Monday's the first day of school, so it'd be bad for me to ditch that! I think it's a combination of not having anything to do in the summer and anxiety about school starting again with a whole new set of kids that's induced this sleeplessness in me.

My plan is to not sleep until tonight. I actually got 50 miles of good driving in, a grande coffee, and 3 hours of prep work in!

Definitely enjoyed her! I recommend wake of dawn drives to anyone that's never driven that early before. You get the whole freeway to yourself and the air smells fresh. She was covered and dustless when I pulled her out, and now she's got a visible layer. My 8hp Master Blaster is shipping here tomorrow, so I'm hoping that will take care of the dust.

I did the 5am thing the first night I brought my first Corvette home. I could not sleep at all that first night.
