Silkie McDonough Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Okay ...7:24 AM. Why, you may ask am I posting here so early in the morning? It is not early but late. I have been at work since 10:00 PM yesterday. So, I hit the wall at about 4:00 AM every day. Why is this? Do you "hit the wall"? When does it become difficult to keep your eyes open and focus?

Red Cat Jenny Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 You're living on borrowed daylight, Miss Ashcombe. When you die I'll see that you are buried sometime between 3 and 4 in the morning and all of the mourners shall wear pajamas. Well it'll be a very long wait Captain...but..to see you all in pj's? I may have to become immortal so I can join the fun! Especially if the WD crew wears footies Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood.

BluePuppy Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Well it appears there are more than a few of us who burn past the midnight oil..well past...Aye the insomniacs unite!To fit the bill - how many of the following apply? 1) Routinely stay up waay past 1? (1..scoff..amatuers) 2)Think nothing of some wildly inappropriate snack at 3 am? 3) Or before creeping into bed.. just before the sky lights up signaling you that you stoically shirked sleep, do you swear "tomorrow night I'll sleep" 4) Does the constant math of .."If I go to bed at 2 I'll get x hours of sleep ..which steadily melts into well, ok now it's a quarter after, so if I go to bed at X instead, I'll get x hours of sleep. Which dissolves into a short nap followed by once again swearing "tomorrow night I'll sleep" 5) Do you you have a uniform of some unmatched comfortable clothes, a fuzzy robe and perhaps matching socks, perhaps not? 6) Do you hear from friends, family "don't you sleep?" "What do you do all night?"Followed by your blank stare, a sly grin and a search for a cup of coffee..let' em guess..... 7) Are you uber familiar with the sounds only heard at night..the fridge which seems to get louder as the minutes go by, the heat coming up, the house settling, cats fighting outside..your increasing yawns.. 8) Feel oddly like kin to those wierd infomercial people? 9) Feel like a bull in a china shop as every step you take to the loo etc sounds like a herd of cattle in the night no matter how hard you try to be quiet? 10) Have strange revelations? "Gee I never realized the toilet paper, fridge door, my computer fan was so loud? 11) Have people you see (you know..those bleary shadows that think nothing of bugging you at say the ungodly hour of 10:30) who ask why your tv is set to closed captioning when your hearing is just fine? Well I'm sure there's more, but I'm too tired. So fess up and sign on.. Now.. If I go to bed now...I'l get x hours of sleep yawn* thud! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz this certainly sounds like me... hahhaa especially number 5... eep. (for anyone who also craves "staying-up-pajamas," walmart has ridiculously lovely terry cloth smocked loungers. i got three different colors =p) i try not to stay online all the time, though, because i'm afraid of getting eye fatigue. but there's not too much else to do, really. good thing is, my pet rat is nocturnal, too =p and nutella's great for that "final stretch pick me up" =p anyway, yes.... consider it Signed.

BluePuppy Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 they're fantastic little animals. i thought i'd like them when i got them but i didnt think they would be as personable as they are. they all learned their names (i had four at one time, winken is the last one. they were winken, blinken, nod and ben, the brothers finkk =p) if they heard me coming in, they'd be at the edge of the cage, poking their noses out to greet me i could leave the cage doors open so they could hang out (literally) or climb out and up the sides, and they'd never leave the cage, it's one of those things about rat nature =p they like to have everything in as close proximity as possible they like riding around on your shoulder, or in your pockets some pirates have their parrots, some have their monkeys, but i've got my bilge rats =p sadly, i may have to say farewell to winken soon as rats are prone to do, he's developed a tumor in his groin, and the vets may or may not be able to remove it, it depends on how big it actually is and how dangerous it would be to take it out. the trouble with vets is that, just because they experiemented on them in vet school, every vet will say "oh yeah i can treat rats." BUT they fail to mention that their rat-based lessons were seldom with the interest of makign the rat BETTER. so alot of them are actually unable to do this. i found that out the hard way.
