Today is Wednesday. Today is Wednesday. Today is Wednesday. I keep telling that to myself … it’s just not sinking in.<\/p>\n

I didn’t have a great night. Well, I did, my morning wasn’t so great therefore. I used to be a regular old night owl. I had my fourth baby when I was 40 and blam! I instantly lost my “every night I’m awake for ever” night owl features. I still have the “I’m not a morning” thing, “I’m online in the evening” mentally, but I get tired easier, and can usually actually sleep. I mean, I need to sleep, I get SLEEP now. I still don’t really like it. I used to have way less sleep and lived on it fine. I get 6 hours now and feel like @#$%# I didn’t get enough. I HAVE to consistently get 7\/8\/9 hours of sleep. When I get woken up too early I can usually get back to sleep again, but sometimes no, and that perpetuates the other thing, getting up too early every day because of it. It becomes a regular thing. Since I’m not a morning person I don’t MIND those early mornings, if my baby isn’t up. He’s almost 5 (Yikes!) and he is oft time asleep until 7:00 to 8:30 … so if I’m up at 6, OK, 5:30, really? 4:45, oh please NO!<\/p>\n

Last week it was like that, way to early woken by something, but got back to sleep. A couple of Four-something wakenings … with the 6 and earlier flirtation losing out to Wide Awake Three days in a row on less than 6 hours of sleep.<\/p>\n

We have Netflix streaming via PS3 (finally signed-up for it in March 2012) and I was watching The Event with my two oldest children. We had three episodes to watch, and all this past weekend I kept telling them, “No, not tonight, I’m too tired” as I hadn’t had much sleep of late.<\/p>\n

So then yesterday I got to “sleep in” a bit since my hubby left early for the airport, so there was no one making noise. I didn’t want to really watch last night, but I did and we saw the horrible NBC end of a great series. Now they know what I BITCHED about when NBC did that!<\/p>\n

I kept falling asleep during the three episodes last night, and other nights we watched two or three I did that too. It’s late, usually I’m in bed asleep by then. So last night I decided to get my PS Vita and actually sign in to Netflix and see how well it worked. It’s really good, except for if you “pause” something … besides that though, it’s pretty good.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t just “sign in” though. I had to change my password because I couldn’t figure out for the life of me what I’d set it up as. I used my phone to change the password, but I should have gotten up and gone to my computer, that would have “woken” me up more, and I wasn’t in for the game. I wanted to go to sleep. So changing the password got me more “awake” than I thought. I started scrolling through all the different Netflix things, and finally started looking at Jericho<\/a>. Oh no, another short lived series. I remember it, I never did watch it, it had an odd name, wasn’t “descriptive enough” for me at the time, so I filed it under “ignore”. End of story.<\/p>\n

Until last night, that is. I looked at the description for the show there on Netflix and said, “Why not” figuring I’d see if it was worth pursuing later, that I’d fall asleep and … ah, no, couldn’t be more wrong.<\/p>\n

I watched episode 1, then 2, then 3, then, 4, then 5, then 6 holy cow! Now I did drift off during that EMP episode, so I’ll re-watch it. I might let my eldest watch this with me, so start over. Hook, line, sinker …stinking Netflix made it TOO EASY!<\/p>\n

It that show that is always talked about, in the way the shows that I like are talked about, how it’s so awesome and it’s canceled and petitioned to be brought back and maybe a movie … or\u00a0 not …\u00a0 it’s the show that proves out fan based petitioning and all that stuff really works. Sort of.<\/p>\n

So it was 5:30am when episode 6 was done. OMG (not my style to write that, but it just fits, so there it is.)<\/p>\n

I turned music on (my Philips Android speaker dock) and eventually got less than 3 hours of sleep.<\/p>\n

I feel pretty good right now, considering, but that’s just now. One cup of coffee down. Another one in a minute. I bet I’ll be taking a nap by late morning, or dragging myself comatose to bed in the afternoon. Better earlier than later.<\/p>\n

This is the kind of thing that teaches me to sleep during the day, and get some late night stuff in, but it backfires on me and my regular “need to go to sleep” that usually begins around 8pm will get me sleeping earlier sooner than later in the next few days, and then I’ll be getting up at 4am … not good.<\/p>\n

So. That’s that. I used to sometimes watch UMD movies on my PSP in bed. Killer, can’t find a good spot to put it … but I have a wonderful PS Vita dock for my PS Vita, and THAT was too easy to sit most anywhere and work to view movies. It was too easy, too good, it kept me from getting sleep, it got me hooked to something I’ll never be pleased about … \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
