halloween is a ways away
I think the recommended topic for writing in your livejournal today dealt with what you're planning to dress as for Halloween. What's funny is that although usually I'd say it's not a concern because October just started, my wife actually has figured out what we're going to be. My son really digs the movie "Cars" so she got him a Lightning McQueen type of costume, and she and I are going to be race car drivers. She'll be of the sexy race car driver variety, and I'll be of the lame race car driver variety in case you were wondering.
Son was feeling sick yesterday, so I stayed home from work and never had a chance to get to my livejournal. I usually find time to write journal posts and anything else I feel like during my downtime at work, but my downtime has drastically reduced lately. Just as an example of what I'm talking about, the previous sentence took me about 10 minutes to write because I had to leave the journal post a couple times to handle other issues. I think I'm more of a rhythm writer, and unfortunately it's been difficult for me to get into a rhythm over the past week or so. I'm still plugging away, but my production has slowed to a crawl. Very discouraging.
It doesn't help that I'm not getting enough sleep. I keep finding excuses to stay up until nearly midnight or later every night during the week. I never go to sleep early on the weekends, so I feel a bit like I've been riding on 5 or 6 hours of sleep for a month or more now. I also don't eat as well as I should (far too much fast food in my "diet") and it's all adding up to colossal amounts of fatigue. Has this turned into the complaining livejournal post, or what? I think I'll stop now.
