Playing catch-up on posts again. After 8 years of living with someone who wakes up at least 4 hours later than me, I’m having to relearn how to be social in the morning. Failing spectacularly, but then again Emily sets the bar low for what constitutes socialization, and does not yet require erudition and complex analysis of world events. Her 5:30 am feeding I’ve decided to designate a “night” feeding (even though the sun rises halfway through), which means no talking, all business, and all efforts focussed on getting done in under 30 minutes so we can go back to sleep, both of us. This helps my sanity a lot!
