I am incredibly sleepy.
The past four days, I spent probably more than 50% of my time asleep. It was beautiful. Long mid-day naps did nothing to impair my nighttime slumber. And even with all that snoozing, it was incredibly difficult for me to get out of bed and come to work today. I just want to hibernate.
I don't feel too sick anymore. I have a lingering cough and a slightly runny nose, but nothing that really bugs me. I hope the sleepiness is just another symptom and not something that's going to be a bigger problem. I won't have a lot of opportunity to catch extra Z's for at least the next week. Tonight I'm going to the Blazer game with my father-in-law, then there's a local bridge tournament this weekend. I'm also back on plan with my running, which means a 3 mile run today at lunch, 4 miles tomorrow, 3 on Friday, and 6 on Sunday. Erg. Typing that out just made me even more tired. 4 miles on a lunch break is going to be a bitch. But that's tomorrow's monster.
NPR quoted Wayne LaPierre (the NRA dude) this morning attacking Obama for saying we shouldn't be absolutists in his inaugural speech. The quote was something along the lines of "language IS absolute, words DO have absolute meanings, and that's the basis for all government and civilization." Pretty bold claim from an organization that ignores the first line of the amendment they claim justifies their existence. Fine, Mr. LaPierre, let's be absolutists about the meaning of "well-regulated militia." It's so frustrating to me that the level of public discourse is such that a person can more or less get away with claims like this in a national debate. I just don't have much faith in other humans.
