I really think I fell asleep just a few minutes, if not seconds, after getting into bed last night. And a solid eight and a half hours later, I woke up.

I did spend a bit of time in bed listening to NPR - I always tune in for "The Puzzler" on "Weekend Edition" - but then I put on my floor and started my day. Some cleaning, some grocery shopping, some cooking, some breakfasting (alas, not "on croissants and café au lait" - anyone else get that reference?), some more cleaning, and some laundry-ing. All in all, a very good morning so far. And I since it is such a nice day - temps in the upper-50s, I'm gonna try to get out of here in a bit and spend some time in the sun.
