Update

Raphael "Saint Michael"

I've been back from my 2-weeks away for about 8 days now.  It's been slow getting back to anything resembling a 5:00 AM wakeup to start Matins on time.  The consequence has been that I've been playing catchup during the mornings for most of the last week.  This includes this morning.

I wonder if my swimming—which I've been quite regular with these three weeks—needs to be earlier in the day.  It seems the more it's a late-afternoon swim, the herder it is to get up the next morning.  It's hard enough to get up in the morning, no need to make it harder.  An earlier swim shouldn't be too tough to arrange.
