Last night, I had a hard time falling to sleep. So, I decided to fire up Netflix and look for the "Headspace Guide to Meditation". Somehow, if I can get into a meditative state late at night (or when overtired), I will fall asleep. And this is exactly what happened towards the end of the first episode.
When I awoke early in the morning, several episodes of the series had played while I was asleep, and I switched the TV to MSNBC to get my fix of Morning Joe while I was getting ready for work. Leaving the house a few minutes earlier than usual, I was able to avoid much of the rush hour crunch that affects Route 9A south of Croton. This allowed me to reach the office with 20 minutes to spare. (I needed those minutes to have a second cup of coffee.)
All though the day, Hypnos (the Greek god of sleep) was testing me. Yet, I was able to function tolerably well until the end of the work day. After stopping at home, I decided to make a quick run to Walmart to get some exfoliating makeup remover wipes. Walmart's store brand is relatively inexpensive, and their exfoliating wipes don't disintegrate when contacting the stubble on my face. Unfortunately, they didn't have the exfoliating wipes in stock, so I'll have to look for them on my next Walmart run.
Maybe tonight, I'll fall out before Perry Mason comes on....
