Braaaiinnnsssssss (5:00 am CST)

 I have none.

That second wind I had is fading pretty quickly.  Brett is laying down and sleeping now.  He says he only wants to sleep an hour, but I’m not going to wake him up.  I appreciate him staying up with me all night – I didn’t expect him to because he loves his sleep – but he looked exhausted when he went into the bedroom, so I’m just not going to bother him.

3 hours to go.  I don’t know what makes this ‘thon so much more difficult than the last two.  Maybe it’s because I’m not monitoring.  I don’t feel quite as pressed to make sure I stay awake so that I can cheer my manatees on and be an example and junk.

Or maybe I’m just getting too old for this.

We should do next year’s ‘thon for 24 minutes instead.  That would be -much- easier.
