I know it's world sleep day but I don't wanna. After sleep comes waking up and going to work and I am really not ready for that.
tomorrow is day of the book smugglers in lithuania
🤣
This interests me. ( these people are heroes )
Opposing imperial Russian authorities' efforts to replace the traditional Latin orthography with Cyrillic, and transporting printed matter from as far away as the United States to do so, the book smugglers became a symbol of Lithuanians' resistance to Russification.
Book smuggler Jurgis Bielinis, who created a secret distribution network for banned Lithuanian books, was born on 16 March 1846, and this date is commemorated in Lithuania as the Day of the Book Smugglers (Knygnešio diena).[5]

I'm trying not to remember to set my alarm. I do like my job, and have a reasonable day in terms of clients and colleagues but I don't want the alarm.....
