rip van winkle. there is much talking about sleeping recently. mainly because i stand on the cusp of changing my entire sleeping habits. tonight for example, i head off to bed at ten pm. an hour after i had originally planned. i am not one of those people who can operate on six hours of sleep. i need at least eight. but tomorrow is a six am wake up call followed by actually having to be somewhere alert and bushy footed at eight in the morning. i have laid out my "working" clothes (despite the iron not working) and i have packed my manpurse with all the essentials (candy, cigarettes, cold medicine, cell phone charger). the thing to remember then before i go to bed is: wake the fuck up.
