i hate bedtime
Sure, some nights I cannot wait to hit the pillow. But honestly, most nights I have this child inside of me that whines, "aaaaawwww, do I haaaaaave to?".I feel like having to sleep is just such a bummer. It means I have to stop doing all the productive late night activities that I'm knee deep in (or could be knee deep in if I knew I didn't have to go to bed soon!). I love the late hours of the night. Nobody is bothering me, everything's quiet. It's finally just me, alone in my sweet little home doing whatever I feel like (most of the time, anyway. sometimes i am up late on a deadline, and sometimes bed is a tad more inviting then ;).
Doing things late at night makes me feel like I'm fitting in all this extra productive time. Sneaking it in... cheating the daylight hours... like the more I can squeeze in at night before the whole next day starts all over again, the better. Right now I just wish I could watch a movie. I've already gone to a show, but now that I'm home I just want some chill time. Sometimes I actually try to chill in front of the TV and watch some TiVo, but I find myself literally fighting to keep my eyes open. Just like a little kid... I'm tired, but I refuse to give in! haha
Alas... it's about that time again. The time where in order to be functional at a decent hour tomorrow, I *have* to go to bed. hmph.
My strategy lately has been to sooth myself into the idea of bedtime by taking a hot shower (with only candlelight). OMG I cannot tell you how much I love my late night hot showers. I really, really, really love them and there's hardly a night that goes by I don't think about how incredibly grateful I am to live in a country where I can just take a hot shower whenever I want. It's perfect because I get all warm and sleepy..... and then I'm actually *ready* for bed! :)
Tomorrow's another day!
