But the fire leading up to the sleeplessness, swaying with the breeze in the hammock, star gazing and letting your thoughts go where they may...and then catching a few hours of shuteye till the first rays of light begin to stretch across the sky, followed by steaming coffee and watching the morning unfold before your eyes...and the anticipation of getting the bike loaded up and heading out..glorious!
But of late...take the kitchen sink and the sofa, load it into the pickup, sleep better and use the spot as a radius from which to do day rides.
32 oz. Gatorade bottle. Thank me later. Also sorry to hear RLS has claimed another victim. If I don't take my Pramipexole by 17:30, I'm in for a miserable night.
As for the rest, I hope to be able to try my hammock out again and experience that kind of bliss. My one outing with it to date didn't fare too well with the wind and undersized trees.
There's nothing quite like this for relaxation.
