Not so much up early...

...as never having properly gone to sleep.

I again lay awake in bed, unable to fall asleep, from 10:30 last night to somewhere approaching 3 am (I last looked at the clock around 2:40). I slept fitfully, dreaming I was translating an endless text that was maddeningly similar - lines that are variations on "you are passing through a maze of twisty little passages," but having tediously and repetitively to do with some engineering process.

At 3:45 am, the cat - as if enlisted in a conspiracy to keep me awake - started meowing and scratching the door for all she was worth.

Resisting the urge to strangle the cat, I let the animal out and went back to bed. At the current moment, I am fully alert. The back of my eyeballs feel scratchy. I am tired, I yawn from time to time, but sleep eludes me.

Farblegarg.

Cheers...
