Getting back from the beach was a huge relief. I'd had my fill of dogs, in-laws, snippiness and not getting any good sleep. We have been mostly slugs since getting back. We've gone to bed at 9:00 most nights and still tired in the morning.

Next week is my last week at Cisco and I'm so so so happy about that. I am trying my...

No she hasn't gotten an account yet.

I think I'm just not getting enough rest. We sleep on a futon, and we've had it the entire 12 years we've been together, and I probably had it for 2 years before that.

We need a new mattress. And good mattresses are expensive. But you can't say to the electric company - hey, can we skip a month or two so I can buy a mattress?

For some reason they aren't down with that.

Last week at Cisco! Yay! Would it make you laugh if I said to enjoy it?

I've gotten some awesome beaded stitch markers in swaps lately, and they've made me think of you. If only I were so coordinated.

Moonrise, 9:44pm. Sure, it's not a full moon but I might be able to get some good shots nonetheless. The wind is howling, blowing loose debris about, pushing against the side of the house, gusting over and around it. I grab my camera and tripod and head out.

The wind is blowing harder than I thought, almost like a living thing, pushing against me, hard....

Last day at the beach. We leave tomorrow morning. I am so ready to leave. The relaxation has been nice,but I'm done with all the togetherness, done with the three dogs, done with them pooping and peeing all over, done with not being able to sleep. The friggin dogs wrestle all the time so in the morning, bright and early, they start wrestling, waking me...

It's done.



I called my grand-boss and resigned. He asked for two weeks after my vacation, and I really can't blame him for that. I agreed because I didn't want to screw him. He gave me a chance after my two year hiatus when nobody else would, so I owe him at least that much. In a couple of days it should sink in, but...

But if you know know nothing more than my need to be responsible for my parents, I will always maintain. I have no choice.

As to the meetings, drug, guns, and button men related. It has been a crazy few months even by my standards. When I inquired about coming to see you, it was so I could leave the country safely. I realize now, there is no walking away this time. *shrug*

I'm not good, I'm not bad, but I lay somewhere inbetween.

All in all I think you are doing the right thing with the two weeks after you return from vacation.

Good news! The beach house has wireless. Yay!! I can now update and keep in touch.

The house is really nice, it has two main floors elevated above a parking space. Those floors have really nice decks, screened in porch and stairs connecting them all. There's a decent pool and we're about a block from the beach. There's four rooms, we have one with a...

Oi. Let me paint the picture.

Eight electrodes glued to my head in my hair. Yes, glued. They used acetone to remove them, man my scalp was stinging. Six electrodes to my face, two to my arms, two for the legs, four for my chect and sides. Two sensor belts were added, one around my stomach and one under my arms. Then for extra fun...

Sounds like life has been interesting on your end. I hope that they find somthing that will determine what is causing your problems sleepingfrown I know the feeling of wanting to sleep but cantfrown

I have soooo much to tell but I will just post in my journal if you really wanna knowwink

Love you guys!kiss
piratepete:


With all those wires and stuff hooked up no wonder you didn't sleep well. I usually don't remember my dreams, but ever few months I'll go through a week or so of some really weird vivid stuff, maybe its just a phase or something.

Things on my end have started to normalize a little, but I'm standing by for the parade of idiots to start breaking things till they work. With our leaving next weekend and the approaching typhoon this weekend there is bound to be some great moments of idiocy. tongue

Hopefully when I get back I can take my wife on a much needed vacation out to the east coast and we can swing through for a visit. Disneyworld has been calling for a while now.

As you know, I have not been sleeping well at all. Tonight I go to the sleep clinic so I can do a sleep study. Basically I get there at 7:00pm, they "glue" about 10 electrodes to my head, a few more on my chest and stomach, two finger monitors, a belt that does gods only knows what and a tube for my nose that...

I hope everything goes well tonight. It will be interesting to see what they have to say about you and or any problems that you may be having.
grigley:
I wish you luck! I have problems falling asleep at night, but once I do fall asleep, I sleep for 12 - 14 hours. Plus I have tons of strange/bad dreams too.

This Tuesday feels more like a Monday than most Mondays do. Bleh! Nothing major, just nothing quite works like it should, and everything is taking for-e-ver! Sent the reference material off to the Lutheran Family Services group, hopefully they will tell me I'm hired, and hopefully they'll tell me soon. They're just about to open this "tech desk/help desk" thing up here and I wanna...

Apathy is the most excellent word for it. I have some pretty irresistible ones that I can call on, but I just find no desire to deal with it. *sigh*

Good luck with the sleep study!

Happy Saturday! smile

So, K_Rex left me last night....for the beach. Beth called everyone and found a beachhouse for $80 bucks, so K_Rex, Beth, Kim, Andrea and her cousin, and the dogs headed out last night. I just couldn't do the 3 hours drive out and back, wanted to stay home this weekend, thus I am.....alone. Oh so alone.

Well, the birds are here, and unhappy....
