What's on My Phone?

I am feeling just like a bear. By 8:00 at night I'm so tired! It gets dark around here starting at 4:30 and by 7:00 my internal clock is begging for bed.

Most nights I hang out with Pup in the office for a while, pretending to do SOMETHING, but really, doing nothing. Not even researching what I have to BUY for the den interests me once my big head starts bobbing and begging for bed.

So, sometimes I go upstairs to the loft between 8:30 and 9:00 to read. Uh huh. READ. That lasts about five minutes.

Spiff.

But then, my eyes spring open at 3:00 or 3:30. Ridiculous! I have an ongoing insomnia problem, but thought I had made a bit of progress.

So, I'm in my office early. Oh yes, it's still dark. The worker-boys show up around 7:30 and it's barely light even then.

What it is!

So . . . a few shots from my phone.
Tried to get a shot of new boots. A fashion blogger I will never be.
A shot of Lorenzo's ornaments I sent her so she'd know I had them. Fascinating!
A missed opportunity. They looked darling literally one second before this shot. I swear.
This is what is causing all the crazyness at the house?? Really?
Inside the den. Whooooooo!
Shot of my lovely new watch my lovely daughters bought me. I had to send the shot to them because I'm annoying.
There is a story behind this shot, but I am under confidentiality restrictions and could get fined if I spill. So I won't

Love the watch... and, oh, yes.... pets NEVER cooperate for a posed photo. They're sort of bratty that way.

pets can be total assholes sometimes. biscuit will be nibbling on a toy for hours on end, looking calm and cute and angel-like, but the minute i get the camera out she turns into a black tornado.

I can't believe you said there's a story and then left us hanging!

I LOVE your boots!

it is a fight you have to win. ten o'clock should be bedtime. Watch what you need and drink. must have quiet and no night lights, clocks , anything that might disrupt the sleep. Shoot for 5:00 am for a wake up time. That will give you 7 hours of sleep and a reasonable wake up time. I run into the same problem as you some time.

By 8 pm, I'm just getting started! Of course, I don't go to bed til 3-3:30 am so I really shouldn't talk.

I LOVE your animals! I can't imagine how much darlinger (that's a word, right?) they could've been just 1 second before.

As for that last shot, you can tell me. ; )

The winter is effecting me hard as well; up to bed reading a little after 8 and then fast asleep. And now today it's dark and rainy, all I want to do is hibernate.
Loving your boots! :-)
