I was fast asleep when Sheila's alarm went off at 4 this morning.  I usually wake up at different hours of the night and feel almost rested and I just start thinking about things to take advantage of being awake and I eventually go back to sleep.  So the earlier I wake up the better so I have more time to use.  But this morning I had that groggy half asleep feeling that I knew would go away when I went back to sleep but I felt yucky until then.  I remembered many times when I had to get up to go to work or to the temple of to something like my wife having a baby and I just had to deal with the feeling and do what I had to do.  So knowing that I could just roll over and cover up and go back to sleep made it easier to deal with.  I do remember when Sheila came and said goodbye to me and she told me that she had pumped just so I wouldn't have to worry about it.  I really appreciated her for her kindness so I had to do something for her today.  Not that it is a quid pro quo deal, but that is just what you do for each other.  So I went on the rounds this afternoon and she took a nap.  Even she was surprised at how long she slept the on the couch.  I did another favor for her tonight, but it was just as much of a favor for my, but I will still count it.  We went to the Draper Temple for a ward sealing session that our High Priests Quorum is trying to get started.  It was its 2nd month and this time we had 6.  The first time there were only 4.  Maybe if we keep at it....  It was a nice way to spend our evening.  I realized just how many options are out there.  Ball games to watch,   Work to do.  But it was a good choice. Sheila told me that I am turning into quite a night owl.  I didn't write about our movie last night, but we watched the Harry Potter movie on pay per view.  So that's at least 4 nights in a row that I've stayed up till after 11 or even 12.  Its getting to where I don't even recognize myself.
