Just a new rule for myself, you understand:

No purchases of long-awaited books on nights before working days. Goes double for e-books.

(Not that there's an immediate threat on that front, given that Changes doesn't seem to be available on Fictionwise - heck, the entire Jim Butcher collection seems to be gone from there.)

(And I don't have the luggage space or weight allowance to bring an entire collection from New York - even if I weren't missing half of them.)

Current Mood: annoyed

The first mistake was buying the e-book. Not that I couldn't afford it; thankfully, I can afford it. No, the problem was that having purchased and downloaded the e-book, sometime near midnight, I was tempted to read it.

At five in the morning, I was done. I figured I'd end up getting no sleep, so I shouldn't even try.

Which is, of course, when I conked out.

My alarms began ringing at six-forty-five AM.

The math is ugly. But not as ugly as the face that greeted me in the mirror this morning.

May end up having to take half a day off of work just to clear the fatigue poisons out of my system. I've felt a cough coming, and sinus problems; my defenses are strained right now.

V minus 16. S minus 96.
