Dream a little dream of me

I don't wake up quickly or well. I mostly don't want to wake up at all. I have to have at least one cup of coffee quietly to myself before I am ready to be any kind of social. Then I like to get dressed and brush my hair before I sit to watch the birds come feed and chat with the mate.

I think it's because I find it hard to get to sleep in bed that I hate to be woken up. I have to really work at relaxing and shutting down the mind. I usually read for a while, too, to get my mind out of reality and into fantasy so it stops repeating things to itself. Once I have reached sleep I just want to stay there until I feel like getting up.

Then there is work...LLLL. I have to get there for several reasons. Right now we are busy enough that I expect to be shipping and arranging orders for many days in a row. Sales are going to be taking a back seat to customer service. That's why there were no posts then 3 of them, I haven't had the time or energy to get them up this week.

But the point of mentioning work is that it requires me to be up everyday. So I get up. Once I am up and get going the planet and the mate make my days interesting. The birds squawk and squabble over the feeders and the bird bath, the trees are still a glowing yellow at the neighbors house, the lawn needs mowing this weekend. The mate gives me a hug and some kisses to carry me until I get home and I watch for the deer, coons, dogs, cats and other critters that jump in and out of my road and make the trip to work different everyday.

Then I am where I am needed. It's a phone call, paperer shuffle world but it's mine and I do it well. I like most of my customers and we enjoy some strange calls that start out with product delivery and end up on UBC Beach in Vancover BC.

So I'm up. And I thought I would mention that your blogs give me little glimpses of other lives and times that perk up my humdrum day when I get a minute to catch up with you all. I really appreciate all of my blogger buddies! Thanks for the smiles!
