How do you feel about getting up in the morning? Do you need an alarm…or four? When my alarm goes off on work days, I sometimes ask God to kill me. I don’t mean it, of course, but that gives you a taste for how much I hate waking up. Thus, I use several alarms….
The alarm sounded, music uploaded onto the clock interrupting their sleep. Honest to God, she’s never going to change that music, he thought. At least “Run to the Hills” accurately reflects the annoyance of waking up this way. I hate when she lets the alarm go on and on, it’s so inconsiderate. Doesn’t she realize…
Probably not the most thrilling content I’ve ever written, but I’m pasting my 2012 goals below: because I said I would, to help with accountability, and to serve as a foundation for what I’ll inevitably write about some of these. As a reward for sticking with a list post in table format, see the end…
I’m still mourning my beach vacation. For some reason mini golf seems very decadent to me, maybe because it’s such a useless activity. You know we had excess leisure time available because we played mini golf not once, but twice. The second time was on this cool (although completely mosquito infested) real grass course. I…
Do you know what today is? It’s my anniversary. Today I celebrate 15 years of employed bliss. As I discussed yesterday, one of the reasons I have stayed where I am so long is a lack of a “big dream” to pursue. I recently saw a suggestion to think about what you would still be…
I’m not in the best frame of mind to write a post, particularly about the sleep experiment. But I’ll start with the positives of week 1: The first two nights, I turned off all screens by 11pm and was in bed before midnight. My average bedtime (12:39am) was about 40 minutes earlier this week than…
Even though I am a night owl and love the evenings and late nights as they stretch out before me, I need sleep more. Since I started getting up earlier a few months ago, I’ve lost focus. I’m scatterbrained (more than usual!) and have difficulty making decisions. A couple of weeks ago, I missed my…
I’m So Tired, I Haven’t Slept A Wink… Staying up too late is the worst thing I do to myself and I apparently have no willpower to stop it, as evidenced by about 20 years of being unable to stop it. Ironically, I love sleep. I just don’t seem to want to do it at…
Coming Out I haven’t explicitly written about not having kids. I’ve been hesitant for two reasons: 1.) I don’t want to alienate anybody. I think some parents get uncomfortable around me once they know I’m purposely childfree (it’s hard to avoid the conversation now that I’m of an age when “do you have kids?” is…
