I usually get 8 hours a night, so I was surprised how functional and happy I was able to remain for those 10 days. But the whole time all I could think about was how much I wanted to just sleep. I never, ever want to do that again, even with a personal maid.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690477015680812905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-77342200959724444072010-11-13T23:30:56.821-05:002010-11-13T23:30:56.821-05:00Definitely sleeping.

If I'm getting the sleep, I'd have the energy to do everything the housekeeper would do. <br /><br />By the way, I'm sure it's a woman thing, but there are way too many pillows on that bed.

But if I switch to Alice and she's doing the things that make it so I can't sleep (I can't go to sleep if I have too many dishes to do, some OCD weirdness...) then I would have time to get 8-9 hours!

That bed you pictured is calling to me in a big way. <br />And like the previous commenter the responsibilities are not that huge of a deal when I am rested.

As long as I am well rested, I typically don't mind doing my own chores around the house. I'm kind of OCD about things like laundry and dishes, so I don't really trust a housekeeper to do those things for me anyway. Not even Alice. Plus an incredibly comfortable bed is sounding really good right about now :)justinnoreply@blogger.com
