3 hours.

Since I slept for four hours in the middle of the day, I was wide awake in the evening. I was determined to get some writing done. I really wanted to go to the coffee shop. The dilemma, most of the coffee shops around here close early. Yes early in N.Y. The one downstairs closes at 8. The one down the block closes at 8. But, there is one Tea Lounge about 10 minutes walking that closes at 1. That’s where I really wanted to go. However, I’m often comfortable being close to home.

Since I had an abundance of sleep I decided to make my way to the other tea lounge once the ones by my house closed up. I packed my bag with my laptop and began walking. On my way there a bus came so I hopped on. Within a couple of minutes I was there. Once inside, I ordered a pot of tea. Although I had half of a soy latte at the previous café, I couldn’t sit in here and work and not order anything.

I believe I only had one cup of the pot of tea while I was there. What was so cool about being in that space with tons of other loungers was that I was just motivated and inspired to do my own thing and get my work done. I felt so good when I was able to start crossing the to-do items off my list. Yay! The downside? By the time I got home I was still wired with a little energy left in me. When I finally went to sleep I only had 3 hours until it was time for me to wake up to go to work.

All I have to say is 3 hours is not enough time to properly function on a Monday morning at work.
