the data is in

Here’s that crazy bi-phasic sleep gap. 

I get up, wide awake for an hour or so ...

Then go back to sleep. 

I always have slept in 2 phases. 

Always. Since childhood. 

The other times are just 

getting to pee. 

Finally back to walking. 

It’s been a week.

I’m no Alpha Dog. 

More like a Beta. 

I don’t want to be the lead-

More like the Deuteragonist. 

You like that word? (Link)

It’s good also to be back to reading. 

So I called my “people” 

and asked them nicely

To try to keep from going in my room. 

I rent a room. And it’s not locked.

So anyone just hours in there

Like we’re brothers and sisters. 

Just not this time, please. 

I started to redo the closet 

When I got super busy. 

And super tired. 

About the time of the Reunion. 

So it’s been awhile. 

Time to deep clean. 

Everyone please stay away

Until I can get to it. 

That happened at my old apartment

With my broken leg. 

Things just piled up,

And then the place flooded. 

And I’ll be damned-

That’s the time suddenly 

People want to stop in

And leave a note ... etc. 

But very few people offer to help clean. 

Jeez. Insanity. 

Murphy and his Laws suck. 

And they go away thinking 

I must be One Sick Puppy

To have such a messy place. 

Cleaning Is not a priority-

I mean not having everything like 

An Army Inspection. 

What a waste of time and energy. 

Truth be told I seldom like to make my bed. 

I’m organized and sanitary.

A common theme of this blog

Is me letting crap go

Then cleaning like a Mad Woman. 

Hmmmm. 



So yes. The data is in. 

And here it is. 

It’s good to sleep. 

And don’t eat crap. 

Fast regularly. 

And get some walking in. 

Preferably in the sun. 

And try to be nice. 

If for no other reason, 

To avoid stress.

Don’t be a freaking jerk. 

Make time to read or have a hobby. 

Travel all you can. 

Keep your friends and family close. 

Listen to nice music,

And keep your place clean-

But don’t go crazy with the last one. 

Do things mindfully. 

Keep the mirror (of your mind) clean. 

And there you have it.

Everything you need for a happy life. .
