Happy New Year, by the way
I may be officially too old to party. My current level of exhaustion defies all valiant attempts to describe it. I need AT LEAST seven hours of sleep - preferably in one unbroken piece - to start feeling remotely human again. So I will be going to bed soon...
Predictably enough, I stayed up too late on the 30th, having another giddy text message exchange with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
burnadette_dpdl (in case of any doubts, I'm not trying to shift the blame; I was the one who started it, and I was the one who clearly couldn't stop)... so I already felt crappy from lack of sleep BEFORE I even went out to celebrate New Year's Eve (I did try to take a nap after work yesterday, but that didn't quite happen; my ability to fall asleep seems to depend on a variety of factors, including total darkness and lack of noise... as well as the knowledge that I have at least a few hours before I need to be awake again). I probably should have skipped the whole thing... but I had told my sister that I was going to show up, and so I went. Then I should have left right after midnight, but I was too tired to peel myself off the couch... so, in the end, it was almost 3 a.m. by the time I went to bed. Only to be awakened around 4:30 a.m. by some jerkface shoveling snow outside.:/ Yeah, at 4:30 AM on New Year's Day. God have mercy. I did go back to sleep eventually, but it was just a series of brief naps, rather than real, restorative sleep. So I've been laying around/trying to take more naps for most of the day...
I am SO not ready to resume the regular workday routine tomorrow. I need another week or so to recover. It's hardcore winter out there, I just want to hibernate, not to be traipsing around ankle-deep in snow.:/ Let alone dealing with any work-related stress. Why can't we have a normal holiday break like most people do in Europe? What is the POINT of anyone coming to the office anytime between December 24th & 31st? It's not like there's anything going on...
Anyway... enough whinging. And since I am clearly incapable of anything else, I'll just shut up and hit the pillows. *yaaaaaaawn*

This is so unusual this year - the Christmas break lasts for over 2 weeks. o_o

According to my cousin P. (who lives in the Chicago Metro area), there was some major snow coming down yesterday afternoon and more was predicted. If so, I hope that your work decided to cancel.
Stay warm and take care!

Haha. Are you kidding? It takes more than a typical Chicago blizzard to close MY office down. *sarcastic smirk*
So yeah, I had to drag my sorry ass in this morning. But the snow kept coming and coming, so they decided to close at noon.:P
