Wednesday
Last night, I had another bout of “stare at your inner eyelids” while trying to fall asleep. I think that it took me at least an hour to fall asleep. That didn’t make waking up any easier.

Today was a decent day: I had an interview that seemed to go fairly well; I’ll should find out for certain on Friday. I saw and for a bit this afternoon. And I cooked dinner. I’ve had a relaxing evening, too. This will change when I log on to play poker in a bit… but I think that I can deal with that.

I’m having coffee with tomorrow at Jitterbug. That promises to be fun.

Happy Birthday wishes to:

  • <pet peeve>
    One of my pet peeves is peoples’ use – or lack thereof – of turn signals. If you’re making a turn or lane change, it doesn’t take too much extra effort to engage your signal. And it might just keep someone (me, included) from running into your slack ass when you make said turn/change.

    And, another thing: Putting on your turn signal after you’ve made your turn or two-thirds of the way through your lane change is just a little late.
