I didn’t sleep well Tuesday night – when the alarm went off yesterday, I turned it off and proceeded to get another hour’s worth of sleep. It helped. Apparently, this caught up to me last night: I was nodding off at the computer and wound up crashing.
Yesterday wasn’t bad. It was somewhat busy, but not horribly so; that helped the time seem to go by even more quickly.
I came home and just… wanted to stay in. I wasn’t too sleepy/tired, but I was a little weary. So, I locked the door and battened down the hatches. Okay… truth be told, there was more “sitting around” than “battening down.” But, I did get the wild hair to clear some of the mess and clutter out of my office. That was a grand undertaking. I’m still not done, but there is a very noticeable difference in how it looks now than it did when I started.

I teamed up with some members of my Super Group and a few other friends for some missions tonight. Carnies on one mish. Black Swan on another. Babbage in the last one. I died a few times, but the missions were of high enough levels that I didn’t stay in debt very long.
I hit Security Level 48 towards the end of the Black Swan mission. Finally! Two more levels – two more very LONG levels – to Warshade.

First work day of the new year. And it wasn’t bad. I was up early this morning… but that didn’t preclude me from enjoying the warmth of the bed for a while, as the iPod played in the background. Then it was up, prep and out the door…
Work wasn’t bad. The lunchtime workout was good, too. Last week, I set a new goal for myself: Being able to consistently bench press 185 lbs for three sets; Wes and Eric are stepping up their weights, too. Today was the first day to try it. We warmed up with 135 lbs. Then I did a set at 185. It wasn’t horrid. After the guys worked through their weights, I did another set at 185. It got a little ragged at the end, but I got all ten in. I only made it through six reps of the third set, but I polished off the last four reps at 135. And I did a “cool down” set at 135. It felt good. Post-gym, Georgia invited me to lunch… so I went. The back half of the work day was a little long, since I stayed to make up for the extra time I took at lunch.
I came home and made a side trip to Paragon City. I teamed up with some members of my Super Group and we went on an AV mission. This was good because I still had roughly 100k of XP debt to work off. I worked off that debt and the debt that I accrued from a painfully stupid death during the mission, too.
Game night. I headed to Chris and

Namaste.
Happy New Year 2007.
2006 was ushered out in the company of friends.
I hope that everyone has a safe, happy and prosperous new year. All the best to you.
Namaste.
