It's just a few minutes after 10 pm, but I'm going to head on to bed a bit early tonight. I have that 3 a.m. alarm to look forward to with hubby going back out of town again tomorrow.
I've been warned to not bring my laptop into the bedroom or bed so I'll just turn my little reading light on and finish my book. I'm reading one of the Lawrence Sander's books in the McNally series. I only have a few more chapters to go, so will knock it out tonight.
I'm already a bit drowsy so hoping I can get some reading in and finish up the book. I don't remember when I have gone to bed this early in the last few weeks.
Sweet dreams MyLotters.

i'm hopin' ya were able to find slumber quickly. 5 hours 'f slumber'd not be sufficient to be healthy. they say 'tis not good to use these electronic gadgets 't least'n hour prior to goin' to bed. so, glad'n a tad tickled that takin' yer laptop to bed 'tis a huge taboo.

@crazyhorseladycx Nope, I have to have the real deal there. A book with a cover and pages and pages in between.

My sleep schedule is already all messed up for this weekend. We flew in to Chicago late last night and had to be at the paintball tournament super early this morning for the first game of the day. After battling it out all day, we got done around 4:00pm and I went back to the hotel and crashed and burned. I was planning on taking a power nap, but ended up sleeping for about 2 hours. Now I'm going to be wired for half the night, which sucks because we have early morning games again tomorrow.

@kareng We were all exhausted! We didn’t do so well on Sunday, and ended up finishing 7th overall.

I always liked that expression. Hanging it up for....
Is it a sports metaphor (hanging up the cleats for the last time)
or a phone operator metaphor my shift is over hanging up the phone now.

Oh! 10 PM is my time to hit bed everyday except for weekends. It seems you go late to bed.
