Flummery of a Bibliobibuli

I swear I have the craziest sleep cycle.

Here I am sitting at my laptop (actually my husband's laptop since mine died) at 1:31 a.m. Am I tired? Nope. A little drowsy. Uhuh. In fact, I feel like I have my second wind...and closing in on my third wind. So what does this mean for me? Well...now...that means I will be pulling an all nighter to reset my internal clock.

You may be sitting there wondering if an all nighter is really necessary.

Let me put it this way:

(Thanks, Pinterest, for all the fun fun fun images).

It is seriously true. So...that means sleep is everything thing to me...and an all nighter is not something I really love to do (unless I'm reading, of course), so yes it is necessary. If I don't pull an all nighter I won't get sleepy for another 1-2 hours (leaving me going to bed around 2:30-3:30) and by the time I get into a nice, deep sleep...it will be late in the morning. And I won't want to roll out of bed until noon. And between noon and 2:00 (when I go to work) that leaves me little time to do anything. At all. And there goes my day and the next day will follow the same pattern...and there would go my week. Just saying.

Hello moon. Hello stars. Hello late night blogging. I may be a little sleepy tomorrow but that's okay. And I'll be ready to go to bed around 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. tomorrow and the rest of my week will be right on schedule.

I saw this the other night and made Ken watch it. Why? Because I say about 75% of these things. Especially, "Hey, Ken? Will you do me a favor?"
