Last night's game was a blast, and our characters were successful, too. However, it ran late, so I got to bed just a tiny smidge before 11, instead of about 10 as I normally do.
That would normally not be enough to make me really tired today, although my general restless sleep lately would also contribute, I admit, and make that result more likely.
But last night we had a HUGE thunder and lightning and hail storm, about 2:30 am. How do I know when? That would be the part where the big book of thunder and the hail POUNDING on our house (it wasn't huge - it was barely more than pea-sized - but it came down in one or two long blasts of a lot of hailstones, very noisy) woke me up and darned near levitated me out of bed. And of course, I had to come downstairs because I wanted to look out on the deck and determine the size of the hail. (I wasn't awake enough to realize that knowing if it was as huge as it sounded to me - answe: no - would not help me in the least. It would warn me whether I might have plants in the morning, but it wouldn't help them any.) Scott didn't manage to sleep through it either.
And I have to be at work at 8 today (I usually try to be in by then but today I have an 8:15 call scheduled), so I didn't dare snooze for as long as I wanted. Speaking of which, back to getting ready because I need to pour out the door in 15-25 minutes to be sure of making that. I'll probably be early, that's the usual result for this sort of thing, but I really do not want to be late.
