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

[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.

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.

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

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.

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...

Again!!??? Groan I only have that issue when I have too much information floating about in my head......

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

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

[cwent2]

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

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.

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

[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.
