Up with the sun

Usually, in the summer i am up with the sunshine. this is the east end of the house and sunshine just pours through this wall of windows. right across the room.....and into the bedroom window. when the sun hits my eyelids....it wakes me up.

Usually...that is ok. BUT....when you become a band groupie and go and listen to music and dance the night away....and don't get home till late (or early..LOL)....and don't get to sleep until 2am....i do NOT want to wake up with the sun.

So, my solution was to quilt a curtain for the bedroom window. dark fabric....2 layers of batting....keep that sunshine at bay.

From the bedroom side ..... a black curtain. i can tell you it works. i slept till 7:45 this morning. woohoo!

Now if i can just convince the dog that going to chase things in the field doesn't have to be an early morning actitivity and she, too, can sleep late....well, then i'll be in business for sure. she comes and sits by my side of the bed and whines till i let her out.

Perhaps i need a curtain on the window in the dog's room, too. i'll give that some thought..

Later
