6:30am today.. What a difference two hours makes. Today is what I call "recovery day", tired, but not miserable. If I were to wake up at 7am tomorrow, I'll be in good shape.


At about 7pm last night, with temperatures hovering over 80 degrees, I decided to get scissors, go to the backyard, and cut my very long hair with no mirror.

I rarely get enough sleep because eBay has a requirement that Power Sellers have to ship within one day of the buyer's payment to maintain the Power Seller status, but eBay considers the end of the day to be 12:00 Midnight PACIFIC TIME. For those of us on the east coast, that's 3:00 AM EASTERN TIME. So if someone buys something at 2:00 AM EST, I basically have to ship it out the same day. That means that I usually stay up until at least 3:00 AM EST in case something sells.

However, I usually wake up between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM every morning because USPS won't schedule a specific time for package pickup, so the mailman can get here as early as 9:00 AM, and the packages must be ready to be picked up.

It's exhausting.

How’d that go?

I didn’t use to do that until fairly recently, but then changed jobs to the kind of PR where all action happens in the morning. To be honest, I don’t mind. I don’t sleep much, and there’s something mystical about early morning when the sky is pink and the world is stretching itself awake.

I keep telling myself I’ll sleep in on weekends, but... it’s a habit.

Every single of one my neighbors has at least one dog (and most have kids, too), while I live alone with no living thing in my house.. Maybe I should get a dog whistle.. Do they even work?

6:30am take my kittys out then 7:30am i bring my kittys in then been playing destiny 2 in bed =]

What happens on Saturday, Sunday & Monday?

Is there any way to appeal to eBay based on time zone differences? Seriously, I would write to them about that. It seems inhumane to require something so... arbitrary as defining "same day" one way for everyone.
