@Dreamy  We had to drive home from my partner's brothers place.  We left about 10pm.  They're all the way out at Cudla (near Gawler) and we had to drop her parents off on the way back.  So we got home about 11 and I was still awake so just watching some TV.

I'm never in much of a rush to go to bed these days, unless I'm struggling to stay awake.

It feels like a Saturday though with the public holiday tomorrow.

[Dreamy]

@MJG017 oh that's a bit of a drive but a nice one. I can't sleep so I'm watching Buffy and Angel, was hoping things might have eased thought wise but nope I'm not that lucky. So tonight is me bouncing through the crisis services to make it through the night. 

It really does feel like a Saturday although my days have been messed up for the past week anyway 😂

@Dreamy 

I'm sorry it doesn't seem to be easing up for you tonight.  I hope Casper is sitting with you, even if he is asleep.  When it's cold, Ryker likes to sleep next to me.  I always find it calming to just lightly pet or stroke him while he sleeps there.

@MJG017 Casper is sleeping on my pillow with his nose buried in my neck. 

I'm just exhausted from having to constantly fight myself. I did my usual activities to try and bring some calmness but nothing seemed to help. So reaching out it is. 

Have you got any plans for tomorrow?

@Dreamy 

It must be extra cold tonight... I now have 2 cats sleeping up against me!  I think the see me as a big hot water bottle 😁

Of course, it may be the electric blanket being on as well 😂

No real plans for tomorrow.  Maybe work on my assignment.  There's no real rush though as it's the last on I have to do for the term... so I'm a little bit ahead of schedule.  What about you?  Anything that needs doing tomorrow?  Or later today I should say.

I hope you can get some sleep soon.  You deserve a bit of rest.  Why does it seem so hard for brains to shut down at night sometimes?!

[Dreamy]

@MJG017 Casper left me cos he got too hot 😂.I also have my electric blanket on although I am getting a bit toasty. 

You really are doing so well keeping up with the assignments, I don't know how you do it. I got nothing at all, kind of at the point where i don't make any plans cos who knows what could happen between days. So I'll probably just do my puzzle and listen to music. 

Those brains just like giving us a hard time when things go quiet. Still haven't found that magic off switch 😂

@Dreamy 

Yeah, both cats got a bit too warm and went off for a wander.  I got to sleep, then woke up after about an hour a bit too warm myself only to discover the cats had returned.  I poked my legs out from under the covers to cool off a bit.  Then I quickly got cold but found the the cats had sneakily moved to where my legs were and pretend not to notice I'm trying to move back under the covers!  I think I'm being slowly forced out of my own bed by 2 cats!  Sneaky buggers! 😁

I like to impose my own time limits on my assignments so that I never get behind.  So it does give the flexibility that if I don't feel like working on it for a few days, it doesn't matter because I'm still ahead of where I need to be.  I just really want to get this last one out of the way because then I'm done with assignments for the rest of the term so I can relax until the start of term 3.  Which I think is about 6 or 7 weeks away.  This way I can keep any stress about getting things done to a minimum.  Which is great, because there will be days where I'm just not in the mood to work on them.

Well, I suppose I should go have a chat with the cats and ask for a bit of room to get back under the covers as I'm getting quite cool now.

Nope... they're still pretending to be asleep!  I may have to bring in the big guns and do a fake sneeze!

Ahhh... nice and warm again.

[Dreamy]

@MJG017 those sneaky cats 😂.

You do so well at managing it all and very smart thinking i reckon. I'm great at leaving things to the last minute 😂

Haha the fake sneeze for the win 😂. Casper comes running to check in me if I sneeze.

I still haven't slept and I'm starting to really struggle, is it daylight yet? 

[MJG017]

@Dreamy 

Let me check....

Nope, it's still dark!  Why does night time last for so long?!  It's all dark and cold and there's nothing to do!  People get annoyed if you wake them and ask if they're bored as well! 

[Dreamy]

@MJG017 damn it! 

Night time drags on for too long when you are awake but if you do sleep it's not long enough 😂. Something to do with the space-time continuum maybe 🤔

But if i have to be awake then shouldn't everyone else have to be aswell? It only seems fair i reckon 😂
