My virtue is restored

mrsbrownI have a major work deadline.
I left work last night determined to have a nap and then do some work. Instead I hit the couch and avoided work AND sleeping. I finally went to bed at 11ish, for the third night in a row. I'm at the overtired state I used to get as a child, when my father would put me to bed at 7pm and leave me to scream for an hour before I finally fell asleep from exhaustion. I guess, as a grownup, I can avoid the hour of screaming and just get some naps in this weekend.
Lucky for me I have an overdeveloped sense of responsibility and the thought of telling someone else that they had come into work on a Saturday FOR NOTHING woke me at 2am, and 3 am and 4.30 am, when I finally just got up and worked. I have now worked for 3.5 hours and it's only 8.30am.
I'll go into work soon and do another 3 hours or so, and then I might be finished. Having done nearly a whole day's work, but having another whole day in which to work on some sewing - or sleep.
I haven't worked like this since year 12. When I would regularly give up on the homework due tomorrow and go to bed at 11, only to wake at 4am or 5am and get stuck into it. The house is quiet, nobody's watching tv, or asking me to talk to them and I can sit and be comfy in my pj's while I just get on with it.
I don't want to do it again soon though.
PS I lied about people asking me to talk to them. I think I let the cat out and in again about5 10 times between 7 and 8am.
