One of the great pleasures of being retired is getting up whenever I wake up. For most of my life, I awoke to the clock radio, usually at 6:00. But not any more. I still wake up at 6:00 but I go back to sleep for another hour or so. But today I did not wake up until 11:00. I felt like one of the teenagers who sleep until noon. It was almost noon when I was eating breakfast. Such decadence.
I have gotten into the habit of going to bed around midnight, which is OK because I get up around 8:00 but what occurred for me to stay asleep until 11:00 is a mystery. The only excuse I could think of was the lack of company. This morning was the first day since we arrived that we had no house guests so I had no responsibilities. This really makes no sense because our guests make the coffee and prepare their own breakfast but I must sense that I have tasks to do and people to see. Now I am really and truly off duty. I wonder when I will wake up tomorrow?
