Every night, I have to get up and let the dogs out - sometimes, like Tuesday night, I have to let them out twice. This is one of Missy's quirks and I have learned to live with it.
Most nights, I wake up somewhere between midnight and 2 AM (you'd think at that point she could wait until 3), let them out, go back to bed and doze off until Prince barks, wake back up and let them in, go up and let Tory in thru the slider (if he didn't come in earlier), go back to bed, pet Tory for a couple of minutes and fall back asleep.
Last night was no different, except the falling back asleep bit. I lay awake for almost an hour. During that time, I thought of all kinds of witty (or not so witty, but at least interesting) things to post about.
Do you think I could remember a darn one of them?
Do you not keep your iPAQ employed at night? If not, it probably thinks that you don't love it--giving it 6-7 hours off out of every 24. The iPAQ at my bedside allows me to input an "appointment" for the morning or whenever--to remind me to do what I would otherwise forget. [Last night I input an appointment for 11:30, this morning, to remind me to grab some lunch for one of the instructors who will be instructing until 12:30. The "lunch bar" for volunteers closes at Noon, you see. The "lunch bar" stocks sandwiches--cold or microwavable--condiments, various chip snack packs, cooky pack, iced tee, and if we're lucky, baby carrots so that volunteers don't have to run out for lunch.]

First I would have to get up and get my glasses from the bathroom then go into the den to get my Ipaq. At that point, I might as well turn on the computer. If I get that awake, where I could actually type something into the Ipaq, I will never get back to sleep either.

That is why my iPAQ is on the night stand. I would not get out of bed to make notes/appointments; but, reaching over to the night stand is no big deal. Besides, I use the braille system when I must arise during the night--so that the lights don't waken me more than is necessary.
