yes, I've gotten sleep, but these past two nights, my dreams have been a bizarre mix of nightmares and award winning screenplay writing. Yes, I've been starting out with nightmares, which prevent me from getting any good sleep to speak about, followed by intense dreams following the trends of major television series/movies, with me inserted in them somewhere. Of course, I have completely forgotten them, as my waking up routine involves so many things that unless I were to right them down, even getting up to hit snooze and use the bathroom wipes one out. Hopefully tonight will be more serene. I really hope so.

So how was my weekend? Well, Friday, my boss gave everyone half the day off. Most took it, except me of course. Why? Well, two reasons. One, as I was heading TO work, I saw the immense South-bound Benny migration already causing jams and slow downs, and the longer I waited to go home, the less the traffic would be. And two, I was moving to a new desk. Yes, my boss has been matching my complaints about having to hear an AC unit with his answer of "just move somewhere else". So I have had my eye on the empty desk closest to the owners office. So after everyone had gone, I set my plan in motion. In true Me fashion, the "one hour" job turned into 4 hours. The main reason was my own picky tastes. I didn't like the lateral file on the side of the desk it sat under, and the three drawer cabinet on the side it was on. So I pulled them out of their respective spaces and swapped them. Then the next problem presented itself. The desk above the cabinets was too long on lateral side and too short on the three drawer side. Since the desk was in three sections, they were, of course, different sizes. In the end, this led me to pull the wrenches and sockets from my car and take apart the desk to make it fit my needs. It did, and I moved all my junk. My cpu is in the way right now, due to the plug being further away than previously, but I have a plan to mount the case under my desk using some nylon strapping, which should work out fine. I left work around 9pm, and made a nice trip home w/little to no Benny's.

Saturday I woke from crappy sleep with a plan for the day. I then had an internal struggle to figure out if I should go through with it. In the end, I did. So I decided to splurge, and take the diesel out. Nothing better to thank America with than a 3/4ton pickup truck. I washed and shaved, and stopped in town at the new pizza place and while ordering, realized I had forgotten my teeth....again. So I ate, shot back home, then headed to TR to stop at Harbor Freight. I picked up a new high temp glue gun to help fix my boots, among other things. They didn't have my arc welder, so I got a rain check. I then hopped back in the truck and headed further into TR to drop something off for my Ex, Kristen. She was at Lowes, which worked to my advantage. While there, I picked up some "needs" for installing my attic fan, which I see going in during the next week, of which I am ecstatic. I then hopped back in the truck, and went to my last stop, Shop-Rite. I picked up some London Broil for making some pot roast when I got home and some other things I needed. I head back home and settled in for the night. I had to make sure to keep Huck in, as he HATES fireworks, and I care about him. While I was out feeding, I found a dead woodchuck in my trap, and since I didn't have any buckets, I just tossed him in my burn barrel, and that was the end of him. I also ran into two of the skunks under my front porch while walking around the house. They are brave buggers, and will stand their ground against you. Now I have to figure out how to get rid of them. I then went to bed.

Today, I got up, again after some bad, then weird dreams and had my coffee, my pop-tarts, and started cleaning up. I didn't get as much done as I would have liked, but I was also side-tracked by fixing my cousins computer. Kids had got it infected by multiple virii, and in the process of ripping them out, they damaged the system, so I had to repair it. I finished that up, fed the horses, and came back inside to clean some more and make some muffins. That about leads me to where I am right now. Typing away.

Well, it's after midnight now, so I must be getting to bed. I'm praying for a better nights sleep. So I'm gonna post this entry, listen to some Sublime, then try to sleep the sleep of the sleeping. Nighters all.
