Pillows are glorious!

So, after the run today we stopped by costco, cause it was on the way home and we needed some things.

Got a few awesome things like sparkling cider, my favorite fancy beverage, coconut water (which I use in smoothies.  I'm an avid smoothiest.), and most importantly, I got a new pillow!!!

Now, for that to make any sense, I need to explain a few things.

I call the way I make my and sleep in my bed, nesting.  I call it that because I have tons of pillows and blankets.

My bed frame is the upper part of a bunk bed, so it has bars around the edges.  This makes it very good for piling pillows around the edges to give the bed a nice nesty shape.  

The reason I nest is because when I was very young, like, 5-6 years old, I witnessed part of a zombie movie, and was thus traumatized forever.

My young, traumatized mind came to the rock solid conclusion that the only way to be safe from zombies at night was to always be covered by something.  Blanket, sheet, pillows, whatever.  I'm not entirely sure why I thought that, but I did.

So I developed the habit of always sleeping with something over me.  

Always.  

And I still do it.  

I feel very, very uncomfortable if I sleep any other way.

Got a little off topic there, forgive my rambling.  

So, my nest is made up of three fuzzy blankets, two big comforters, a sheet, and eight pillows.

Lots.  Some might call it excessive.  They would be crazy.  It's an awesome nest.

Anywho, all of the pillows are hand-me-down's from my parents.  

Whenever their pillows got flat or unfluffy, they'd go to throw them away, and I would very valiantly rescue them.

With permission, of course.  I wouldn't take them from the trash or anything.

So I had a lot of pillows, but I didn't have any good pillows.

Back to the original topic, my new pillow!!!

Yay!

It's so gloriously comfortable.

I'm going to sleep so well tonight.  Hopefully. 

Anywho, done for now.  I'm at my grandparent's, so I should go be social.

Hah.  I think I'll just give in to my exhaustion instead, and try to take a nap on the couch.

Being tired isn't so bad, when you're not tired anymore..

I frequently stay up far too late, and then get up at a (at least semi) normal hour in the morning.  In my experience, that is not conducive to being fully awake and not tired all the time.  But I still do it.  Why?

One of the reasons is because when I'm tired like that, at some point you get to the point where you're so tired that you're no longer tired.  

The point where, if you sit or lie down for even a short moment, it starts getting to you, but as long as you're going..you're not tired.

That's a favorite reason of mine.  Though, not a reasonable one.

Another reason is because it's almost like being drunk.  Not that I really have any experience with that yet, but it's kind of what I imagine as being drunk.  

Lowered inhibitions, laugh at everything, trouble speaking sometimes, unbalanced.  To me, that sounds drunk.

But with me, it's just being tired.  

Anyone else experience that?

Thanks for listening.

Out of body experience...while dish washing?

I just had the weirdest experience.

I was loading the dishwasher, and I sort of crouched to put silver wear in, and when I stood up it was like..

I dunno, almost like one of those dizzy spell headrush things, except my body was still moving to do dishes. 

But it was like I couldn't really feel anything, cause at one point my arm touched the faucet, which was running really hot water, and I didn't feel it at all.  

It was like some sort of out of body experience.  Really, really bizarre feeling.

It was as if I was no longer controlling my body.  It was just on autopilot, and I'd taken a step back to watch.

Might have something to do with me staying up till almost 6...but eh, probably not.

Also, my apologies for not writing more.

...Though I'm not entirely sure who I'm apologizing to..

Myself, maybe?

I'm sorry, self, that I haven't been writing more.

*sniffle* It's fine, I always knew you didn't love this part of yourself anyway.  

Aww, c'mon, self, don't be like that.  I'm writing now, aren't I?

*whipes eyes* I suppose.  It would feel better if you'd actually write more often though...

Eh, what can I say?  Without anyone reading, there's no one to please, so not really much of a point in doing it.

*sobbing* I can tell when I'm not wanted!!

What?! No, come back!

*door slams*

Late night entries...or would that be early morning?

Well, here I am, blogging at 3:30 am.  Aren't you so proud of how much better I'm doing with this whole staying up late thing?

I mean, at least it's not 5:00, like last time...

All joking aside, I have been rather delinquent about getting all the things I need to do done.

I have to decorate the house, inside and out..along with the tree.  That's not decorated yet either..

Then along with that we have to clean the house, because relatives are coming over in a few days.  

And then, on top of that, I'm supposed to be sewing Christmas presents for my family and friends.

And, if that's not enough, I'm also supposed to make a video for my vlog.  

Of course, that last one is just one of the things I want to do, rather than one of the things I need to do...

Meh.  I'm going to bed...tomorrow is going to be a long day of decorating..and cleaning...and sewing..and probably not any video making..

Honestly, I'd be surprised if I even got past decorating...

Life doesn't want me to vlog.

I was supposed to make a video today, but I just couldn't.  

I woke up at like 4:30, about two hours before my alarm.  

Then hung out in bed trying in vain to sleep a bit more before my alarm would go off.

Then I went to sew, which lasted until 1:00, which was when my sister came to pick me up.  

Then we went home, and I had to do dishes because my best friend was coming over to pick me up so we could go hang out.  

And here I am, at 6:45, not going to be home until late, and still no video.  

I am determined though.  December is extremely busy, but on the next semi free day, I will attempt to make a video.

Sorry it's taking so long..
