What should we do in these wee fine hours to entertain ourselves?

I'm amusing myself by repeatedly picking up the laser pointer and watching all of the animals flip out trying to figure out where their little red dot buddy will show up. I'm easily amused.

I slept well, but have now been up for 45 minutes, and first cup of coffee is about gone. I don't move to fast in the morning, so I can go as slowly as I want. Won't leave for the VA until 7:15 AM.

It's almost 6 here. I've been up about 35 minutes but most of that was in the shower and getting dressed.
Need to make dd's lunch and wake the kids up soon. But it's nice and peaceful right now.

It's 7:01 here. Some of the west coast posters I get posting late because they're three hours behind but one seems to never sleep. Wow.

Sorry. I wandered off. (Apparently posting that you are awake in the middle of the night helps one drift off to sleep...until your wayward progeny finally come home at 4:30 a.m.)

Oh my. The only thing that bothers me at 4:30 is the cat and last night I got even with him because if I'm awake he doesn't sleep either. But he can cat nap today.

He slept for an hour, and then after a LOT of effort to wake him up, he just left for the annual MANDATORY Senior Breakfast with the Police.

For two weeks I could not stay AWAKE after 8:30 PM central time, and then I would be up at 3:AM.
This week I am up til 1:00 am and waking up at 6:00 AM.

Shoot. I should have logged on here.
I was up working on a Campbell's Soup Label mailing. Useless fun fact #543: The Campbell's soup label redemption program is going away in about a year.

Where are you all when I'm working nights?!
I'm taking up quilting for the nights I have to put in. I'll quilt and watch movies when we have down time. I also cook and bake, but those are a little more "risky" because if there is an emergency I'd have to shut off the oven and who knows when I'd get to come back to what I'm doing.

I was awake last night and I don't think I even checked the boards. I was reading a good book. told myself to go to sleep - that lasted all of 15 minutes or so, and I opened my book again.
Told myself to get up and get my butt into work as it may well be a short day, and I found ants in my kitchen. So I walked the powdered ant stuff around the perimeter of the house and put out some terro before I left for work (late).
I always get ants in the bathroom in spring, but not usually in the kitchen. I used to put out Terro ant bait in my flower beds but my 2 year old Dog has dug them out and played with them/chewed them up. So I didn't do that this year.

Nope and nope (I'm a contractor so I don't get paid a ton and the insurance - if I had to get it - would literally leave no paycheck).
Possibly. I'm still here, 11 years later.
