Am I just bad at sleeping?

twicketfaceSeriously, I have been not getting a quality sleep in a while. I try really hard to just lie there and be unconscious, but there must be more to it than that. Am I nervous about the wedding and making sure everything is in place? Am I nervous about working with the Convention coming up? Am I nervous about the Noodle Incident? Tough to tell, but it’s gotta be something. Luckily, I got some good books lately from the library so I can read if I’m not sleepy. The Book of Zines was pretty amusing and interesting. I’m going to start a book on my lunch break about the “Overworked American”, how we have made such advances in technology but yet are working more and more hours. Should be interesting.
Had a really nice weekend in Two Rivers. Went to visit Danielle (with Terry leading the way). She’s got a really great apartment and I really felt at home. We had some mediocre food at Applebee’s and then some pretty great brownie sundaes at a local ice cream shoppe (with the extra ‘pe’ for authenticity). After that we played some UNO and visited for a while. Saturday we slept in and had a good breakfast. Lots of fresh fruit and some monkey bread too. We got ready and went to the maritime museum in Manitowoc. It was really interesting and enjoyable. I couldn’t live in a submarine (we took a tour) because I would keep bumping my head. I wonder if the Navy has regulations about height requirements.
Saturday afternoon we went to the beach for a bit and watched some of Wimbledon. Had an earlier supper and hit the road to go back to Oshkosh (Terry stayed until Sunday). Stopped by Eric’s on the way to our place because Jeremy and Kristie were visiting from out of town. Was nice to see them, and will see Jeremy again in two weeks for the bachelor party. Should be a lot of fun.
Sunday was a ‘blah’ day with not much going on for either of us. Felt good to have no agenda and not have to rush around. Watched some TV, did some reading, smitted/smote some evil on Diablo II and generally laid around. Wish I was a bit more ambitious, but I just wasn’t. But hey, sometimes that’s okay. I need to update my website and add some links to my stuff. Didn’t really think that some of my stuff could be viewed separately through searching on the Internet. So I figure some links to my homepage would be helpful if anyone reading my stuff would like to read more. I guess most people would know how to navigate around my address to see my stuff, but maybe not. Ah, the little things we do to make ourselves feel accomplished.
In lieu of random thoughts for the day, here is a list I just typed up of 27 Things that irk, bother, annoy or irritate me. Don’t worry, you’re not on it.
27 Things that irk, bother, annoy or irritate me
Warm public toilet seats
Hangnails
People who don’t wash their hands after taking a dump
The price of cereal
People who grunt audibly in the bathroom stall next to me at work
Not remembering if it’s spearmint or peppermint that I like best
Motorcycles
Feeling like a bump on a log
Friends that move away
People who don’t enunciate
Losing track of time
Feeling ripped off
Forgetting to stretch in the morning
Long-winded stories
Forcing a laugh
Phony people
Toe jam
Wasting paper
Bird poop
Running out of milk
Telemarketers
Pimples
Second hand smoke
Ballyhoo
Pictures that don’t turn out
Vague directions from upper management
People who don’t reply to emails
Weaponry
A glare on the television screen
