Work now, sleep later

Matt and Arlene have both been sick this past week; Matt woke up about 0300 with a cough, so I got up to take him to the bathroom and Arlene brought up some cough medicine. After that, I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I got up about 0340. Since then, I’ve done a ton of housekeeping tasks that were cluttering up my to-do list (example: tech editing a security article I wrote; opening CD accounts for the boys), and it’s still only 0500. That leaves me plenty of time to hit the treadmill, lift some weights, do some other real work, and then go wake everybody else up. Of course, I’ll be dragging by the time the boys come home from school, but maybe I can squeeze in a nap…
