Mr Whiskers and Ms. Tabby had served in the Queen's Cats, and knew all about Mr. Brownmouse. They went to the relative security of the parlour, and spoke of the matter in dragon-language, which Mr. Brownmouse had never been able to master. ("Too many sparkles," he'd mutter, when he overheard snippets of it.) Then Mr. Whiskers headed downtown to Catland Yard, and Ms. Tabby and the dragon had a cheerful talk about the merits of bells on toys. They also discussed Mr. brownmouse's rodent mafia connections, which Ms. Tabby was surprised to find that the dragon knew all about. When Mr. Whiskers got home, they compared notes again, and then took a liesurely nap on a pillow in the parlour.

i never get enough rest

i'm up late tonight. Too stressed to sleep. If i knew i'd have time to sleep it off, i'd take something- but i know i won't. I'll be at work tomorrow, even if the snow becomes blizzard. My work doesn't ever close for weather.

Besides, i have to be there for a meeting.

i'm so tired these days. I have a dentist appointment after work, i might cancel that if the snow gets bad. It depends.

Valentine's day. Meh.

Blinder's still sick. He's well enough to be grumpy.

No, that's not why i gave him the nyquil.

what do you think about when you're up late? What keeps you awake at night these days? Do you worry? Do you watch the snow?

  • Work. Life. My mom (at least they finally made it out to fill up her damn propane before this snow storm hit). And a zillion other things. They visit me in the night; they poke me with tiny pitchforks and prod me awake, only to torture me into the wee hours of the morning. Speaking of which, maybe I should get to bed early tonight....
    • The pitchforks are bad enough, its when they start dipping them in lemon juice around 4am when not only do you have worries x, y, and z; but they are all your fault. Everything you're worried about was caused solely by you, will get worse because of you, and cannot ever get better because of your failings. I hate those little fsckers.

      Dawn brings more than the light of a new day, it also casts aside the shadows of doubt, and renews the blooms of Perspective.

  • what do you think about when you're up late? What keeps you awake at night these days? Do you worry? Do you watch the snow?

    The best quote I can come up with right now is from the pilot episode of WKRP in Cincinnati.

    Andy: Got any ideas?
    Johnny: No, I try not to have any ideas. They only lead to complications.

    As for what keeps me awake at night? Work. I get off work at midnight PST. I'm usually asleep by 2:30am or so.

    Worry? Me? Not so much anymore. Life has been damn good lately so there hasn't be
  • What do you think I think about? The same thing that consumes about 23.5 hours of my waking thoughts.

    No, not the divorce; how much I hate murlocs.

  • I stay up too late every once in a while writing in my blog. Doesn't take much of an audience to keep me happy.
  • It seems I spend too much time sleeping...
  • I have been looking to buy a vehicle to replace my Explorer. These last few days I tend to lay in bed wondering why these salesman have to be so annoying. I am seriously close to just walking away from them and find another dealer, and possibly pay a little bit more because they have so seriously annoyed me these last three days. Yes, I am interested in your vehicle, no I don't need it RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE OR THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!!!!

    Sheesh.
    • Yeah, that's something I've found incredibly annoying. Especially when I've already made my mind up to buy it, but I want to ask some questions first.

      Back on topic:
      what do you think about when you're up late? What keeps you awake at night these days? Do you worry? Do you watch the snow?

      The kids are what gets me out of bed, worry about work is what keeps me up. I miss the snow. When I'm up I tend to read and just day dream, or night dream, whatever it is you do without sleeping.
    • Oh, and as for snow. I haven't seen an interesting amount of snow in quite a long time. So, if anyone wants to come by my house, sit on my roof and shave ice cubes in front of my windows, let me know, ill give you my address :)
  • I think it snowed last, oh, bout ten years ago.

    stay safe and stay warm as possible, looks to be nasty up your way.
  • Mostly work. Future jobs, current job. What I should have done differently at work today. What I have to do tomorrow. What am I going to do about xyz.

    When not work, usually about where I live. Why did I buy a condo when I wanted to move back to nyc, etc.

  • Something that needs to be done, but which I have been prevented in some way from completing. Not in the ordinary ran-out-of-time-to-finish-it-today sense, but in the sense that some condition is actively preventing me from doing something necessary or important.

    It's very rare for me to have trouble sleeping, though. Maybe once or twice in the course of a year. Although if I fall asleep somewhere else, and wake up too much on the way to bed, I will often have trouble getting back to sleep again.

    What do I
  • what do you think about when you're up late?

    Usually it's "can she really be THIS hungry? Is she teething? Is it gas?"

    What keeps you awake at night these days?

    My daughter.

    Do you worry?

    Certainly. I worry if I'll be a good dad, if I'll be able to properly teach her to protect herself, since a day will come when I won't be able to protect her. I think so far I'm doing OK, because she likes to give her Dad big, toothless grins and plenty of giggles.

    Do you watch the snow?

  • usually it's whatever project or deadline i'm working on combined with the more general self doubt sort of stuff.
