Okay, now I'm going to start sleeping, I'll wake up to hundreds of unread posts again, I'm sure.

Ah HA! I caught you, Vehve! That is not how we Americans would say that. We say "I'm going to bed now." It actually only means that we are going to start sleeping, though.

Such a horrible fate, banished from the arid California, forced to flee to the tropics...

bring on the mozzies!

If only I started sleeping as soon as I went to bed I wouldn't be so darned tired.

Actually it's middle of the night insomnia that really gets me. Been up every night the past couple nights at 1 am just staring at the ceiling.

Living in two time zones does that for me.

I end up having very broken sleep

I tell you the insomnia was much worse in MST than EST. I was up one night at 11.

My chicken's habits are very entertaining to me. At night I'm always chasing (encouraging?) the same few birds to GO TO BED! NOW! I MEAN IT! And there's others that are on the roost with an hour to spare, happy to be in bed early. The adage is true with them - early to bed, early to rise. I've taught the entire flock to be compliant with going to bed when I start clapping (ducks, too), but these birds continually defy nature on a nightly basis and require me to come out clapping every single night to GO TO BED! NOW! I MEAN IT!

I also have one cornish that no matter what always goes to bed in a cedar tree on the property line. I have to encourage her out of that tree every single night. Except during winter. Then she is more than happy to sleep in the warm coop. I told her tonight that she wasn't cute or sweet and that I should just let her sleep in the darned tree and get eaten by a fisher, but then she flew out of the tree with her psycho squawking and then did a little squat dance for me. I admit it. It was cute. She gets to live another night.

Silly birds.
