Up all night to get nothing.

It feels like more often than not I lose sleep due to random spurts of online shopping (well actually I guess the better word would be 'browsing' seeing I have no money to actually purchase anything that I might get my heart set on during these spells). It all usually starts with my being fully prepared to go to bed right after quickly checking up on all of my go to websites and then end with me trying to convince myself that this is the last page before I sign off and, of course, wondering how it got so late.
I've just spent the last two and a half hours in bed going through shops on etsy instead of sleeping. I started out searching for Bakelite jewelry which lead me to my discovery of Lucite that then lead to my discovery Lucite purses and of course, when I find any items that I liked I had to click through to the owner's shopfront and go through what ever other goodies they have for sell; fur coats, 40's shoes, 30's rings, vintage compacts, compact replacements, nylon stockings, night gowns, dressing robes, pill hats, etc.
I've just spent the last 25 minutes going through upcycled cigar box purses until I finally convinced myself to stop clicking 'next page' and now I'm left with this longing to go through more and more I don't feel like I could sleep if I tried but I am exhausted and I have to force myself to sleep... maybe.. the vintage jewelry boxes and hair pins can wait... hopefully......
