I'm doing my best to get my notification totals down, but you guys are very busy tonight, and I'm sitting here shivering as I try to read all your comments, answer them, and go to your profiles. So I'm heading to bed where I can get warm, and hopefully have a good night's sleep. I know that means I will have double the notifications tomorrow, but that's the way it goes sometimes. I will get to every comment, that much I can promise you. So good night, and I will see you tomorrow. Thanks for reading.

I understand how you feel. I an not cold though my toes are a little cold. I may put on some fuzzy socks. As for the notifications, I have more to go through but I just haven't felt like it. I'd rather interact with others before going back to interact on my own.

When I start to shiver, I'm overtired and time to get to bed.

That is where my mind is today. I have not been here a lot and I am interested in seeing what you guys are up to.

I'm always at that time. I have a lot to do, but ignore it until I can't any longer.

You need to go be comfortable. This is not a job and it is supposed to be fun.

That is the trouble with sites like this, which are open 24*7, they can be addictive.

@just4him I am on EST, so must be an hour ahead of you and am about to go to bed (this is my last reply). I make sure I keep regular hours and not get addicted.

Yes they can. And though I would love to go to bed right now. I need to pick my son up from work in an hour, so not going to bed before 1:30 AM.

I admire people who attend to all their notifications. These days I simply do what I can do.

@just4him going well, but very time consuming. I'm learning so much about non-fiction writing and discovering I'm able to do things like information boxes and such.

I would imagine you have too many to think about. Which you shouldn't. You have a book to take care of. How's it going?

No, not yet. Still working on them. When I left tonight I still had 69 to go, now I have over 80 again. So I'll work on them again until I pick my son up from work in four hours.

I don't think we need to worry about the site being slow any longer.

It's been quite a while since I've been overrun with notifications. But at least I'm warm here :)

You should be warm, it's summer by you.

I was overtired which is why I was shivering. It would be the same if it were summer as well.

Hope you have a warm, cosy sleep. We're sleeping without any coverings as it's so hot.

It's just the opposite here. I have plenty of blankets to keep me warm.

I am sorry you are so cold. Do you not heat your home at night?

I have a programmable thermostat that goes down at midnight. That wasn't the problem. When I start to shiver, I'm overtired. It could be hot in the house and I would be cold.

It's going to be hard this week and next as I am going to be out of the house more than usual. Today I'll be gone this evening for a couple hours, so I'm going to see how much I can catch up before I leave.
