Day off!

So, I feel like something of a hypocrite right now. Yesterday, I was practically gushing about waking up early. But then today was the first day in more than two weeks I was able to turn off my alarm clock and sleep in, thanks to our office deciding we should have a four-day weekend. And, what time did I end up getting up? 1:20 p.m.

Granted, I let myself go out last night until last call at a bar with some friends. But it's not like I was passed out; I had water the whole time. (No money for much else.) I think I just needed the sleep, too.
