All reved up and no place to go

And there I sit, on the coutch, waiting for sleep to finally make its nightcall. Woke up before 7 this morning, and I do not want to make a full clock round.

Already past 2 at night over here. The way I feel reminded me of a songtitle performed by Meatloaf. Written and composed by Jim Steinmann, from the album 'Bat out of hell'. Some great titles that album has.

Jim Steinmann did record the album himself too, but the Meatlof version brought in the cash and fame. Ellen Foley sang on 'You took the words right out off my mouth (Hot summer night), but on stage and in the famous video clip it was not her. Forgot who, but hey it is almost half past three in the night here.

Well guess I'm in by 3, hopefully able to close the hatches by then. Some easter monday family thing today. Time to start counting sheep I guess...

Zzzzzzz

NOTE: It was pointed out to me that Jim Steinmann did not record Bat Out Of Hell himself. The album contained songs from his musical. The lyrics I reffered to in the title are not about what I was about that night. It's a kind of a love song, hope I summerized it good enough. And the singer is Karla DeVito and I have no idea if she is related to the Danny DeVito. Invited the master of information to this platform, he is also a writer, in English, so maybe he can be temped... :-)

EDIT: added a note.

I'm the same 2am and still waiting to fall asleep

Hope you managed to get some sleep. I managed a couple of hours worth. :-)

Yeah around 5am now up and shattered :(

Luckily a lot of distraction here. Coffee could help ;-)

I'm on the coffee too :)

I hope you've finally gotten to see the back of your eyelids! It's just getting on 12:40 and this may be the first time in a long time that I'm going to bed before 2 am. Maybe? Sweet dreams.

Thank you, I finally did for a few hours. And now coffee. :-) Did you make it before 2?

I did! About 1 am-ish...and thanks to my dogs I'm up at 5:30. O_o
Do I try to go back to sleep or get coffee? Hmm... Or I could get coffee now and nap later.

Coffee helps. :-) We just had family brunch. After meal syndrom, jaiks. We're going for a stroll.
