My house, etc.

As much as I bitch about having to go to bed by 10 pm, I'm not very good at observing said bedtime. Example- last night, after an enjoyable Guild Wars session with Renee (I havent' played in over 6 months), I left with the excuse that I really needed to get a full night's sleep. Which was true. However, upon arriving home I immediately spotted the mostly-finished puzzle strategically-placed-for-maximizing-distractability on the kitchen table. I returned the archaeologist's phone call (to make up for my earlier response of "I-can't-talk-I'm-playing-an-intense-computer-game") and started working. Luckily, there were only about 100-150 pieces left, and I'm an amazing puzzler, so I was done by 11, but still... 11 is an hour after 10. Goodbye, 8 hours of sleep. Then! I stayed up reading Harry Potter for another half hour.

Then I couldn't sleep because my bed was cold. I probably spent at least 20 minutes huddled under my two! comforters with two layers of clothes on waiting to get warm enough to fall asleep. It wasn't even that cold, my alarm clock reported a temperature of 61.7 degrees Fahrenheit. I am just unable to generate body heat to a satisfactory level.

HOWEVER- On a Positive Note, my landlord came and unclogged my drains! They had been getting worse all winter even as I poured super-concentrated drano down them a few times a week, to the point that I showered in 3 inches of water. Ugh. But they're fixed, and my tub is clean, and I took a long hot bath yesterday to celebrate.

Well, I'm going where those chilly winds don't blow.
