Reluctant Night Owl

It is impossible.

I cannot sleep.

It's 12:37 in the middle of the night, I'm tired, I didn't have a nap today, and I can't sleep. What is UP with that?

If I thought he would sleep through it, I would bake some muffins, but I am afraid I would wake the Hub Man. I have everything out on the counter ready to make them in the morning. But I would just as soon do it tonight. Might as well. I'm wide awake.
But I think the smell of baking muffins would wake him up don't you?

I refuse to watch TV. It just makes me more agitated than I already am. I could try reading. But I have the distinct feeling that I would end up reading the same sentence over and over and over and wear a grove in the book or something.

So here I am, clacking away in front of the computer that I have turned on and off three times since 9:00 tonight. This is ridiculous.

Anyway. I'm here and I have some pictures for you.

These are the tomatoes I canned today. And yes you are right. All those tomatoes did not fit into those jars. I have a half a quart of them leftover in the refrigerator that I will cook with tomorrow.

And here are some of my peaches. There are more that are growing up higher in the tree. These are the easily reached beauties. I hover over them, like a mother hen at least once a day testing them for ripeness. I think they have a few more days to go. Despite their ruddy good looks, there is a lot of green still under the surface.

I gotta go now. It's 12:51 and I'm awake. What is UP with that?

    Hope you eventually got to sleep. I don't think the smell of muffins would wake my hubby. Maybe you should've just gone ahead and made them. Even if he did wake it would be a lovely thing to wake up to. ;-)

    It would have been a great midnight snack to wake up and discover! Maybe you should try it sometime, it might get you a good cuddle to help you relax enough to fall asleep. :o)

    There was a lot of that going around last night. If I had known you were up, I might have joined you online. Why is it that whenever I have to be up early I can't sleep worth beans? Do your eyes feel like two burnt holes in a blanket? Mine do. Oy

    Stop! Stop! You're making my mouth water, and I only just this minute came downstairs from lunch!

    Did you get some sleep? I know what it is to not be able to, but usually I'm stuck in bed, bored out of my head but afraid getting up with wake RC. I'm glad you could work on the computer.

    Hugs,
    Ani

    PS Thanks for believing my score--I was truly bummed, and am still thinking about starting a new game, though, just to see if I can do it again.

    Not only would it be cute, you just reminded me to go look for that little espresso cup the cupid Coffee Pot Person is going to have sitting on his knee! (And now my mind will be working on ways to use those forks I took out of the silver ware drawer, wondering, ''Where the heck did these come from?'')

    Grins,
