Current mood: awake, but not happy about it

Does anyone even read this shit anymore?
Oh fair journal, how I neglect thee. I remember the good old days when updates were made daily, weekly at least, and now? Now you sit untouched for months, wasting away on the web that spans this wide, wide world.

I’m thinking about taking the update-every-day-for-an-entire-month-smack-down-challenge that is all the rage. Starting in February gives me quite the advantage--only 28 days be-otch! (Ah, 28 days... Just long enough to slip into a coma, only to wake up to discover England overrun by killer zombie people.)

The new job is going quite well thus far. Today I learned about deflecting physical attacks and escaping when someone grabs you. Maureen was most impressed when I used my spiffy new moves to free myself from her grip.

My mood has improved dramatically since getting the hell out of my last job, but getting regular sleep is still a struggle. For some reason the Ambien hasn’t been doing its thing anymore either. I stopped using it for over a week to see if my body was building up a tolerance, took it tonight, and nothing. I know the insomnia is stemming from nerves regarding work, as I sleep fine on the weekends (when planning my weekend activities now, the #1 factor in deciding what to do is whatever will maximize the amount of time I can spend asleep). I need to start practicing relaxation techniques more often.

Also, I had a wonderful date with my beautiful wife tonight. I need to kick up my wooing a notch to make sure my lovely lady remains happy. Nothing makes me feel better inside than seeing her smile.

I updated just now, upon your suggestion. Can you feel the power flowing through your fingertips on the keyboard?

I will do my best come 02/01/07, or the Day of __________ as I prefer to call it.

I need to come up with something to fill in the blank.

If anyone tries to bite me, I look forward to trying to use the lip rub technique.

I tried it on Maureen, and it didn't work. She tried it on my, and it didn't work. She pinched my nostrils shut, and that worked extremely well.

I totally read all of yours as well, although I rarely comment as I cannot think of cleaver or witty things to say anymore because my brain is slowly yet surely turning to mush. MUSH!!!!!1111

Honey,

I think part of the problem is that we tend to be doing things right up until bedtime. (That sounds suspiciously naughty upon rereading.)

Maybe if we had a soothing 1/2 hour routine before bed it might help? Something along the lines of hot tea? Shoulder rub?

Our date was really fun. Next time we should go bowling or play DDR. Or, wait...double date! I am sure Jessica and Jennifer would be game!

That is a very good idea!

Do you guys ever go to the Tuesday night 2 for 1 Liberty Hall movies? The Last King of Scotland looks good. Oh wait, I think Ally now works till 8pm on that night. We can figure something out...

You are so naughty being able to fall asleep right away every night. You have been asleep for 1.5 hours already and I have yet to sleep a wink. :(

Don't worry Ali. At least you post more often than once every 25 weeks. You can't beat that record!

I'm sorry the sleep thing is getting to you. I always get restless like that when I have my winter/summer breaks because I sleep too much, relax most of the day, and don't keep a routine. At night,I just sit there in bed, mad at myself for still being awake. But it sounds like you've got some good ideas for relaxation.

Sweet dreams!

Meg
