We had some weather today that caught everyone by surprise. It started snowing when I got back from lunch, and it didn’t get much better. Usually I just wait it out when we get unexpected snow because it just panics everyone into going home early and then melts before the real rush hour, but I left just before 3PM instead. I didn’t get home until after 4. My usual 35-45 minute commute was more like an hour and fifteen minutes. That’s not too bad, though, since the 10 o’clock news showed rush hour was still going when it should have been over by 6:00 or 6:30PM. I have a friend who even gave up and just got a hotel room downtown instead of heading back to Hillsboro with his kids.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure why I’m still up, besides being foolish. I wasn’t able to do my full amount of screwing around because the snow covered my DirecTV dish and I couldn’t watch TV. I had comic books to read, though. 100 Bullets<\/b> and it’s 100 issues long.<\/p>\n
The weird thing is that I’ve had trouble sleeping this week. I toss and turn for a while and then when I’m good and asleep I have to wake myself up for a trip to the bathroom. The bathroom trip is just because I drink a lot of water after getting back from the gym, but it does come at an inconvenient time. I’ve seen a lot of twitter postings complaining about insomnia as well. Perhaps it’s the mind control drugs in the water.<\/p>\n
I went a whole day with my new glasses and I’m trying to get used to the astigmatism correction. They seem a lot clearer than my contacts, but, like always, I’ll probably go back and forth with my contacts for a while. I like the contacts because I don’t have to have anything on my face and I get peripheral vision, but I like the glasses because they’re clearer and they don’t make my eyes feel funny. It’s always a tradeoff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
