What a weird night/day. I absolultely could NOT get to sleep last night.... damn good thing I didn't have to get up and haul my discombobulated ass to work this morning. And I know I wasn't just lying there dreaming I was awake (which has happened) because I was reading. As in, the last half of one book and the first half of another. I'd think I was sleepy and as soon as my head hit the pillow I'd wake back up again and start thinking-- mostly about Pennsic packing and prep. By the time I realized that I needed to take something to help me sleep, I thought, Well, if I take a pill this late I'll wake up really late. (Ie, 8 hours instead of the more usual 6 hours sleep.) For some reason, the AC unit for the building next door sounded like a jet engine about 5 feet away last night, too. Still does, in fact. It was 4:30 before I finally went to sleep; I woke up at 11:30. I am now so completely off a normal sleep cycle I'll have to take a pill just to get myself back on schedule. I guess that could be handy for wild-ass parties at Pennsic, but then I haven't been so much the party animal the last few years. (It'ts hell getting old!) I've been told I absolutely must attend the Men Without Pants party, though. Heh. What I did on my summer vacation....

Tonight I'm fixing dinner for Daniello, who is coming over to meet my cats since he's cat-sitting for the first week. That means I need to wake up and go grocery shopping SOON. Yikes. And I know there's other shopping I need to do, too. I wish my head didn't feel like cotton wool.
