Doggie diary: The story of Rosie and Sophie Early to rise — too early

Like clockwork. It was 5:50 this morning, same as every morning — which makes for a long day during which I sometimes feel like I'm dozing at my desk.

It doesn't seem to matter when we go to bed, either. Hit the sack at 10:30 and wake before 6. Go to bed late — as I did last night after dozing on the couch once the school election results were posted — and 5:50 comes with the doggie alarm.

What's worse is that I couldn't fall asleep last night, tossing and turning while I watched a bio-pic on LBJ. So, I'm looking at about four hours of sleep and a busy day ahead. Ugh.
