I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm a "mornings are for coffee and contemplation" type if I can't sleep in. I kind of wish I could get into a morning exercise routine though.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I have been trying to get up before ltc to drink tea and read. It's hard for me, but it makes me a better mother.

For me, the difference in the morning isn't much. Just an hour or two more of sleep makes me a functioning, happy human being. Work had a delayed start until 10 one day last week, because of snow, and I stayed in bed until 8:30, and I was a much more alert person all day.

On the weekends, I often get up at 7, or whenever the cat insists, stay up for an hour or so, and if I'm tired, go back to bed for a few more hours.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I showed that to my husband last week, and he somehow didn't understand the relevance to his own life.

I can't even.

Not a morning person at all here, but can fake it under duress (like, my entire 9-5 working career). My brain isn't much use before 10am and will whirl away happily past midnight. Sorry employer, I've tried to tell you that that first hour should go on the other end of the day.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

All this talk about sleep, I have to say I had a GREAT night's sleep last night at the hotel. And woke up with my first alarm.

I'm a master at hitting the snooze on my phone, even if I put it somewhere that makes me get out of bed. Somehow I can get up, stumble to my phone, turn off the alarm, and stumble back to bed without waking up.

The Fitbit is saying I slept 2 1/2 hours last night. I kept getting awoken by terrible charley horses.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Sorry employer, I've tried to tell you that that first hour should go on the other end of the day.

This is me. For years when our President was a very rules-oriented Morning Person I had to drag in at 9am and work basically got nothing productive out of me for the first hour of the day. Now I typically make it into the office 30-40 minutes later but stay after 6 and get tons more done in that last hour.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My sister's cat has a serious yogurt addiction.

My mother once had a cat that loved the yogurt coating on raisins, but not raisins. So mom would bit off the coating, eat the raisins, and feed the coating to the cat.

But we never overindulged our cats. Nope. Never.
