Me:
Good Monday morning, Mibes! It’s not like you to be late.
Mibes:
(gives me a hug) Good morning! I’m sorry, lost track of the time.
Me:
No worries. I knew you wouldn’t be long.
Mibes:
Thanks for your patience. Glad you're here. How’d you sleep?
Me:
Pretty well. I was tired last night and got to bed early for me. I bet I was
asleep by 10:30. And you?
Mibes:
I’ve also been trying to get more sleep by going to bed earlier. Have you seen
the news about sleep deprivation in the United States?
Me:
Yes, that we’re a whole nation in need of better sleep. And that sometimes people
who are drunk can outperform someone who hasn’t had enough sleep.
Mibes:
What I read said you should say away from phones and TV before bed because the
blue light from the screens is read by your brain as sunlight.
Me:
I should experiment with that. Try to compare my regular routine which usually
includes some screen time with no electronics before bed. Or maybe only music.
Mibes:
I hope the week goes well for you. All the days and all the nights.
Me:
I wish the same for you Mibes. Hope you’re successful in retiring to be early
so you’re not weary and arising early so your body and mind may be invigorated.
Mibes:
D&C 88:124 I take it?
Me:
Yeah, I was reading it before you showed up.
Mibes:
And I was late because I was reading Chinese proverbs this morning before I
left the house and I lost track of the time for a few minutes.
Me:
Find anything good?
Mibes:
I liked this one: “One family builds a wall, two families enjoy it.”
Me:
I guess it could also be that one family tears down a wall and two families
enjoy it. Depending of course on the wall and the families.
Me:
Sounds like you’ve had some personal experience with that.
Mibes:
Just observation.
Me:
Love you Mibes! (giving him a hug)
Mibes:
Love you more.
