Sleep. I love it. I want it. I need it.
It allows me to keep refueling my pixie dust as well as maintain my sanity.
Case studies have proven time & time again that sleep is vital to our physical & mental well being. Without the proper amount, thinking becomes foggy. Your decision making abilities are stunted; not to mention the physical motor skills. It effects everything...
Even a pixie like me can be challenged by lack of sleep. This was proven the night before last.
After a crazy night of computer malfunctions & video editing mishaps, I was about to go to bed until I saw two videos that I was uploading on YouTube were all messed up. So, when I was about to go to bed at 10pm, I knew I had to delete them & start all over again!
If that weren't bad enough, I accidentally deleted another video that I worked hard on & there was no backup. So, it was gone completely.
I was so mad & wanted to Pixie Stomp & throw pixie dust all over the place. Instead, I took a deep breath & proceeded to continue. My thought was "Well, I guess I just won't get any sleep tonight!" It almost seemed like a warrior way of thinking; a self sacrifice for the greater good. I was going to get these videos no matter what.
It sounds dramatic but it was exactly my thought process. When I am determined to do something, my mind is set. I was doing it!
So hours went by as I reedited my videos & started uploading them back on my channel. It doesn't sound like much but both processes can be very time consuming. Believe me, ask any video content creator.
When the last video was finally uploaded and saved, my sore & burning eyes looked at the clock. It read 2:28am & I groaned inwardly.
My alarm was set to wake up at 3:30am to get ready for my off line job at the Hotel. I was not about to call in, either. So, continuing my stubborn streak, I collapsed on the couch instead of my bed. Timmy, my cat, curled up with me & I was out.
Just when sleep never felt so good, the annoying, persistent sound of the alarm went off. I stumbled off the couch, almost tripping over Timmy,who decided stopping in front of me would be an awesome idea. The piercing sound cutting through the air had the same effect as if someone threw a bucket of cold water at me.
Finally, I shut it off & the silent stillness enveloped me. Yes I can do this....
Getting ready for work & doing my morning tasks, a second wind kicked in. I started feeling a little more alert as I guzzled coffee like an obsessed caffeine hoarder.
Work came & went, complete with construction directly behind me & a very bad latte (don't ask).
A bank & Wal-Mart trip later, I made it home & had to wait for my landlord to come by to get my rent payment. So, I checked on my video that was about to be released to the public. It went out smoothly until Twitter almost set me off.
Twitter wouldn't work... 😑
It doesn't sound like a big deal, but it was part of my routine to send out a tweet for my videos on both YouTube & Dtube. Well, this was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I went into our beloved CTP Discord room "all guns ablazing" (as 
At this point, I was barely standing, leaning over like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Any pixie dust I had left was rapidly disappearing. Smoke was coming out of my ears & I realized I needed to leave immediately. They did NOT do anything to deserve my grouchiness!
So, after some joking & canjoling, I bid them adiu to eat & make a mad dive for my bed. Nothing was getting in my way. I even forgot to do my #2020Vision video (bad Pixie).
At this point, the landlord never showed up...😑
When sleep finally found me, it was 12 hours of bliss. An elephant could have gone through my room & I would never have known it.
So, what happened next & what became of the Zapped Pixie? Did she find the magical treasure? Did the evil villian Twitter ever post?
Find out in my next video coming out soon ....
