Insomnia

Somehow, I couldn't sleep a wink last night. Made for a relatively miserable traditional-hours work day. I managed to sleep 6pm to midnight or so, though, which felt great, and after working a couple hours, plan to get another nap in before facing tomorrow, and ideally feeling much more human.

Chompies for brunch

I had the strawberry stuffed French toast today at Chompie's. It was pretty tasty, but I think next time I'll seek to eat something more nutritive. Taking a bag of day-old bagels to work tomorrow.

Went to Costco to buy water and stamps.

This evening I got to visit the St. Bernard and borrow him for a run in the park. We had a blast.

Flash game

A friend sent me a link to this Flash game in which I'm able to get a high score of 6.

Phone with an old friend

Spent quite a while on the phone with an old friend this evening. It was fun to catch up.

Airport

This morning I got to deliver a friend to the airport in the wee early hours of the morning, which was a lot more fun than it might sound.

Saturday

Today I bought a plane ticket to my sister's wedding, filed the associated PTO request, paid bills, visited a friend and her dog (and enjoyed excellent fresh Snickerdoodle cookies!), watched a Poirot episode, and ate take-out General Tso chicken for dinner. The latter wasn't all that good and just as soon as I find them on Yelp I'll probably feel the need to ding them.

I turn in with especial resolve to hit the day early to make it to at least one church service.

Rockfish Seafod Grill

Went to Rockfish Seafood Grill for dinner since I had a coupon for a free appetizer and I'm a sucker for a coupon. It was okay but not great. Coconut shrimp appetizer. Pecan-encrusted trout entree. Icewater to drink.

The regular-sized Sonic cookie-dough blast I picked up on the way home was by far the highlight of the experience.

Independence Day

A friend's generously included me in her family's Independence Day gathering. Several lovable canines, oodles of delicious food, interesting people to meet and a particular grandmother's stories to hear. It was a good time. Awesome swimming pool, too.
