Here She Comes, Again

There is noting quite like awaking at 5:30 am to put a spring in your step.
Coffee, though, is the Great Equalizer. It makes one feel rested until nearly noon, if administered in large quantities.
Today is looking a bit long-ish from here. The house is less than clean, and there is a list of duties that will pull me hither and thither until the sun goes down. Which? Sounds a little like a Country Western tune.

The whole daylight saving thing means that the sun is in evidence until 7:30 around here. This has the welcome effect of extending my quotient of daily alertness well into evening. Which is a boon. During the winter months, I am ready for bed by 5, and can barely keep awake for dinner. During the daylight months, I need far less sleep. Summer's a comin'. And the livin' is easy.
Which? Brings to mind Porgy and Bess.

Usually, I get really excited about the Summer at about this point in the year. Summer has often meant leisurely days at the local puddle with Kara. There's SPF 30, picnic lunches, and bugspray.
Tim's pool is also a delightful possibility. There is no need of bugspray, there. And he will refill our drinks while we bake in the sun. And perhaps he'll cook for us on the grille.
This year is unclear to me as yet. Like looking into one of those swirly-foggy crystal balls (which I do so much of). I wonder if I'm going to be working much? Or if we'll still be trying to get thru Math and History? Or if I'll have any time at all for lounging in the sun? Summer's only fun if it's a break from real life. If I have to continue with real life, while everyone else is having fun, I'm going to get grumpy.
Which doesn't bring to mind any songs at all.

Speaking of songs,
wouldn't it be amusing to compose an entire blog post with song titles? You know, in my spare time.
It's a Hard Knock life, for us.
But don't worry, be happy.
The sun will come out Tomorrow.

Oh dear. I'm annoying even myself.
