My computer's clock reads 2:27 am. That means I have been up for 27 minutes. I'm not sure why I could not sleep, but it probably had something to do with the fact that, for some reason, I could hear and feel my very rapid heartbeat...something like a locomotive in terms of speed and sound. Once I got up, the sensation of the rapid, "thud, thud, thud, thud" in my chest and in my ears disappeared. I've had mightily stopped-up sinuses of late, which no doubt contributes.
I checked my email after I awoke and, to my delight, I had no new messages since I checked it before going to bed last night. It's a sign of the season: people don't have time to send me messages at all hours of the night, expecting immediate responses. My two latest messages were from 9:54 pm, which I read last night, and from 10:20 am on Saturday, which I also read last night. The 10:20 am message must have been sent from someplace like China; I read it last night, too, before I went to bed...the sender, though, lives in Dallas, but I gather is "on the road."
I decided to take advantage of the late hour to download lots of photos from my camera and then transfer them to my office PC. Through the wonders of technology, I can do that, though it's not a rapid process...it's going on as I write this and is expected to take 24 minutes. I have nothing better to do, though, and I need the photos for an electronic newsletter...it will be good to have them available, finally, at the office where I need them.
The weather here has taken a turn toward warm. According to my Weather Underground report on my home page, it's 63 degrees, which I suspect is a good 20 degrees warmer than a typical night this time of year in Dallas. Forecasts call for highs in the 70s for the next few days, which is not too bad, but it certainly dampens the sensation of wintertime.
Well, enough wee-hour ramblings for the moment. Maybe I'll try sleeping again...or maybe I'll just surf the web.
