Arrival.

Somewhere over the Gulf of Mexico.
I'm home.

I'm jet lagged/ exhausted so bad I feel drunk. I've got a few stories to tell but those will come after I get a few hours of sleep in my own bed.

Update: April 12th, 2010.

Sleeping Sickness.

I slept for twelve hours on a work night.

I needed the sleep or at least my body told me that when I was falling asleep at my desk last night. I think it was a mixture of allergies and a few unintentional late nights.

So when I woke up this morning all I can think of is how I wasted my evening last night by going to bed at 7:15pm. I didn't eat supper, I didn't read, I didn't write, and I didn't get some much needed cleaning done. I did start laundry but forgot to put half the load in the dryer (but that is why I have in suite laundry).

So tonight will I play catch up on all the things I missed or will my body tell me to call it quits early again?

Pillow Talk

I hate getting new pillows. I really do.

The other day I noticed my pillows smelled a little and had blood stains from the phantom nose bleed a few weeks ago. It wasn't my pillow cases or sheets because I was those weekly (yes ladies a guy who likes clean sheets).

So I put on my big boy pants and called my mom. We went to the department store so I could buy new pillows at a reasonable price.

Four pillows for $20! How could I go wrong?

Well they are big and fluffy which is the complete opposite of what I've been sleeping on for the last 6 months to year. My pillows are beaten to the right firmness and thickness (that's what she said) thinner than a phonebook and just as firm as a phonebook.

The problem is now I can't sleep on these big soft pillows. They are like sleeping on a cloud and I like sleeping on a park bench. So I grabbed my old pillows (not in the trash yet) and put all but one back on my bed. I kept one of the big soft pillows on there as well. When I get used to that one I'll swap out another old one and so on until they are all new pillows.

Hopefully I won't have this problem for another 6 months to a year.

Can you feel it?



I've been meaning to write for the last week, but alas I haven't.

I've done some last minute travelling for work, slept, dog sat, big breakfast, met up with Rowan for the first time in since we were backpacking, slept, watched Jaws 3, more work, laundry, dishes, and made my bed.

There are a few things I've been meaning to write about but every time I started to write them I lost my motivation, and deleted them.

I'm working on a few things right now that you should hear about in the next couple days. I'm also hoping to get some sleep.

Between sleep and awake.

Today I woke up this morning at 6am stumbled to the bathroom and performed the morning ritual. This little song and dance includes me taking a piss, washing my hands, then washing my face, and brushing my teeth. I then wander back across the hall to my room to get dressed.

I sit down on my bed and put on my socks. I get one on that I remember possibly halfway through the next one and then I'm down for the count till 7:30am. When I wake up I realize I'm still not dressed . I'm just in my boxers with one sock on and the other half on, but I smell coffee. This is unusual because generally I don't make coffee when I wake up I usually get it at the bakery on my way to work.

So here I am with a pot of coffee, a half hour till I have to be at work, not dressed, and no cream. Did I make the coffee? I don't remember.

I pound back a cup of mystery coffee, step in a puddle of water, change my socks, get dressed, and head for work.

I love Saturdays.
