An old friend payed me a visit last night
My insomnia is back.
I normally do not do this but with some quick coercion from a friend, I dosed up on Tylenol PM (she suggested Nyquil, but I ran out earlier this year when I had what felt like a case of the bird flu. Okay that's a meer exaggeration, it was really the flu.), and finally fell asleep. In the mean time, I started moving my books from the garage to a makeshift room, which will then be organized and put back in my library. I now have piles of books everywhere. Since I began this job in the world of academics, I have collected a number of historical works that are essential to my research. In addition, I have a mass collection of trashy sci-fi paperbacks from the '70s and '80s, mostly from the DAW science fiction publisher. And I mean trashy as in trashy, not trashy as in bad condition.
Now half of my house looks and smells like a vintage used book store. I assume I will not get any sleep tonight, and I can begin the organization process. If I think that's bad, wait until I try to re-alphabetize (yes, that's geeky) the thousands of CDs and vinyl I own. I may drown in my own consumption.
