I have not worked two late nights in a row in quite a while and I had forgotten the hell of sheer exhaustion buzz in my head.  Of course, after dropping the kids off at school this morning, I was wide awake and decided that gardening a little was absolutely a grand idea.  I eventually went back to bed, sleeping fitfully as someone who would rather be asleep at night would.  The clear blue sky and my deck called my name all day.   I so wished I could of listened.

After today I am off for the weekend.  I know tomorrow I am going to be up way too early since I have not seen the kids much in the past few days and this afternoon not at all. I can’t wait to  revel in their wholesome chaos.

For tonight it is back to the drama of the dive bar.  I love the power of remembering everyone’s drunken nights.
