It’s 3:17 and I’m up because Sweetie has to leave for work by 4am because his boss is a madman.
I made him his thermos (full pot of regular coffee) and his morning cuppa+3travel mugs worth of coffee (Gnarly Boy). The dogs are insanely hyper because they went to bed with him at 9am and they seem to think it’s breakfast time.
It’s 69° {_snerk_} and muggy in the house. Blech.
I’m waiting on my ok to go back to bed. If he deems himself coherent to drive, I get to sleep. If not, I get to drive. Le sigh, the work of a fiancee is never done.
GET UP YOU LAZY MUMPERS!!!(5 ! - the sure sign of an insane mind :D)

Ewwwwwwwww. I just felt something crawling on my leg. It was a tick!!! I’ve never had a tick on me before. Luckily I caught it before it clamped down. Now I get to do a 3am doggie tick check. Yeah me.

I’ve been up for hours.
I’m also considering whether to kill my mother and my sister in law but, as you can guess by my posting about it, I probably won’t. Posting about it would make it premeditation, which adds years, and I’m told there is no intert00bz in prison…

I’m awake for the moment. Bad sleeping habits.

I am up, I’ve been at work for 1.5hrs so that means I’ve been out of bed for nearly 4hrs. Go, me.
I’m only working two days this week though, off to Hungary on Wednesday for a week of fun, beer and lard.

I recently held a graveyard shift job, it was only temporary and now my sleep schedule is all screwed up. I’ll be awake for a good while.

Morning all. I woke up at 5.30am this morning thanks to hubby’s alarm, then when I tried to get back to sleep I had a horrible nightmare so I ended up just getting up. 😕
I’ve been having far too many nightmares lately, I wish they’d stop. I never had them as a kid!

G’mornin! I don’t poke my head into the MMP’s very often, they’re not always up before I go to bed, and by the time I check the Dope after I’m up, it’s not morning any more and I feel lame posting that late for the MMP! It’s about an hour past my bedtime, but I had a nap earlier and so not that sleepy - but going soon.
Just had to peek in, and wow, that’s a lot of coffee. And ew, ticks. How 'bout they make frontline for people?

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis \ 69 \ Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 83 and possibly rain. Looks like it rained maybe a good bit overnight. Outside is all wet.
Thanks for startin’ us off **shortdrum**. Hope you got to go back to sleep after the \ tick check.
Good luck to **soapy** boy on his AP Physics exam! Rock that exam!
**DragonTat** (knickname in progress) never be afraid to just jump in to a MMP. It’s all about everything and nuttin’ at the same time.
Now I shall seek more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence.
Happy Monday Y’all!

But the MMP goes on all week, and it’s always morning somewhere.

… and universe-wide, it’s probably always Monday somewhere! 😃
I awoke with \*\*FCD \*\*and tried to fall back to sleep, obviously with no luck. He’s at work, and I’m thinking about donning some clothing so I can run to WaWa for a breakfast sammich, but I’ll probably just have some cereal. meh.
I was actually going to come in here and get us started, so instead, I’ll claim next Monday tentatively, assuming I’m here. There’s still talk of a long-ass drive to Rochester with my sweetie - it’s almost 8 hours from here. We shall see.
Happy Monday! I want a muffin!!!

Ok, I feel stupid- my sister just reminded me (on FB) that it’s my anniversary today. :smack:
I remembered yesterday, I would have remembered later, but as we got the kids ready this morning I COMPLETELY FORGOT.
_Mea culpa._
Happy anniversary, honey!

**Happy Soapyversary!!!**
My daughter emailed me yesterday since her apt is in an iffy cell coverage zone - she’s taking me out for Mother’s Day whenever I’d like to go. I told her we could go one of the evenings when her dad was out of town. She suggested margaritas! 😃

How timely; I woke up (for the third or fourth time) at 4:00 am, went to the bathroom and then lay in bed until it was evident that I wasn’t going back to sleep.
I’m trying a CPAP machine and having mixed results: they started me on a nose mask, which is a problem because I have chronically congested sinuses that nothing seems to help; but I spent a week trying humidifier settings, compresses, massage, etc- and when I _could_ breath through my nose, I felt a lot more rested in the morning. After a week of getting three three-hour naps a night I got a full-face mask. Now I mouth breathe all night and feel like crap again in the morning. I would shove two tubes up my nose every night if it would only keep my nose open.
