A Run-on Night


Ever have one of those nights where you toss and turn, and you can't fall asleep, then around 2:30am you finally start to drift off, and then your Golden Retriever decides it would be a grand time to go out in the rain to do her business, and you go outside with her to make sure she doesn't dig up your flower beds in the process of saying "Hi" to the neighbor dog, and in spite of the umbrella you get some big raindrops hitting your body leaving you wide awake, and also chilling your body enough that you decide to stay out of bed for a little bit to make sure you reach something approaching room temperature so that you don't give your loved one thermal shock under the covers, which gives you the opportunity to check out Amazon for last minute gift ideas, and you find an incredible deal on a Roku box with free one day shipping so you go ahead and get one because you know they are really cool and your family will be happy to have one, and since you're here anyway you go ahead and replenish your stock of Tassimo disks for the office because you're hopelessly addicted to coffee, and as you're checking your Amazon confirmation email you realize that a general clean-up of your email inbox is way overdue, and in your email is some spam offering to sell you an authentic "Rolleks" watch, which makes you look at the clock on the wall, and suddenly you realize that even though you are finally getting a little sleepy it's now 4:30am and you can't possibly go to sleep now and expect the alarm to wake you up in time for the very busy day you are expecting at work today, so you hop on to Blogger and tap out a post to elicit not sympathy, but rather some empathy with your situation, only to realize that, most likely, no one will read your post?

Yeah, I just had one of those nights too!

I better go make some coffee!
