As I may have mentioned before, my wife likes to go to bed at about 10pm. For the most part, I am happy to stay up a bit later.<\/p>\n
Recently, I have been finding that one of the following things happens:<\/p>\n
1. At 10pm, she goes to bed. I’m tired too, so I go to bed as well.
\n2. At 10pm, she goes to bed. I can’t think of anything important that needs doing, so I figure that I might as well get a bit of extra sleep too.
\n3. At 10pm, she goes to bed. I’m not ready to go to bed yet, so I kill a bit of time before going to bed at 11pm. Last night, for instance, I fiddled about with the oven timer and then played Gran Turismo 3 for half an hour.
\n4. At 10pm, she goes to bed. I fancy watching a film, so I do that, and join her at midnight.<\/p>\n
I remember how I used to have all sorts of interesting projects on the go, and would beaver away industriously until midnight or 1am, before finally, reluctantly, retiring to bed. But I don’t seem to have any such project happening right now. Also, whereas once I would happily spod for hours, I no longer gain pleasure from twiddling my e-thumbs. Which is why I find myself at 10pm with no appealing options, other than “get some sleep”.<\/p>\n
I’m old, boring, and curmudgeonly.<\/p>\n
