If I Were God. . .
Dec. 11th, 2003 05:49 am. . . I would make reading a book as restful and rejuvenating as the equivalent time spent sleeping.
My bedtime needs to be 9:30pm if I'm going to function well the next day. I was up past that working on my paper (due tomorrow) and then stayed up until 11pm gobbling my way through Lake in the Clouds.
I was in denial, of course, about the impact it would have the next morning (it's such a good book!) -- and now, here I am more than a bit fuzzy in the brain, facing a full day ahead at work, the office Christmas party (we're going on a 2-hour cruise), dinner with my daughter and father after work, the usual bedtime stuff at home with my daughter, and then finishing the paper tonight (I hope).
The paper is due by midnight on Friday night, but Friday night is the daughter's Christmas pageant, followed by family dessert to celebrate that event and my birthday (Sunday the 14th), so I doubt I'll want to do be doing more than the last sweep and polish after we get home from that.
Saturday is housecleaning and then buying and putting up the Christmas tree!
And if I could only read half the night and have it count as sleep, everything would be even nicer!
