Very true, and I think I'm going to start doing that. I still have 6 of the 16 hour crops left to Master and 5 of the 18 hour. If I notice the 16 hour is going to bring me past 11p and the 18 hour will only be sitting there for an hour or two at the most, I may try to mix them up, and if not, then I'll just plant a 3-4-5 hour one that will get me to my waking up time. LOL
Thanks for the tip, I hadn't even thought of doing that. DUH
During the week I'm up anywhere from 5a - 615a now. This AM my 12 year old woke me up at 615a as he was walking out the door to catch the bus. I guess I kept hitting snooze. It didn't help that I didn't get to bed until about 1230a and then he woke me up at 3a because he wasn't feeling well. I think he is catching what my 10 year old has, but at least he was able to go to school today. It's picture day so I told him unless he's dead or dying, he was going. I'm cruel that way. My 10 year old went to school today too, I let him get by with staying home yesterday, but it's just a cold and he needs to suck it up. At least he did say he was feeling a bit better...........
I try to make all crops and/or recipes/clothes be done by 11p, this way if I can go to bed at a half-way decent hour, but on the weekends I normally don't get up until 8a, if I can help it. This throws me off as then if I plant another 16 or 18 hour it comes due at 12a-2a, so I think I'll do Wendy's idea if that becomes the case and just throw a short-term crop down to get me to my next AM wake-up and do a 22 hour if necessary to get me back on track.
