Tonight, I fell asleep sometime in the 7:00 hour, just dozed off in my standard pose – stretched out on beloved green loveseat, fingers on laptop keyboard. I woke up at some point during the 8:00 hour (halfway through Big Bang Theory, which my TV had changed itself to; since it was trying to record two shows at once, it couldn’t stay on the third it was already on). I was coherent enough to realize that I’d gotten less than a handful of hours of sleep the “night” before, so I dragged off to bed, in order to not repeat the epic insomnia I’ve been dealing with. Which may or may not be election-coverage-related.
Barely managed to put on pajamas and crawl into bed. Didn’t even think about the fact that I hadn’t posted here today. Just sleep, baby, sleep.
So when I woke up suddenly and the clock read 11:30, I held an internal debate. Should I drag myself back out of bed and attempt to post something in the next 30 minutes? Or should I take my nascent goal and hurl it into the big steaming pile of all my other goals?
Well, gentle reader, I got up. Back out to the living room, ignoring the cat I’d forgotten to feed, and flipped on the tv. For some reason I was expecting it to be on CNN, since that’s what I’d supposedly left it on. Okay, I get why it’s on CBS, now I remember about the “recording two shows at once” thing, but why in the world is – is that CSI Miami that’s on my TV? The hell?
I assume you’ve already guessed what it took me far too long to realize. Stupid daylight savings time. Even stupider me, for not changing my bedroom clock yet.
In other news, my cable internet and/or router is not working for some reason. But I’ve been able to use my cell phone tethered to my computer, and this makes me reasonably happy. Especially since it now means that I won’t be tied to finding a nearby Panera when I’m traveling and need to use the internet
It’s not the fastest speed, it’s classified as “dial-up”, but it’s faster than I remember dial-up speed being, and it’s faster than the neighbor’s crummy wireless!
Now the big conundrum, should I go back to sleep or should I stay up and watch election coverage? sigh
