For those who don’t know, I do a lot of writing late at night.

Usually, in the waning hours of the day from about 10:00PM until Midnight, sometimes until 1:00 or 2:00, it’s nice and quiet around here and I can actually get something done. The brain fog has been setting in around 11:00PM lately making it really hard to do anything except brush my teeth and go thud in my bed.

It’s almost unheard of for me to go to bed that early. I worked second and third shifts for over two decades and going to bed early seems kinda weird to me. I used to eat “lunch” at 3:00AM every day, even on my nights off.

I wasn’t a stranger to dozing off on my keyboard back then at times, but not every night. I’m sincerely hoping whatever is going on with me is temporary because this is ridiculous. I have stuff to do. I can’t be dozing off this early all the time. My days only get crazier from here.

Soon, my wife and I will be chasing the kids around to baseball, swimming, and tennis. That’s only two of the kids. Our oldest in fixing to graduate next month. Plus throw in all the appointments generated by a family of six, of which there are many, and the schedule fills up really fast.

That’s what’s going on with me. Hopefully I can stay coherent going forward. This zine needs lots of love and attention. I can’t afford to fall asleep on my keyboard too much more. If I ever start raving like a mad man in the description or at the end of a post, you’ll know what’s going on, anyway.

Thank you for being here today with me. I appreciate you. Please embrace the things that bring you the most joy.
