Good morning Boomers.
It's a new day, a new week, and aren't we happy little campers about that?
I think I had a day off. I'm not sure it was so short.
I'll be up at 3:30am, so my night will be just as short.
I've already taken my sleepy time pills and if they don't work I'll count cows.
If that doesn't work, and it probably won't because we only have two cows, I have a hammer next to my bed.
I tap my sister on the head with it, and that usually makes me feel so blissful that I float right off to sleep.
I bought Hobbit today so I'll probably fall asleep to that really.
I hope you all have a happy day.
