so who's up for the day and who hasn't gone to bed yet

:shrug:

:hi:

what time is it there, may I ask :hi:

and I am listening to NPR (WHYY) from Philadelphia (on-line), because that is where my eldest daughter is attending med-school...keeps me in touch with her side of the country... :D

Have a fantastic day, Rising Phoenix... :hi:

Damn...

It is only 2:43 AM here. Now I'm watching my download of Real Time with Bill Maher.

still dark, but I am up, up Up! Did you have fun at the bar?

My friend just got back from film school in Canada. So I went out with him. The dude was wasted and is sleeping on the cushions we have the dogs sleep on. I didn't tell him that was the dog bed. It will be a funny story in the morning.

So I will stay up all night until the morning rolls around. That's all fine and dandy until your 82-year -old Grandmother starts pounding on the door with two shaves and a haircut...two bits..and you have to drag yourself out of bed to deal with whatever she needs you to do, It's Ok if you pretend that you don't hear her! She's got a key!!! She will get you out of bed to move her garbage outside and her recyclables. After that is all done,I must come in and talk to my Grandfather about asshole bush is for 30 minutes. It's worse when my Grandfather watches the news debate shows on Sunday morning..it angers up the blood!!

sleep

Yes, on my day off, on a day that I could sleep in. Having my first cuppa, and checking out the Lounge.

sorry you didn't sleep in, but nice to have you around at this early hour :hi:

here on a Saturday morning. It's nice to see others around.

I rarely sleep in. More accustomed to taking a power nap later on in the day!

I think everyone else just went to bed..... I haven't slept past 4 in a month....damn mania.....hehe

Once you get into a weird one, they are hard to break.

my whole life I've had trouble falling asleep.....now I can't stay asleep, but I pass out the second my head hits the pillow....its gotten so I have to go to bed at 7 pm to get a decent nights sleep. If I stay up later, I still wake up before the crack of dawn.....:wtf:

I keep really odd sleeping patterns and Melatonin knocks me out. 50 pills is about 7 bucks.

was taking that when I was about 13, never worked for me..... I"m on the hard stuff now, to no avail....

My cats decided my feet are wonderful cat toys (pounce, scratch, bite...) I just LOVE my kitties sometimes.....SATURDAY guys..No workie workie for Mommie....!!!:banghead:

now it's back to bed for me...

:donut:

Killin' time 'til the whistle blows.

And I need some coffee!
