Ugh.
I've been up since about 2:45 AM - woke up after a ( very odd dream ) to find that I still had two and a quarter hours before I was supposed to get up. So I did what any sane addict would do: I went downstairs and checked my email.
Normally, when I wake up in the middle of the night, I'm too muzzy to do anything except roll over and go back to sleep. This time, I snapped to full alertness immediately on opening my eyes, and never really found the lethargy to go back to sleep. So instead I've been re-watching Babylon 5's first season (episodes 5-6, if you're curious), hoping that I'd get the chance to go back to sleep.
No such luck.
In any event, my alarm would have gone off about five minutes ago, so it's time to get up and do things. I'm not going in to the office today - my road still isn't plowed, and I'm not sure I want to brave an unplowed road while it's still dark out - but I probably won't be online much either; I've hit on the tactic of using my (Mac) laptop to check email and such while I use my Windows PC (which runs the software I need to work) to actually do my job, and I don't find using Rapscallion particularly enjoyable, so I'm probably not going to actually talk to anybody until 2 or 3 in the afternoon.
