I went to bed early last night, as in 9 p.m. For some reason (perhaps related to my previous post) I was stuck in a zone of “tired but not sleeping” for at least an hour. I tend to still like to count that as sleep as I went through a time where I used to get relatively much less sleep and I figure that lying down requires so very little energy that it’s comparable to sleep.
So I’m up early-ish. It’s windy and I’m cold, so I feel like I’m in one of those arctic documentaries even though I’m actually in my cozy little apartment. With the wind blowing constantly over 40 km/h, and gusting to 55 km/h, the sound reminds me of the breaks in speaking during those boring documentaries where they try to demonstrate the “harsh” conditions to the person who sits on the other end eating popcorn, speaking on a cell phone, laughing at a funny story at an inappropriate time in the documentary, like when a polar bear is being shown fighting its way onto land but having trouble due to the ice shelf melting away as a result of global warming.
In my 2.5 – 3.0 hours of awake time at home last night I didn’t make dinner, which unfortunately means I have no lunch today. This is especially unfortunate because I have a long day ahead: work, school, gym, squash–I won’t be home until 9:30 p.m. at the earliest. Of course I am using this extra time this morning to write a web log entry rather than prepare a lunch; and while I’d like to say I’m doing it for the benefit to society, the truth is I’m doing it to procrastinate getting my lunch sorted out.
Canada’s Federal Budget 2007 is interesting. A few things please me and a few things don’t. I don’t think I’ll get into it but I thought it was worth mentioning as it was a significant event of yesterday.
Enough procrastination.
