That Little Extra ...

That little extra sleep, where you wake up and go to the bathroom at your normal hour but you don't have to go to work so you go back to sleep, here's the thing about that.
My dog, has been dragging ass ... I'm worried about him, need to get him in for his annual, hope he doesn't have heartworm or anything. Anyway he's been dragging, especially on the final mile around the lake, an the pull has thrown me off a little and I have this lingering Achilles strain. So, it's fine and healing but I notice on two consecutive days a significant improvement after that extra hour or two of sleep. Also, it is heavy with vivid dreams. I was under the impression the heavy lifting of repair happened, metabolically, during the the first few hours of sleep, so is this not the case here or maybe this is a case of finishing touches, or is getting up and walking around helping the healing along? Who knows, but there's definitely a difference.
I gave dog a bath and brushed him and #3 took him out for a run and said he didn't notice anything. I also finally ran alone and felt like crap, got outrun for about a mile by an old Guatemalan lady. That's what I get for losing faith in dog. Dog must eat less also. Maybe I am too hard on dog. The floor is too hard on dog ... his bed got wet in the flood and now we let him on the couch but he still mostly lays on the floor. It's cooler i guess.

I tried drawing some after walking through the MAI on Father's Day with the kids. It was wonderful walking through the Japanese galleries. The kids' wrestling around didn't even bother me.
