Give Us Us Sleep!

When I was in grade school, up until high school and college, all my friends knew not to call me (back when actually calling someone up using LANDLINE was normal) by 9 o' clock. Why, you ask (all 6 of you, my faithful readers)?  Because I'd be asleep by then.

Yes, that's right!  My parents were like military officers, waking me and my brother up (my sister wasn't born yet) by 5 or 5:30 am, and marshaling us off to school so we'd reach there by 6:30 or 7 at the latest.  I didn't even have an alarm clock!  My mom would come into my room, turn on the lights, and by some eerie magic, I'd sit up, get out of bed, and shuffle groggily to the bathroom (eyes closed throughout...can you say TALENT?).

After school, we would go straight to tutor, then back home to finish our assignments.  I would have maybe an hour for phone time with friends or then-boylets (hello to my loving hubby! You're the best!), but as soon as the clock hits 9pm, lights out, peeps!  It was time for bed.

I remember during prom, my friends teased me endlessly that it was way past my bedtime and if I wanted to lay my head down on the table and nap.  As an act of I'll-show-you, I hit the dance floor and showed them all up (or so I think haha).

Even to this day, I don't like staying up late, much less do actual work at night.  I KNOW for certain I won't survive a night-shift job, because I'd be sabaw from 6pm onwards.  I'll put the grave in graveyard shift! Wenk wenk wenk.  

This random rambling is brought to you by my evening call tonight, where this happened:

Someone should ban evening calls! Child (ahem) abuse!

Extra Nuggets, Please:

- I need to replace my tablet's stylus battery since it's been acting up and not working properly (hence, my messier than usual drawing for the last entry).  This drawing, I made on J's Note - kind of makes me want a Samsung phone (congrats to my friend Val for getting herself a new S4!).  Since I'm "draw-squatting" on my husband's phone, I can only churn out one drawing since he might need it to text or check mail.  Not used to posts not being peppered with silly doodles hihi.

- J installed LED light strips in our living room today and I think they're awesome! Such a great thing having a handy man (for free!) :-)

- I made J's breakfast for tomorrow - ham and cheese sandwich. He insisted I put strawberry jam. This is a result of a happy accident.  I made him two sandwiches a couple of days ago: (1) peanut butter and jelly, and (2) ham and cheese.  He ate it like a club! :-D  Well, it's all going in the same place anyway ;-)

- I kind of like this Extra Nuggets thing and might keep at it. Good for my random thoughts!
