I am a glitch in the matrix...
There's no better cure for a bout with insomnia than exhaustion and a cold. The lack of sleep over the past few weeks finally caught up to me...I didn't sleep til about 3:30 on Monday morning and woke up at 8 feeling like absolute crap. I had a feeling that my immune system was taking a huge hit with each passing day that I wasn't really sleeping...and just as I had expected, it hit me. It was my message that I need to take it easy. Which is hard for me to do a lot of the time...it's hard for me to stay still. So I stayed home all day yesterday and rested. Watched 2 of 3 discs from HIMYM season 2; because disc three was missing! Anyway, I started getting restless bing at home...so I decided to get my tattoo done ...but then I realized that the shop was closed that day. I also needed to pick up something from Chris, but he called and said he would just drop it by - all signs that I should just stay at home all day...so that I did. And it was glorious. I was able to do some laundry and get some much needed rest. I slept a little earlier than usual...about 1:15AM...but hey, that's a start; and of course the Nyquil helped out a lot, he he he. Came in to work today, but still not feelin so hot. Doesn't help when people tell you you don't look so good either, he he he.
It's already only 2 weeks til Christmas and I have yet to be fully hit with the Christmas spirit. I don't know why. I see all of the decorations everywhere, people shopping, Christmas music on KOST; we even have our own tree and lawn deer at the Downey house, yet I still don't feel it. I could be because I've been a little busy lately, but I think I've been busier in years past...last year, I was out of town right around this time for a test drive in the east coast. Even worse, I haven't even come close to completing my giftlist! Maybe the urgency will push me into feeling the holidays soon....man, there are like a million and a half versions of the Little Drummer Boy...so crazy...
There are gamblers in this world, and there are those that say they don't like to. But I think every single person has some little gambler in them. Just because you don't gamble at the casino doesn't mean you're not a gambler. If you've run a red light, or sped, or touched the kettle to see if it's still hot has gambled, or ever gotten piss-drunk has gambled, or have ever been in a relationship, you've gambled. Risk...such a crazy thing. You lay yourself out in fear that things could go completely opposite of how you want it to be, but you gamble anyway. It's scary, to make yourself vulnerable like that...but at the same time it's thrilling, and even more, you'd never know if it would turn out how you expected if you didn't take the risk. And hey, no pain no gain, right? I'm totally rambling here, just in one of those contemplative moods I guess. To make a long thought short...you gotta risk big to win big.
I've been wanting to post these pics for a while...
Vegas trip w/ the gambling crew...first of many to come!
Iya's 30th...Drunk iya is so much fun!
Christine F's b-day at the Edison
I wish I could leave early...but I carpooled today. I think I just got re-energized.
