Lately I notice an alarming trend:  I\’ll shut off the alarm clock; and the next thing I know, it\’s an hour later! It drives me crazy when that happens; and it happened today.

I was too tired and sleepy to get hustling for even a short ride. Night before last I didn\’t get much sleep at all; so I guess my body was playing catch-up.

At least I could ride the hybrid to work. With a \”partly cloudy\” forecast in the offing, I decided to leave the rain gear home. About an hour before I left work, it began to rain. Luckily it stopped in time for me to get home dry. A location not far away is getting a T-storm with strong wind. I\’m glad it\’s not here!

Sometimes T-storms happen every day for what seems like an eternity; and that\’s an alarming trend. Having to ride through rain plus lightning is quite unnerving. If it\’s time to go to work, I there may not be time wait out bad weather; and if it\’s time to go home after work, I don\’t want to wait.

Of course I can\’t do anything to make storms go away; but what can I do about trouble waking up mornings? Obviously, get to bed earlier; and that\’s easier said than done. I always have too much to do!
