The 'Damn it's 4am and I can't sleep' thread

[Annie]

Perzactly that. It's 4:36am in the UK and I can't sleep. I've been counting sheep for hours, now drinking tea and watching two cats get totally confused by this human invading their space at such an hour. Four thirty six and sleepless is a lonely place to be.

Hi Annie! That's never fun. Glad you thought to post here. :)

You would't have happened to receive any mail from me yet? I sent one your way after I received your address

Lol. It is almost 12 here, staying up late because we have guests. I don't know if one of our dogs will ever stop her sentinel bark, so I might never get sleep either. :)

Hi Carl, nope, nothing here. The only mail I've had in the last couple of weeks has been small ebay purchases and a lot of bills. Funny how the post office never manages to make those get lost.

I got mail today !!!

Hi Annie... it's only 12 midnight here so you have friends to chat with at least!

[Annie]

Well it was either post here or read some more of a not very enthralling book. The counting sheep thing is pointless when there are no sheep and only two demented cats.

It's nearly 5am here. Still can't sleep and hardly seems worth trying since I should be up and working in an hour or so.

[cwent2]

Dang, I cant't remember the date but I put it through the post meter and delivered it to to post office.......

Well hope it shows up.

[cwent2]

[earthdawn]

@Earthdawn I got mail today !!!, from me? could ya read it?

Sorry to highjack your thread a little Annie but it adds to your reading ;)

Me too. A proper letter would be good. Haven't had one of those in ages.

Aww, that's sweet of you but the way things are going, I doubt it would show up. Mail to me seems to disappear into a black hole before it reaches my letterbox. It really is very odd because my postie here is a nice lad who is thoughtful about leaving packages secured in my little greenhouse.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.yb

I like your warning Annie

[Annie]

Here's a pic of the 5am sky in my little corner of the planet. The bonus of being awake so early. I knew there had to be one...

red in the morning sailors take warning?

[Annie]

red in the morning sailors take warning?

So the saying goes. It was raining when I got up at 0h four something or other but it's stopped now and the sky is beginning to clear. It's warm - according to the gismo in my kitchen it's 22 degrees.

[Annie]

Thanks all for keeping me company in the small hours. I will shuffle off and do some work. :)

[I like mango pudding]

I usually dream about my next pen or ink purchase, and which ones I should get first. Then there's a raging battle inside my head because I can't make up my mind. Then I clear my mind and start it all over again. When this happens, I too get to sleep around 4 am.

btw, I'm GMT- 7 right now.

[Mesu]

Hmm... looks like i am not alone. I am a night owl and often up until 2am.

But that's the time fellow geeks in other timezones are awake and active. So have plenty of company :)

[velo]

When it's the weekend I sleep like a baby. Any work night and I struggle to fall and stay asleep. Sometimes I use those sound apps like Naturespace and Ambiance.

I do love the quiet of late night though. So peaceful.

[Annie]

I like the idea of sound apps, thanks for the suggestion. What I hate is that internal conversation of 'Damn, I've got to be up in 3 hours and I'm going to be wrecked.' No matter. Another night is soon to begin and I'll hope for better. Somehow though I suspect I'll be back here around sparrows fart tomorrow. Sleep well all.

[stevekolt]

Forget the tea...Single Malt Scotch! ;)

[Moxoftritonytes]

On the rocks!

[Annie]

Today has been another (too) early start. I wish I could use a single malt as an aid to sleep. Unfortunately, spirits of any kind and me do not mix. I tend to giggle a lot, talk rubbish (more than usual) and when I do fall asleep, I have weird dreams and wake with a headache the size of Italy. There must be a better way...

Ditto. Finding the 'off' button is proving difficult.:cry:

[cwent2]

Hate it when that happens -- saw you had a pleasant London pen meet?

[cwent2]

I think I have mentioned it but I love that signature phrase - and Viscous little Penguins had me rolling on the floor - well maybe not that extream but laughing none the less.

The pen meet was fun. At one point, I looked at the table and did the maths of the values ... thousands of pounds. I got to play with pens I could only dream about owning. I've never wanted a MB...until I saw Rui's. I think it was then I started dribbling which must have been off putting to those who were eating.

Glad it made you smile.

[RuiFromUK]

LOL Annie. You forgot to mention the glass nib pen! :p

[RuiFromUK]

Hi Annie (again), I just noticed that you mentioned single malts. Remind me to talk to you about them and my trip next month to the land of Scottish blessed water.

[Annie]

LOL Annie. You forgot to mention the glass nib pen! :p

Yes!!! If you find another, do please snap it up for me.

Oh, it sounds interesting and worthy of a hangover. I hope there's another recipe involved.

[cwent2]

Yes, and thank you

Nice, and i like the blue one - nice color.

OMG! This is so me. From "Damn it's 4am and I can't sleep and I don't want to" I came to " Damn it's 4am and I can't sleep and I don't know how to. Guys, what my dreams are about - it's nuts now! I once was so perplexed of trying to analyze my dreams, arrange them and interpret , that I got mad. While surfing the internet, it happened to me to read fairly comprehensible information from a good specialist when I came to article about a teeth falling out dream (https://dreams-meaning.com/blog/Teeth-falling-in-a-dream). The best one,yet. Amanda is a real life-changer for me.
