So because I was woken up after sleeping only 3 hours to pick up a fallen Christmas tree, my body has entered that state where I don't feel tired even though I haven't gotten nearly enough sleep.

Kind of annoying, honestly, because my sleep schedule was actually kinda regular for once until this...

You know, when my dad woke me up to tell me the tree fell over

He was so panicked that I literally thought he was going to tell me the house was on fire

Don't wake a person up in a panic if all you need them to do is hold a Christmas tree while you adjust the stand

pine needles everywhere

Central Avenue said:

Indeed. It's like an entire Christmas's worth of needles on the floor at once.

Tachyon said:

And you'll still be feeling them under the soles of your feet by next Thanksgiving.

Today is Tomorrow said:

No.


Pine Needles Are Forever.

Tachyon said:

But is that due to their being replenished every year, or is it the case that they stick around and gradually accumulate?  Given a sufficient length of time, will you be left with a floor covering that consists entirely of pine needles?

Central Avenue said:

In theory, maybe, but in practice it would likely turn into a floor covering made of ashes and caution tape.
