the next part of it is habit.

Could have gone right back to bed, but the process of unraveling this tangled wad of string before it snapped back into place - SCHPLAP! kept me awake and fired up, and now I'm in that slightly revved, hyper state where I'm thinking of getting a Coke and some candy to keep me going.

Sleeeeep...

What song do mama grasshoppers sing to baby grasshoppers? Ooh, the sound of crickets - that's a *beautiful* song! Hard to sing with a human voice, though. Hm.

So: It's a habit.

Part of it's feeling like I'm missing something - the amount of time *wasted* in the 'freeze' state, then the disentangling - I feel *cheated*, somehow, of my life, as if I've spent an *insane* amount of it battling these invisible monsters and demons that no one else can see.

Sad grasshopper face :-(

But.

Progress is being made!

And there's enough time today to do *both* the sleeping *and* the high-rev celebratory wackiness.
