Night Owl 2003

*sigh* 10pm and I'm just feeling perky and alert. I'd like to stay up a couple hours and get things done, but tomorrow will be a long day - gotta pick up some furniture (the object & history obligations referred to in a cryptic previous post) in the evening, attend a dinner party and hope that it doesn't rain while the stuff waits in the back of True Friend Kristin's truck for us to be done with dinner and head back to San Francisco.

I wish I was better at getting by on little sleep. I like a lot though and I ain't talkin' "I can only get by for so many days with only 5 hours"; I need 8 hours a night or else I need to do a 12 hour binge to recharge.

Plus I'm just not a morning person, so that 7am alarm is brutal - and yes, I know that most people have to get up earlier than that. I think I was happiest when I had my store and worked from 10 or 11am until 8 or 8:30pm. Quite nice.

So, though I'd love to post some of this backlog of interesting things, maybe scan some stuff and start filling in my past*, I guess I better go take a shower and then head to bed.

*sigh* Sometimes I'm my own little kid - "Mum! One more chapter! Pleeeeaaase?" The deal always was if I stayed up too late, I wasn't allowed to be cranky in the morning. Tough love, let me tell ya. :)

*Re: filling in my past
It's my intention to start posting some pre-blog items. Scanned stuff, journal entries, fragments from letters, etc. from my life before October 1998. (And isn't that amazing? My blog will be 5 years old this year).

« Favorite Phrase Today | Main | Travels »

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
