We usually go to bed late and wake up… later. But occasionally a wrench is thrown into our heteroclitic sleeping patterns.

For instance, today: the office wanted to do an AM inspection of the place, and for that to work we’d need to preempt that with an even-earlier smuggling of our three kitties — before the office opened (we live directly across from them). But, we couldn’t leave too early because we didn’t want to inconvenience “Aunt Lisa and Uncle Jared”. So we waited until both of them were out of their house before our kitties went dark and waited for the heat to give up the chase.

Situations like these don’t cause problems for other people, but again we have odd hours. Candice sensibly suggested going to bed early and waking up early and going about it that way but I knew it wouldn’t work for me. We’ll go to bed at 5am and I’ll lay there until 6am or 7am or 8am sometimes. For an early-t0-bed and early-to-rise deviation to work, I’d have to be zonked by, say, 2am — if I want to be up and happy for 7am or 8am.

I decided it’d be easier for me to stay up through the night. I do that “now and then” and it’s never too much of a challenge, nor was it this time. I didn’t wake up particularly rested yesterday, but I got through today without any problems or naps.

We dropped the cats off, had our inspection, went to the post office, picked the cats back up, and then returned home. After, I kept busy with my workout, Facebook, and finishing off Prince of Persia. Speaking of PoP, I thought maybe I had overdosed a bit to beat it so soon after I started playing, but according to one of my achievements I beat the game in “under 12 hours”. I found that odd since I thought I had dillied. And dallied. But maybe it was just one or the other.

Anyway, here’s to a short night of dinner (pizza!) and bed.
