Not gonna make it without caffeine.

Well, why didn't you just go to bed, if you're that tired? you may ask.

Well, lots of reasons. One of them would be the fact that there was still tons of laundry on the bed.

And most nights I don't go to bed until I'm so tired that I'll fall asleep almost instantly. Can't risk too much time lying awake and alone.

This is Saturday Night, a chronicle of loneliness.
