Sleep denied

I've been awake since 5:30 am, when I sorta started awake for no good reason, and I haven't been able to go back to sleep since. I thought about blogging about it, then of course, I was like, duh, getting proper sleep until the alarm rings at 7:15 am is definitely a better idea --- but sleep would not come. I don't know if it's remainder adrenaline from yesterday's 8 am - 9:30 pm marathon at work, or if my brain is subliminally excited because it's Xmas Eve (even though we have no real Xmas-y plans except for a party tonight), or if it's the teh tarik* I had with my 10 pm dinner last night.

Regardless, I'm up, I'm on the Internet and I'm just glad today's an official half-day at work so I can take what will surely be a much-needed nap come afternoon.

*Teh tarik: Tea with frothy condensed milk, kinda like a cappucino version of a tea, only it's much cheaper and is made by the graceful arcing of milk from one large mug held outstretched arm-high to another held correspondingly around waist-level, rather than the efficient and circuit-driven bubbling of a cappucino machine steamer.
