earthquakes make for lousy bedfellows

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2009.12.18

Last night I was up fairly late working on various projects. I needed some quality sleep.

Instead, I was woken at around 02:30 by the laundry drying racks blowing over on the balcony. Then an hour later by little Kenny, who insisted on sleeping with us. Then at around 04:30 there was an earthquake that rattled Mari and me awake (but not Kenny). And after that I couldn't go back to sleep. Yaargh.

Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.
