Thanksgiving Week

[dlgood]

Damn, I'm really tired. I never get enough sleep, and usually it catches up with me in November and May. This year is no exception. On top of that, I've been having extra-insomnia going. Sunday night, I just gave up and stayed awake long enough to just go into work early. The net result is that, instead of producing the sort of work my bosses and customers look at and say "wow, that's good!" -- this week I'm producing the sort of work where people say "I guess that'll do."

So, anybody in the DC Area want to go to the Maryland vs. Wake Forest football game? I have season tickets with the parents and siblings -- when the parents returned from vacation in Pascagoula, mom had pneumonia, so her seat is up for grabs...

Also, this Saturday night will be my Ten-year High School reunion. Given my own particular brand of post-graduation notoriety, I'm really kind of looking forward to this. By most standards, given the sort of expectations I'd built up in the hometown -- I'd actually clock in as a bit of a disappointment if not for my TeeVee fame. Or at least, by my own standards.

Also, for those who've done the reunion thing... I'm not wearing a tie. The question is, Sportcoat or No?

I'm thinking jacket too. As per usual, I'll probably wind up calling my sister and going with whatever she recommends. It's a habit...

I have a hard time relaxing enough to fall asleep.

For me, I think I just have a hyper-active brain. I know I should sleep, and I do feel tired. But I'm always distracting myself with stuff to watch or read, when I should sleep... And then I get not enough sleep and am unproductive when awake, requiring me to stay up longer to do the things I've fallen behind on. Or fit in the amusements I have put off.

'tis a vicious cycle, and I no longer have the built in breaks of the academic calendar to bail me out...

Definite yes to the jacket. You can always take it off, but I suspect it will be a sportcoat affair.

Dave, do we need to have a talk about sleep hygeine here? I'm sure I can stage an intervention.

I may be beyond help. I've had terrible sleeping habits going back as far as at least when I was 12, getting ready for my Bar-Mitzvah.
