was a lovely party last night, I had three beers, which is one over my limit, but I cut myself off several hours before bed, drinking a lot of water, which was good.

Then there was the food. Drink, eat, repeat.

We have amazing friends. I love my house, my neighborhood. I love my wife, and my children. Whatever else comes to pass, however else I am feeling, I know these things to be true. And that helps.
