It has started to get cold in New York City, and I find myself to be very, very sleepy. *yawns*
Now, this may be surprising to no one, considering that fact that I am indeed a bear, but I had hoped that being a stuffed bear would prevent this from happening. I find myself pondering whether I am actually getting tired do to my bear-like nature, or if in fact it is merely the power of suggestion in knowing that as a bear, I should be hibernating this winter away.
I am uncertain which of these it is. There are a lot of countervailing arguments to be made (do you like my use of the word countervailing? I just learned it today!) on either side. For example, despite the fact that I am a stuffed bear, I find myself getting very, very hungry as of late, and my appetite for honey and other sweets has really gone through the roof. This would indicate that my inner bear is trying to fatten up for the winter. However, as a counterargument, my fur is not growing at the all, suggesting that my body sees no need to insulate me for hibernation (beyond my natural stuffing).
Podar says that it does not really matter as to whether it is my bear aspect dominating by citified self - instead, he says that it is simply because it is darker earlier in the evening, and that anyone, be it human, bear, or dog, who looks out the window is going to feel sleepy earlier. He says that, plus the fact that it is cold outside, is more likely the reason that I am yawning and very, very tired.
I am uncertain as to the answer, and to sleepy to ponder it more right now. Nap time for this lovable blue bear!
