night cream in the morning

it's 5:00 am as i type and i am not the least bit sleepy. and to think i drank my short-caramel macchiato-nonfat-decaf 7 hours ago...i bet if i didn't have it decaffeinated, i'd be up for the next 12 hours or so.

so i've been thinking, and this isn't really any of those late-night philosophical reflections i might have, whether i should still put on night cream at this hour when i can already hear our househelp preparing breakfast for my mother. yesterday, i was also thinking of this same thing but i put on some night cream anyway, thinking that the whole purpose of these creams was to work their magic as you sleep. i thought, heck, if the whole idea was to let it sit on your face for the whole duration of your sleep, it doesn't matter whether you're an insomniac, as i am, or not. the whole point is to slather your face with it and then sleep. they didn't say beauty sleeps had to be at night.

see, there absolutely wasn't anything philosophical about that.

i guess now i'm just going to lull myself to sleep and wake up in an hour's time to wake my boyfriend up then let him scold me for not sleeping earlier as normal people do and then go back to sleep.

but not before i apply my Burt's Bees Carrot Night Cream.
