Night Owl

It is amazing how much your life changes when you add a baby into the mix. Normally I wouldn’t even think about being awake at 3:42 in the morning, except during my law school days when I was getting up early to study rather than staying up late to fall asleep over my books. Now, it is almost becoming a ritual to get a couple of minutes of computer time after feeding the baby and putting her back to bed while I wait to make sure she has gone back to sleep. Although I look forward to having nights of uninterrupted sleep, I do appreciate the quiet moments of “me time” that I am getting by having to wake up at this hour. Even Tokyo is quiet and asleep at this hour.
