I have not been able to wake up all day, so I figure I might as well just go to bed now. Maybe I'll manage to wake up then.

G'Night all!

Went to bed early (10 pm) in hopes of being able to get enough sleep to attend a Networking breakfast with taxlady. Its intended to let local business people learn about each other and potentially spark oportunities. I am using them to help me learn something about networking, which I am very, very bad at.

Anyway, I just woke up with a very unpleasant feeling in my gut. Not sure what's going on, but some part of my GI tract is not happy with me. Maybe its the sudden switch to very low carb, but I dunno, it never bothered me before. I think I'm going to get me a small (low-carb) snack and see if it helps.

I HAD been hoping for another 3 hours sleep, but that is beginning to look unlikely...

I woken up a bit earlier than I had planned, due to the sound of ice pellets hitting the window pane in the bedroom with a loud rattling noise. I had planned to try and sleep in till 8:00 am (for 10 hours sleep total) but it was not to be. So now I am awake, and I go in search of coffee.

I turned into a pumpkin hours ago, so why am I still awake? Just stupid, I guess -- after all, I'm a pumpkin...

Ever since I woke up I've been trying to prop my eyes open and overcome this enormous feeling of lethargy. Now that its bedtime (actually its waaay past bedtime) I find that I'm not sleepy. I still feel braindead and unable to function, but my body doesn't seem to want to sleep...

Hey, I just realized that my SO recently got a refill on some herbal sleeping pills that seemed to do the trick for me before. I think I'm going to go and try them and see what happens.

G'night all.

Its too hot to sleep. Never mind that I have a humongous air conditioner and I'm actually supposed to stay up all night tonight working on the TorCon website. Truth is the enemy of the interesting.

Ahem. Its too hot to sleep, so taxlady and I went for a ride in the car, and stopped to pick up donuts. So, now that I'm back at home I'm feeling just a bit more relaxed and refreshed, and I'm munching on a chocolate donut.

Oorgh. So it turns out that it was more than the work of a moment to write up what I wanted in sufficient detail that _sps_ will be able to figure it out tomorrow. As a result I am still awake some 4 hours after my brain first started to warn of imminent failure. Anyway, I can go sleep now, so I will. Night all.

Am I awake yet?

Sleep is good but I think I slept too much. I even had this plan that involved a leisurely breakfast at a nice restaurant and a casual stroll to do some shopping and banking and stuff. Now I look at the time and its all gone pants. I'll have to replan everything now.

It all reminds me of a favorite Warner brothers cartoon that starts with two very fat mice sitting on a pile of cheese in a cheese factory:

Mouse 1: "Do you want some cheese?"
Mouse 2: "No, no, no more, please."
Mouse 1: "Do you think you will ever want cheese again?"
Mouse 2: "I can't imagine it."
Mouse 1: "In an average lifetime, a mouse eats about 1/2 pound of cheese. I figure that last night we lived 2000 years."
Mouse 2: "Thats IT then, there's no reason to go on."
Mouse 1: "Lets find a cat and get him to eat us."
Mouse 2: "Right".

Of course the attempts by the mice to get eaten by the cat drives the cat to paranoia. He finally realizes he will never be able to eat another mouse, and so tries to get the dog to kill him...
