9/25: sleeping in

I used to rely on "natural rising"--not setting an alarm--on weekends during the school year and everyday during the summer.  But Tilde the Cat's situation means that we have to keep more regular hours: we need to follow a consistent schedule of feeding and insulin shots.  So I haven't slept in since she came home from the cat hospital in early June.  Yesterday I asked Chris if he could do the morning shift with Tilde so that I could have a day with natural rising, and he did.  It felt weird to have fewer hours to do things in the morning!  But I needed the rest and to be freed from the clock a bit.
