Utter Nonsense Unworthy of Being Read

in accordance with my own parameters, I like to post here once a week as my own personal 'use it or lose it' boot camp.  I only posted twice this past month, and while I'm quick to forgive myself (because it's not like anyone really cares about this blog other than me), I'm still annoyed about it for it's place in the web of other tasks I didn't manage to complete in a timely fashion recently.  I have four drafts that I've been working on for varying amounts of time, according to their relative emotional difficulty to get out on the page, and my own laziness/busyness.  so in the interest of 'getting something out there', I'm going to whip up a list of:

"Things I Think About While Awake at 3am"

1. why am I awake at 3am?
2. should I go to bed, or will I just lie there with my eyes open, staring at the ceiling, thinking about everything I could be doing instead?
3. how long will the logs in the woodstove burn?
4. what music should I listen to?
5. what is there to eat?
6. can I just keep snacking on candy all night/morning?
7. there are dishes in the sink that need doing.
8. there is laundry that needs doing.

20. will I ever love again?

29. why are all the people who contact me on dating websites sub-par (for me)?
30. does that mean I'm sub-par?
31. how do I up my game?
