It's 4:18 am... and i sit here, having nearly completed my night shift - a few hours to go before i can hit my pillow and dive into dreamland for a few precious hours of revitalizing snoozing... oh, how i love my bed.. maybe i'm even addicted to it - aaahhh... i seem to love to sleep - as a dear friend of mine loves to rib me about - you know who you are! I'll sleep anywhere - in my bed, on my couch, at my desk, on the floor, you name it... i'd probably even be able to sleep in the midst of a raging hurricane... there are times when i think there's something wrong with me for being able to do that (thyroid problems, slow metabolism - well, to be sure, those might be the case, but maybe i've just inherited all the sleep genes from my parents - stole some from my middle sister probably, much to her chagrin). Funny how math is definitely not my strong subject, but i seem to be quite adept at counting sheep.
Anyhow, enough with the wooly creatures and let's see what else is lurking around the dusty, cobwebby corners of my mind at this crazy hour - hmm, soon i get to bundle up and walk home in a semi-awake state, looking for all the world like a yeti, ready to brave the icy winds and miss all the sidewalk cracks on the way - some days this is very necessary and other days i'm too tired to care - is this a little obsessive or not? Someone please reassure me. Well, at least missing the cracks ensures i have nice long strides and stretch all those poor muscles in my legs. And what a joy to have literature to accompany me - i've just started using the Plug In books from the library - what a handy thing - nice and small to fit in my pocket - and each day i can plow through another few chapters of whatever classic happens to be on my list at the time - currently Gulliver's Travels - interesting to be sure...
It's now time to get up and start doing vitals and bloodwork - yep, it's an awful time to start such endeavours but it must be done - so have a lovely weekend and i'll see you after i've thawed out after my walk... cheers

Thanks for wishing me a lovely weekend :) I'm intrigued by these Plug in books things... sounds perfect for those cold walks.
Yeah, you sure lucked out with the sleep genes - it would have been nice for you to leave some for me but whatever. Who needs sleep anyways?
Hope you're doing well! Hugs!
I share your love of sleep, sister dear. I feel most days when I get up that I am more tired than when I went to bed, and that I could happily sleep for 48 hours straight.
Those plug-in books are pretty sweet. I borrowed one once but never got around to using it, but that idea is great!
I'm currently dragging my way through Wuthering Heights - one of the most horrific books ever written. None of the characters are kind or nice, except for the maid who tells the story, and the tenant to whom she tells it.
Sigh.
How can anybody like this story?
I guess I'll have to see how it ends....
*love you*

Keep plugging away at that Wuthering Heights... it's not a very happy book, very Gothic and dark, but a classic none the less... i listened to it and that seemed to go better...
Off to bed again...
