I'm sensing a trend...

Last night I was going to go to bed early, because allergies are evil. But after thirty minutes or so of cycling a paragraph I'd just read on the 1980s textbooks lawsuits through my head I got back up for juuuust one minute to try and find the books they were referencing one more time. 

A lot of what I'm doing right now involves literature textbooks that were in use from 1973 to the mid 1990s. They're easier to find than I thought they would be, because people will try and make a buck off of anything on the internet and the 70s aren't that long ago, but they're also harder to find than I expected, because the publishers got really funky when they titled their books and the sellers don't follow a set way of listing them, and the 70s were about 40 years ago and who saves textbooks that long? (The books on my desk are from the Adventures in Reading series; it took a considerable amount of looking to figure out that Adventures in Reading is for ninth grade, while Adventures in Appreciation is for tenth, and that the Heritage edition is from 1980 and has different content from the Pegasus edition, which is from 1989. And that the Pegasus edition existed at all, because for some reason almost no one wanted to sell me that edition of the book.)

So I just-one-minuted myself to 1 AM, but I figured out the publisher's material structure and titling scheme, and found the books, and ordered the books, and am now waiting for the books to drop through my mail slot so I can find out if I really did figure out the titling scheme or if they were all mislisted. 

Which is exactly what happened the last time I had a breakthrough and found Adventures in Reading.

All of my massive leaps of progress happen at 1 AM.

Why do I even try and get work done during the day?
