Never blog while seriously sleep-deprived

Just don't. It's stupid, it's silly, it can only end in tears.

So here I go...

I've stumbled onto an idea - no doubt already discovered but insufficiently shared elsewhere - that could save people a great deal of time and money. Sleep deprivation is the way of the future. You gain all that time by not sleeping and save all the money you'd be spending to get really stupid on drugs or alcohol. To save even more time, you have a sort of hang-over WHILE still under the influence! No more wasted time afterwards!

Between six hours of jet lag, non-drowsy allergy medications (ie: caffeine pills) and the Sun being up nearly all of the time in Berlin at this time of year, I've not had a good night's sleep in a week. This morning, I slept in: 5:30am. That's 11:30am in Berlin, so it aint bad. However, I did not get to sleep until midnight (Boston time) last night. I aint catching up.

Now, I am going home early. I will walk my dog after rescuing her from the kennel and try to keep going until we drop. I should NOT drive us anywhere!

Tomorrow is a new day. Somewhere. With luck and the expected TV line-up, I should be in bed by 9:00pm. I'd go for earlier, but I know I'll just wake up at 2:00am or something and start all over! They were thrilled to have me in two hours early today, but that is just a bad habit to get into.
