It's Pup's busy time of year. Now that we own our own biz and I'm involved a bit I'll be working more in a few weeks or so (I'm there at the office a few days a week during the day), but right now Pup is the talent and works longer hours. He loves what he does and frankly doesn't mind having to work long hours during the dark and cold winter. He always says he has the best job ever. All summer long with an easier schedule and time to relax and have fun.
But right now he's very busy. Meetings with clients, pre-work, doing the groundwork for future weeks of work.
So I'm a bit of a winter-widow.
Which doesn't bother me at all! Occasionally I'll head out to hang out, but mostly I'm home doing this or that. Taking a bath. Laundry.
My favorite thing to do around 8 or 8:30 is head upstairs to our loft with a cup of sleepy tea, putz around doing things up there, put on my jammies, get ready for bed, then hop in it with magazines, a book (that I might read for five minutes), and a few episodes of Hot Bench or Bewitched (still!).
Pup gets home around 8:30 so he comes and hangs out for a few and then heads down to The Big Room to relax for a bit.
By 9 or 9:30 I'm sleepy. During the winter months I have a hard time staying awake by 9 or so. It's been dark for hours by this point and cozy is all I want to be.
What an exciting time I'm having! Heh!
What a rambling post here.
Oh yeah . . . sleeping with the television . . . not good. Pup comes to bed probably around 11 or so and turns the damn thing off for us luckily.
We do live in an interesting part of the country. As I've said, it's very very dark around this time of the year, yet in the summer months it's light outside until nearly 10:00 p.m! Those months it is very difficult to get to bed! Who wants to go to bed when it is light outside still!
This is why we are all so
How you sleepin'?

I don't even have a TV in the bedroom. Hubby gets his best sleep trying to watch something on TV, in his recliner, in the sunroom. He sleeps lousy in the bedroom.
Some nights I fall right to sleep without any prompting (e.g., books, magazines), other nights reading is my go-to to distract my mind from wandering here and there when I need it to shut down.
I so seldom watch TV, and when I do, it's usually a documentary and I'm too intrigued to fall asleep. Wow. Am I boring or WHAT.
(YAWN)
Ms A - I have a friend that just told me her husband does the same thing! That does not sound comfortable to me.
tPretty - I do believe you are the farthest from boring I've known!
