And bedtime.

May 26, 2009 22:42

So, I have two alarm clocks -- one set for workdays and one set for Sundays.  I forgot that I'd reset my workday alarm clock for Saturday, so despite my having turned my alarm clock on last night, it still hadn't gone off when I woke up at 7:28 this morning.

This is not entirely a bad thing, as I don't even know when I got to sleep last night.  I went to bed around 9:45, was still awake around 10:30, got up and puttered on the computer and went back to bed around 11:30, was still awake around 11:55, got a book and a flashlight and read about 70 pages.

Good things about today:
  • I woke up with enough time to take a shower (and eat breakfast!) and still get to work on time.
  • Someone mentioned Reiki in comments on a flister's entry the other day, and it got me thinking, and she replied to my comment and so now I'm maybe setting up an appointment.
  • My mom came in to tickets to Pirates! at the Huntington for this Saturday -- so I am skipping the Presbyterian collegiate ministry conference to go to that.
  • Spinach ravioli on the pasta bar.
  • Demo Part 2 of the online system we'll be using for Recruiting next year.
  • Half-day on Friday, June 5.  I had totally forgotten about the Light Lunch tradition, which is canceled this year due to budget concerns but we still get to leave at noon.  (Possibly I will get my hair cut that afternoon.)
  • Katie and I got crepes at Mr. Crepe.  We each did a build-your-own savory crepe (I did mozzarella, spinach, avocado, sun-dried tomato) and split a dessert crepe (strawberries and Nutella -- mmm... Nutella!).  She mentioned that she hadn't had crepes since we last went out for crepes at Arrow Street like 8 months ago, and so then we were trying to remember when that was.  She said, "I remember there was some hot topic," and I suggested maybe it was about so-and-so and she said definitely and then she rememebered and oh yeah, GT's reminiscing.  We ended up talking for four hours.
Things I did well today:
  • I called Maytag and set up an appointment for tomorrow.
  • I pulled files off a 3½-inch floppy for Prof.D.
  • I helped Laura with some of her stuff.
  • I did some work on the AAR.
Things I am looking forward to (doing [better]) tomorrow:
["anything that you're looking forward to, that means you're facing tomorrow with joy, not trepidation," as Ari says]
  • Going to the gym.  I didn't get to go today 'cause I overslept and stuff, but my repairperson isn't due until at least 1pm, so while I am taking the entire day off from work, I am going in to the gym in the morning.
  • Getting our washing machine fixed.  (Though I am definitely considering the possibility that the person won't have the necessary part or something and will have to schedule a follow-up appointment.)
  • Rest and Bread
