whitey on lawn, sleep stoner ? cat naps.
you're exactly right noyd, about 3 hours is all I ever get these days at any one given time; the only exception is when I over medicate by taking my pain pills & sleeping pills together, both @ the proper dosages but just the happy coincidence of having them time up together.......
the other day I fell asleep while sitting in one of my Adirondack chairs, blanket across my lap, my little dachshund in my lap as well, except that my hair is not yet gray I looked just like an old fart. when I nodded off we were out in the sunlight, when I woke up the sun had shifted enough so that we were covered by shade.

lol, yep can picture that. mines about the same , 3hrs and got to get up to piss. better than dead though. bit of grey in there.
So there we were, me & my bro Neill owning/running a small catering business back in 2006 (and before & after) when we get a call from a woman (Gladys) wanting a 'high end hors d'oeuvre party' for 60 people for her mother's 90th birthday @ their lake home. Just for starters she must have really loved the way the phrase 'high end hors d'oeuvre party' rolled off her tongue, she repeated the phrase continually instead of perhaps referring to it as 'the party' once it was established what she wanted. Anyway, her lake home was in one of the most exclusive subdivisions on a well sought after lake, but that would not figure in to how/where we started our pricing for this gig.
Neill & I had no set prices as the wants & needs of each client would always be somewhat different, we were very competitive/affordable because we did about 95% of the work between the two of us, hiring young but experienced server(s) for just the hours of each party itself. We were very well known for our lakeside fish fry's, Neill had been cooking shore lunches for his resort clients for over 30 years, while my own experience was not quite as long but way more intensive than a shore lunch for 15-20 folk at one time, I usually set up to serve hundreds @ the fish fry's that I ran for our local Rotary Intl & Lions clubs that I was a member of.
And so back to Gladys' 'party' on the lake, she wanted 2 hours of appetizer service which translates to, 4 pieces per person per hour, a total of 8 pieces per head, notoriously women will eat less than 8 pieces, but men will eat more, especially where there is no main course to follow; plus soft beverage service (although we will not even supply the cups, mixers, ice, nor the table/table clothes etc or anything else having to do with alcohol service, that is 100% on the party givers shoulders, people can get stupid on free booze) hot and or cold. And so this is 10 years ago but Gladys wanted us to do this for $6.50 per person ~~~ omfg!!! You couldn't buy a McDonald's premium item value meal for that and I told Neill that rather loudly while he was chatting with her.
And while we got a good break buying wholesale, high end appetizers cost about .50 each (so $4p/p), beverage is $1 p/p, transporting all food & equipment (we owned NSF approved carriers & equip, small wares, etc) and hiring help, there was no way fit that cheap ass budget, food/soft beverage costs should come in @ 25% cost (= $20 p/p) but we would have done it for $15-16 p/p. I had one more comment to yell @ Gladys via Neill's call, "Hey Neill, we don't need the practice." And so ended the call and any further contact with Gladys, thank goodness; your mom only sees 90 once, if she sees 100 it's likely to be a cupcake party in the nursing home, and then it's a crap shoot as to whether or not YOU are even alive when mom hits 100
There was no reason for Gladys to go all cheap on this.
