A Wasted Week?
My wife and kids left last Saturday morning for a 5-day trip to see my folks in Idaho. Being the sort of person who enjoys some alone time, I expected that this would be a period of great personal reflection, goal-setting, and progress in areas I’ve neglected in favor of family obligations.
Instead, I’ve slept. A lot.
Saturday, I slept in until just after 1pm. Sunday, I got up just in time to make it to Sacrament meeting at 9am, and then slept–more or less–the rest of the day. Monday, I slept in until 9am, and made it to work around 10-ish. Today, slept until almost 10, and finally walked into my office just shy of 11am. And mind you–I have been in bed with the lights out before 11:15pm every night.
It. Is. Awesome.

I never sleep well when my wife and children are away. I admire your ability to sleep with them gone! It’s a gift!
