Sleep is for Sissies

My name is Tash and I am a serial sleep-dodger.

Most of the time it's genuine insomnia. Other times it's because I have so many little things to do and so little clue as to when to call it a day, and I just end up keeping on going. And occasionally, for no reason at all, I just seem to zone out and suddenly it's 3am and I have to get up in three hours for work.

Most of the time though it's because there is just far too much to do. Even as I'm writing this I'm pausing and thinking, "Oh yeah, I need to reply to X about this, and confirm with Y about that, and plan on my travel route for Z". This seemingly short blog post will probably take about an hour to write because I'm constantly doing All The Things in one go.

Even after that sentence I disappeared to a new tab because I remembered I needed to reply to a good friend currently travelling in Nepal, and then straight after that I found out that someone from the Geek Girls London meetup group had messaged me two months ago about spotting me at a K-Pop dance class, but I hadn't picked up on it because the notification system was playing up- so I picked that up too.

It has now officially been a full hour since I started writing this blog, at 11:45pm. Still so much to make sure I get done before bedtime...

Happy Birthday Wacky World! (And Tashcakes!)

I can believe that I've had this blog for a year. What I can't believe is that I've actually more or less lived up to my claim that something happens to me every week! Well, here I am, and still going strong, and now you have a good idea of just how strong a weirdness magnet I am.

I even baked a birthday cake to celebrate:

Well I kind of had to, since my other blog is a baking blog. Baking blog birthday without a birthday cake? Madness, I tell you!

Anyway, if you follow Tashcakes! you'll know my slight obsession with colourful food. So...

Boom.

Feel free to head on down to Tashcakes! for a few more shots of the cake. In the meantime, I'll appease those of you expecting a weekly funny story by giving you my slightly delirious Facebook status, posted at about 1am this morning while baking this cake and not sleeping (for the third night running):

'Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue: I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow cake. =D (Shut up I know it doesn't rhyme.)'

What a lot of my Facebook friends may not realise (but probably won't be surprised to hear) is that I was actually singing this song out loud. Over and over again.

 Happy birthday, The Wacky World of a Weird Girl! Here's to another year of weirdness.
