Bedtime

There are two things that I do before I go to bed that I hate.

     1. Crawling under my desk to turn off the surge protector.

     2. Putting my laptop on the shelf.

I am not sure why I am not a fan of those things. They are uncomplicated. And insignificant. And who cares if I don't crawl under my desk to turn off the surge protector. And who cares if I don't put my laptop on the shelf.

But when I start getting ready for bed, I usually halt the getting-ready-for-bed thing when I realize that it is time to crawl under my desk to turn off the surge protector and to put my laptop on the shelf. 

So I twiddle my thumbs for a while. I stare at the ceiling for a while. I write a blog post. I write a blog post that ends up in my drafts. 

And then I look over at my desk.

And then I end up getting to bed a lot later than when I originally planned.
