So tomorrow I don't have anything happening until the early afternoon. That means I can have the sleep in I feel like I needed a week ago. But since I can get so much more sleep than normal, what do we think is going to happen?

  1. I wake up at my usual time and can't get back to sleep
  2. Every single person I've ever met starts trying to call, text, and email me out of absolutely nowhere. That random inquiry I sent to a shop 7 months ago they ignored will finally be responded to
  3. Someone will knock at the door
  4. I can't sleep at all until 30 minutes before I need to wake up
  5. I actually do manage to get a good sleep and finally catch up on my sleep debt

Place your bets now! In 6-12 hours, I'll respond to the winner(s). I don't know what you win yet, I'm fresh out of barnstars from the last comp, but maybe you can have a giant emoji

My money is on number 4 but I hope it's 5 🤞🏻

Being pessimistic - 1 and 3. Five buck saver on 4. Hope it's 5 though.

Item 3 was me a few days ago. Had an order of alcohol turn up at my door - the courier had mixed up the unit and street numbers.

Oh, well at least you got some compensation for it ;)

I didn't accept the delivery lol. My wife and I both drink twice a year, and in small quantities all up.

Ding ding ding (kind of). I woke up 30 minutes later than I have been in the last few weeks. I'm gonna call that option #1

Going for 2 since it hasn't been taken yet.

Thankfully not this time, but I was really tired last week the day after I got back (nerves and all meant I only got 3 hours of sleep) and I dared to take a nap from 11-12. I received a ton of emails, multiple messages, and a couple of phone calls. Nobody said a single thing to me before nap time, and only 1 person actually responded to my response the rest of the day

My bet's on 4, but I'm hoping for 5
