what were you doing during that time?

Like 36 hours, on the one and only all-nighter I've ever pulled. Was up playing Xbox with some mates. Went offline at about 3 AM. It was raining pretty heavily outside, complete with some thunder and lightning. I pulled up my blinds so I could get a video of it for Instagram. Blinds are now stuck and I can't lower them. I can't sleep with the blinds open. Spend a good hour futilely attempting to get the blinds unstuck. Eventually give up and watch some Youtube videos, as well as google how to fix stuck blinds. Find out the only way to fix stuck blinds is to take them down off the wall to get at the mechanism inside. Get so frustrated I finally say to Hell with it and go downstairs to grab a screwdriver to take my blinds down. I take the blinds down, fix them, and put them back up. It's about 5 AM. I'm ready to sleep, but the adrenaline from the physical exertion from taking down and putting up the blinds has me pumped up. Light is starting to spill into the room at this point. I decide just to stay up. And the rest is history.
