Why aren't I asleep?

I started feeling dead tired around 9:00 pm. I feel even moreso now. But, somehow, I just can seem to stay still long enough to sleep. I'm far too restless. What's worse is that this is the third or fourth day in a row when this has happened.

Since folks were asking earlier, I should point out that taxlady has posted some photos of our stay in denmark. They can be found here and here.

Sleep? Bah!

So, my sleep patterns are once again so screwed up that I am going to make an effort to rotate my hours around and see if that helps. I didn't fall asleep last 'night' until nearly 8 am this morning, and just now woke up.

So, this time I'll try doing that deliberately. Staying up way past noon tomorrow if I can and then sleeping as long as I can manage. I HAD wanted to try to get together with some friends for coffee this week sometime, since I've been missing you folks, but until I've rotated my hours it will be difficult to predict when I will be awake enough to do that...

Mouse Capades.

With all of the various fixings of computers and such going on around here. (Which is not entirely done, as we need to buy a DSL modem to replace the loaner from my ISP, and ship back the loaner), the fact that my main computer finally got a new mouse went unreported.

I can finally move the mouse to the right and actually expect the mouse pointer to follow. This makes it much easier to use the computer. On the other hand, the mouse wheel and button take much less force on this mouse than the last one, and I find I am often over-clicking -- hitting two mouse buttons when I only was trying for one. I expect that habit will correct itself within a week though.

I Want.

I want it, and I even have a birthday coming up, but somehow I don't think its in the cards for me to get the Ultimate Star Trek Collection.

Silly, but I want one!

Since my birthday is coming, I'll post another item that would tickle me pink: An Evil Tiki Thumb Drive!

( Picture! )

Seriously though, I would love a thumb drive, even if it was 'only' 32 MB. And one that fit in my pocket would be far more practical, even if not so high on the coolness scale.
