Overslept…Again

By Joe

I feel like I’m already running behind this morning. I overslept again, something I rarely do but have done the past two Wednesdays. What is it about Wednesday mornings? I was more tired than usual yesterday, so maybe I needed a little extra sleep. Even with Isabella trying to wake me, I just continued to sleep only slightly aware that she was trying to wake me to feed her. Today should be a pretty easy day at work. I have a staff meeting this afternoon, but otherwise, all that’s on my agenda is sending a few follow up emails. I just don’t like feeling rushed in the morning. I prefer to take my time and fully wake up, have a cup of tea, and eat breakfast. I did the latter two, but I still feel like if I crawled back into bed, I’d quickly fall back to sleep. Hopefully, that will get better as the morning progresses. I’m sure a good shower will help.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

    The no-undies doesn’t appear sinful to me. I dress in much less throughout the day.

    While I’m retired now, I can look back and say when I didn’t feel like going into work or would have rather taken my time and be late it was a sign I needed to take a break. Sometimes, it was a sign of burnout and in need of a change but was too damn stubborn and stuck it out.
