Reset Forty-Eight, Day Five

Saturday I got my afternoon sunlight nap. I've usually had trouble sleeping in bright light, but this seems to be different. My back is to the window, the sun warming it, and it feels a bit like lying on a beach on a lost summer afternoon, time snagged on a slow-drifting cloud, calm subduing the breakers on the sand. I only get a few more weeks of this and then the afternoon sun will be too high in the sky to get under the eaves. Already the inner edge of the bed is in shadow most of the afternoon.

But Saturday the sun was a bit hazy, due to some lingering overcast. Today it ought to be bright, and it should be warm. I hope my sleep schedule works out so I'm ready for a nap, and I remember to do it. This brief warm spell will be a nice break in the winter, which will be back later this week. Next Thursday might even bring a bit more very welcome snow to the mountains. Not everything this year is horrifying. For now at least. Knock on wood and hope it doesn't burn.
