Perhaps I should disconnect the phone.

There was a time yesterday when I wanted to be asleep. I was hung over, after all, and I didn’t want to be awake to experience it. Unfortunately, some clown decided that our number was the one he wanted to call at 5:20AM and when no one answered, he called three times. When I finally got to the phone, he figured out that he had misdialled THREE TIMES. Later, the election calls started. Usually they’re recorded nonsense and they’re quite annoying.

In Oregon we have 100% mail-in voting. Somehow they can tell when you’ve sent in your ballot and they stop calling. However, there’s no way for me to mail in my ballot and then find out if they actually received it. Voting seldom makes sense.

It’s raining so hard here that the police had to be called to block some streets that had become lakes. It usually doesn’t rain that much here (I keep reminding myself), it just rains all the time. We also had a 2.7 earthquake (barely an earthquake). Somehow, even with all that, I got myself so tired at the gym that I can’t get excited about it.

Carolyn, I have you beat.

I got up at 4PM today. I think I’ve realized long ago that after about three beers – the stronger microbrew ones anyway – I should stop. It was a horrible day, with pouring rain, and probably the right day to sleep in. In any case, I should probably get to sleep but I’m busy watching Doc Hollywood and trying to clean up things in my sister’s blog. I have lots of ways to waste time.
