Evening Ritual  − 26 July, 2008

It is my time, a time I look forward to.  No matter how good or bad my day has been, my evening ritual is almost like my morning coffee.  It is special, and very fine.

I browse a little Dandelife.  I take my meds, which will cause me to become very sleepy anywhere from 1/2  to 1 1/2 hour from then.  I lay down with a book and read until my eyes almost cannot stay open.

Then I don headphones and queue up my favorite song on my iPod.  On the best nights, I  go under by the time the song finishes.  I have at times woken up in the middle of the night with the headphones still on.

It is my special time away from the world, and it is my break from whatever else has happened that day.
