I’m fairly certain that I’m still tired from 3 days ago. However, for some inexplicable reason, I awoke at 3:45am today–and couldn’t go back to sleep. Perhaps it was the ABBA song that wouldn’t leave my brain (even in my dreaming state) or perhaps it was just the adrenaline from the week kicking up. Or I could just be a freak. Take your pick, but here are things you can do at 3:45am if you find yourself awake after only 3.75 hours of sleep and unable to return to a slumbery bliss.
- Email business partners in response to questions.
- Email family with recipes for low-cal Thanksgiving side dishes.
- Text several of your friends about how Dancing Queen is stuck in your head. Include lyrics.
- Meticulously groom your eyebrows. Tweezers and tiny, sharp scissors near your eyes when you’ve had minimal sleep is quite intelligent.
- Look up forwarded “Stores Closing in 2009 OMG PANIC HOLIDAY RETURNS” email on Snopes.com. Feel good about self for not blindly believing.
- Blog about eccentric habits.
- Email coworkers regarding things you forgot to tell them.
- Realize in course of creating list of things to do, that you forgot to send an email to coworkers about something else you forgot to tell them.
- Check for new lolcats.
- Ponder the greatness of lolcats and puns. Punny lolcats may be the best ever.
- Ponder when holiday lolcats will make their debut.
- Feed cats early so they stop destroying things. Do they do all this shit when I’m sleeping and I just never know?
- Expertly curl eyelashes.
- Weigh yourself and rejoice in fact that you have maintained 2 pounds of your sickness weightloss.
- Obsessively check all social networking sites for signs of other awake people.
- Post Status on Facebook letting people know just how early you woke up. Secretly hope that your coworkers see this and comment.
- Also secretly hope people are impressed by your industriousness and awed by your early rising.
- Long for a chocolate filled croissant.
- Countdown the minutes until Starbucks opens. (11 minutes!)
- Actually put on makeup.
- Wonder how long it will take before you use the excuse, “well I got up at 3:45am.”
I feel more sympathy for your early rising than awe. And then there were the 5 or more text messages to check when I finally woke up at 6. And yeah, when WILL the holiday lolcats make their debut? And does Brian bother to check your blog anymore and comment? Brian, you out there? Do you care about us Kansas Citians anymore now that you’re engaged? WE MISS YOU!
Ha!!!! I love number 11!!!!! That’s my fav. I didn’t get any emails about the great new lolcats you found. Why didn’t I get any emails about the great new lolcats you found?
Sorry. I just woke up
