Ten Things About Being Tired

I had to wake up reeeaaaal early yesterday. Toward the close of the day I had reaffirmed some observations about being tired, and stayed up an extra 2o minutes to find a pencil that didn't squeak on the page and an empty notebook page to jot them down.

• Hot face washcloths and hot showers do not make up for lost sleep. Still tired, achey, and now lobster colored.
  

• Caffeine does not make up for lost sleep. Just makes you queasy, strung out, and unable to take a nap.

• Moderate amounts of caffeine paired with less moderate quantities of Advil do somewhat better.

• Advil wont prevent you from bursting into tears when you see pansies at Home Depot and think of Pansy.

• I talk... waaaaay too much when I'm tired. I'm sorry mom, if your ears bled from my constant long winded drivel.

• When tired, I sometimes tend to shake when I watch movies or have engaging conversations. I must have been a chihuahua in my past life.

• Regardless of the perfect chance to reset my sleep schedule and go to bed early, I wont.

• I write more and arguably better when its late. (See the talking excessively, there may be a correlation).

• I think I have a problem. A sick addiction to excessively late nights. I can't help myself.

• I'm tired.

Sad to say I went to bed at almost 3am... having woken up at 8am that morning, having gone to bed at 3 the day before, down from 5am. Since I've been writing, after getting of WoW, its become a bit of an issue.
