I took this at 9:30 p.m. I had just woken up.

I tried to get back on a normal sleep schedule last night. I really did. After being up all night two nights ago, I powered through yesterday instead of going to bed at dawn. I got a LOT done. Knocked about 20 items off my to-do list, watched four Netflix movies, dropped those in the mail to be taken today, ran errands, on and on and on. Day One of Project 2010 was an inspiring success.I got in bed at 1 a.m., satisfied. And I fell asleep almost immediately. Well done, KV.

Then I woke up at 5 a.m. And ruined it. Around 8 a.m., I took some Advil PM. BIG mistake. When I woke up, I saw darkness. I snatched my cellphone off my bedside table, flipped it open in the dark room and the bright screen bore “9:10 pm” down on me like the hot dry sun blistering a patch of skin in the desert.

I had slept, without even cracking an eye, for over 13 hours. I don’t know whether to be disappointed I slept through a day so early in the Project, or whether to be lenient because it’s so early in the Project.

And the salt in the wound? All the mail I put out yesterday to be picked up? The mailman didn’t get it. Left it in the box. The ONE thing I planned ahead for and coulda accomplished even in sleep did not get done. Fuuuuuuuh.

Some of my Jan 2 to-do list can still get done. I’m gonna knock some of that out. Then I’m gonna get back in bed, hopefully before dawn, and see if I can’t put this schedule back on schedule.
