a new schedule, and i'm on the lam!
as of today, i've changed my work schedule to 10-6 for a while. i've been having insomnia for probably six months now, and it doesn't look like i'm going to be getting to sleep any earlier, so i'm just going to get up later.
fortunately, my job, workplace, and manager are quite flexible when it comes to time, and it's possible for me to shift my schedule like that.
i didn't really wake up any later this morning, but the difference was that i didn't have to rush. i had time to take a walk (something i hope that extra hour allows me to do every day-- walking should, in turn, help me sleep much better), and get breakfast, and not feel like i was in a mad rush at all.
i feel pretty good. fed, walked, and pretty much rested. i'm not exactly hitting the ground running here at work; in fact, i feel a little disoriented. but mostly, i feel happy, the way i always do when i feel i've taken a new level of control over my life.

woke this morning to a dream that i'd become involved in a crime committed by, on, and solved by children. and i had to go on the lam! i woke dreaming of the logistics... how to get my money out of the bank without detection... how to get transportation... a guide to campgrounds... a tent and sleeping bag at any target... and at my grandmother's admonition, i took the time to pack all of my things, since the cops weren't coming for me quite yet.

ooh, yes, peanut butter is the perfect food for being on the lam!
the thing that amazes me is that i didn't think about taking my westy. it's the perfect on the lam vehicle.
