So I have been up for like 20 hours, I spent all day on my feet, and I am sore and exhausted. But it was wonderful! We went to Universal again, and stayed for the Mardi Gras parade and a little of the B52's concert. The last thing I want to do right now is work on this post, so I thought I'd write about the one thing I want to do more than anything, and something I always quite enjoy... sleep. According to Wikepedia,
Sleep is a naturally recurring state characterized by reduced or lacking consciousness, relatively suspended sensory activity, and inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles. Sleep is a heightened anabolic state, accentuating the growth and rejuvenation of the immune, nervous, skeletal and muscular systems. Effects of sleep deprivation include: irritability, cognitive impairment, memory lapses, impaired moral judgement, impaired immune system, higher risk of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and heart disease, aches, tremors, and growth suppression. Benefits of sleeping include: pretty much the opposite of all of the negative things just mentioned. Sorry... I am quite tired. Tomorrow is Sunday, the day of rest. And that is just what I intend to do. There is nothing like a busy day to make you really appreciate how comforting and amazing it can feel to go to sleep at night. Like I said before, opposition and balance :)
O bed! O bed! delicious bed!
That heaven upon earth to the weary head.
