Lessons Learned

1. Sleeping until 6:30 seems like luxury after getting up at 3:45.

2. Getting up at 3:45 for several mornings in a row leads to the accumulated effects of not getting enough sleep.

3. Lack of sleep stifles creativity.

4. Stifled creativity leads to lists.

5. Lack of sleep also lowers inhibitions which can lead to purchasing $60 worth of lace weight yarn from Knitpicks.

6. $60 yarn purchases can lead to feelings of buyer's remorse. Brief ones. Very brief.

7. $60 worth of lace weight yarn also reminds one of the need to finish the shawl already on the needles.

8. The need to finish the lace weight shawl makes one feel the need to find more podcasts to listen to.

9. The need to find more podcasts reminds the blog author that she intended to do a post reviewing knitting podcasts.

10. Lack of sleep makes the blog author want to go to bed instead of writing podcast reviews.

11. Wanting to go to bed reminds the blog author of the pile of clothes on said bed that need to be folded

12. The pile of unfolded clothes on the bed means that this post is now over because the blog author is going to go fold said clothes and get into the aforementioned bed.

13. Goodnight.

14. Though the blog author is not superstitious, she is writing one more list item so as not to leave the post with 13.

15. Goodnight again.

Ah, the never ending chores! Get some rest; chores will wait.

Put the clothes back in the dryer to "fluff" them, go to bed and worry about them tomorrow. Because you know, clothes that have not been properly fluffed will not fold properly, Improperly folded clothes results in messy drawers. So as you can see, you would be just making more work for yourself by folding them now.

You know, I feel your pain when it comes to the sleep deprivation, but you gotta love the comic relief! :-D

I agree with Amy: clothes MUST be right out of the dryer to fold properly. I hope you took her advice, Becky! ;-)

You will all be happy to know that, though I didn't put the clothes back into the dryer, I did shove them off onto the floor and just went on to bed.

I folded them at 4:30 this morning. There weren't that many anyway.
