My sleep schedule has been so wacked lately, this feels almost normal.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Or maybe I'm too much of a morning person with insomnia to understand the persistence of a holiday sleep-in.
Hey, it's perfectly OK to like to be up early!
I can never decide which is more fun: sleeping in and getting up late (including waking up on the regular time, stretcing, smiling to myself for not-needing-to-get-up and going back to sleep), or getting up early and read, make a jigsaw puzzle or the like, long before everybody else wakes up.

Timelies! I'm not going to NJ after all, so I have no plans for today. I'm not even sure what friends are at loose ends (not many, I think) so I may just have to go to a movie by myself.

Catch y'all on the flip side.
...and with that, off to Maine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is precisely normal for me, since it's just a little earlier than I'd have woken up for work.
The funny part is Kristen and Kat sitting at the same table as I am, in their own early-morning Powerbook glows.
But they're gone now, and I'm all alone.
Well, at the table, anyway.

Please explain to the skipping skippppmpper how this happened.
My guess: you are all together someplace for a not-blood-related-family but rather good-friends-family for Thanksgiving. And now I hope that I'm right, because that would be lovely.

You are right, Nilly, and it is lovely. We're on Catalina Island for a few days.
It seems that one person per shared room is a morning person, so we're exiled to the half darkness of the dining room. Sun's rising, though.
Question is, can I take a shower in the other bathroom without messing with Kat's water supply? I probably shouldn't test that.

Wonderful.
Now, of course, I'm jealous. It reminds me of the Saturday afternoon we spent at Allyson's place when I was her guest, and I liked it so very much, I want a second round. I'll even promise not to fall asleep while people are still laughing and talking, right in front of theit faces. [Edit: no, wait, that was Friday evening. No promises, then, just jealousy, for me.]
Is it OK to ask who else is there?
I probably shouldn't test that.
That's the wise and considerate choice.

I always wake up early on holiday, I don't know why.

T-Day is already looking up, I've connected with some good folks who can fit me in around their big table. Plus, there may be Scrabble!!1!
