Can't Really Watch The NFL Today, But Who Cares, I Got A Full Night Of Sleep!

Didn't think I would sleep so long today, but I woke up a bit past 1 in the afternoon, which blows my mind.  I think I went to bed between 3 and 4 in the morning, so I got at least nine and possibly ten hours of sleep.  And it was glorious, man, I hadn't felt so energized when I woke up in a long, long time.

Now, that threw off everything I wanted to do today.  I was able to go out to get my car washed, get gas for it, get Mega Millions tickets for Father, and cash in on free fries at McDonald's before my points expire at the end of the month/year.  But as I was walking in to Mickey D's, I could see the sun going down.  Less than 90 minutes after I wake up, the sun's going down -- can't believe it.  The Winter Solstice was yesterday/Saturday, but we will still have a lot of meteorological dark days for a while.

I forgot, however, to grab supplies for the spaghetti I plan on making Christmas.  I might as well drive the minivan to get the outside washed, and my sister just asked me to get her Mega Millions, too.  I would be bummed to have to do all of this because of football.  But besides the Vikings Game that started in Seattle at 3:05, there was Rams-Jets at noon (the only Game on in that window here in the Twin Cities this Sunday) and, alongside Vikings-Seahawks, Bills-Patriots at 3:25.  Not a great slate of NFL Games.  Plus, I woke up at 1, so I kind of slept through a full Day of pro football.

Should go out soon.  Oh yeah -- I plan on visiting a speakeasy tonight.  I like it there, and I want to go there one more time before Christmas to wish them Happy Holidays.
