Long day again; we didn't go out last night, Karen was the one this time, though. Missed seeing Jody and Lee Ann, and I hated that. nevertheless, after the decision was made, I was in the bed by 22:00.

But not asleep; no, insomnia struck again. I never got out of bed, but I looked at the clock every hour on the hour until 04:00.

And this is gonna sound crazy, and in *CRaaaaaaZZZZY* but I really miss work.

Like, maybe I really have a problem?

After all, I have other ways of fulfilling myself besides work, right? Music, computers, family, friends...

OK, I need to change the subject.

KU lost their basketball game today, It was really close, went into overtime even. But they were only slightly overmatched, and there was a lot of luck (and some bad calls) mixed in there. And seriously, I really don't think that they could have made the next cut anyway. But they did pretty damned good for a team under a first-year coach.

Karen and I went out to Home Depot and looked at that building today, and she's getting enthusiastic about it. The only question left is where to put it. I'm really thinking right behind the back deck right now, it'll be hidden from the street, and close to the house. And not much will need to be done re: groundwork/cement work. And it'll hide the back of the house from the park, too.

JD should have another entry up soon, telling us about his new truck and Annette's new car. If he doesn't, then maybe this will shame him into doing one. Well, that's stupid, I've never been able to shame him into doing anything ever before. And actually, I never would do that. Sorry, JD, didn't mean it. Well, I didn't *not* mean it enough to delete this, heh?

I'm trying to do IRC, and it's really confusing. Talked with a student from Austria tonight, but after a while she never came back. Or maybe she did after I left, did I mention that it was confusing? Like fifteen conversations going on at once. Weird.

Tard again, dammit, it's gonna be another early night for me, and maybe I'll really get some sleep tonight> I hope.
