It is nights like this that I wish I had health insurance. Not for anything major, mind you, that's kind of the point. Major things get dealt with if you have insurance or not. It's the little stuff that one just ends up living with that is so troublesome.

Tonight, for example I am still awake.

Now, I have a diagnosis of narcolepsy, a relatively minor form characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness. And yet here I am, exhibiting a mild form of insomnia. It would be useful, I think, to go through another sleep study and see what's up with my brain.

Well, I suppose I'll get something to drink and try to relax. Either that or write letters to my Senators and Representatives.

Lovely, lovely weekend. Hoping the week deserves the weather forecast it's getting!

Arrgh. Do not want to be awake at 4:30 a.m.!

Was having a nice, well-deserved two hours of sleep ... until the washing machine repairman arrived. Sigh. Try to relax and sleep again.

Dogs woke me up at 3:30 for reasons unknown. Thunderstorm rolled through about 4:30, waking us all up again. Slept in and came to work late.

Interesting note: people on the bus at 9:00 a.m. are more attractive than the people on the bus at 8:00 a.m. Must be the extra beauty sleep.

Installs for the environment associated with a new project to happen in a short bit. Since my machine will be busy, I'll take a long lunch!

Came in late, going home early. That's just how I roll…

I'm seeing a lot of Twitter traffic about protest in Iran. Reports of shooting, beatings, arrests. I hope video gets out soon. #iranelection

Spending my morning making alterations to a site built on a poorly-documented, confusingly-organized, open-source tool.

Bus temps today at the extremes. So cold this morning condensation formed on outside of windows. Going home, no a/c at all in muggy weather.

Oh, sweet central air-conditioning! What joy you bring to coming home!

Things seem quiet in Iran … too quiet. #iranelection

Neck doing bad things this morning. Have taken NSAID. If not better in an hour, will call massage therapist.

Neck is no longer killing me, but still aches. NSAIDs helping, as is ice. I think a long, hot shower will too.

Took long, hot shower. Neck ache down to a dull roar. (I wonder what a dill roar would sound like?) Now to sleep as boringly as possible!

Wandering about the Stone Arch Festival of the arts.

Feeling like history shifting in Iran. I hope the shift is toward peace and freedom. #iranelection

Man. It's starting out a good day to snooze in bed with a cat. Well, must go to work regardless.

Dragging today for reasons I do not fully understand. At least it's Friday! I'll be able to catch nap when I get home in a couple hours.

News from Iran getting worrisome. Will have to keep an eye on things this weekend. #iranelection

Be on the lookout for @windowseat during @4thSt. She'll be the one in zubaz and crocs. ☺

Came home, did blitzsauber (lightning clean) on my room. Now ready for nap!

Tweeting w/ iPhone OS 3.0 goodness this morning. No big difference for me yet, but have urge to compose in Notes app & copy to #Twitterific.

Paraphrasing guy behind greening app: Mousavi isn't far better than A[...] but the movement is important. bit.ly/poxTS #iranelection

Maybe it's because @neilhimself is so darned cool, but beekeeping is sounding very interesting. I think it ties in w/ native gardening.

Am told that I'm switching primary projects starting on Monday. This appears to be part of the "keep Peter working here" effort. Yay!

Sesame chicken, pot stickers and rice for ~$7. I think I found my back-up cheap lunch spot.

It's Wednesday! That means free pie with purchase at Baker's Square!

Got my pie (free with purchase of strawberry lemonade), had a walk in the park, and am settled in to watch the Twins game.

Teddy kept me company during the long Twins game. Good dog, but a Twins loss. twitpic.com/7omqr

For someone so tired, I'm up curiously late. Perhaps I'm plotting something. Something ... evil. (You would I would tell me!)

Being up late was not an evil plot. Just garden-variety sleeplessness. Being up early after being up late? That's just plain cruel.

I'm Tweeting from Iran today and here's why: bit.ly/ujzdk

Am I a soldier in the Iranian cyberwar? Maybe I'm just an interested bystander. #iranelection

Today at work I have rocked like a mighty rocking thing.

Looks like a slow, soaking rain is setting in for a few hours. Perfect for the new prairie plants!

That's it! Unfollowing @fsnorth because they keep tweeting spoilers for games I'm not watching until later.

Enjoying the time-delayed Twins game. Kinda cool the Pirates have brothers at first and third base and that they are sons of a former Twin.

Joe Mauer is just incredible! Such a priviledge to watch him play.

What does what you tweet say about you? Or, more interestingly, about @neilhimself? TweetPsych bit.ly/8zbua

Today has flown by quickly! Great to have enough stuff to do that I've been busy at work. (Also good for continuing employment outlook!)

Was closely watched by Domino in role "jungle cat!" as I weeded front garden after work. Felt safe from menaces of rabbits & flying bugs.

Oh, yay! The thing I thought would require a little wrangling of people to get done is, instead, largely in my control!

Solution to my cross-site scripting problem: don't use cross-site scripting! (Simpler is better.)

Feeling decently well, but oddly unhungry this morning. Drank some juice, getting ready for work.

Seems quiet at work today. More like a Friday than a Thursday....

Folks helped me, time to return the favor RT: @neilhimself: Can the web help feed a writer? A good one? Go and read bit.ly/edNC9

Got wrapped up in a problem and nearly forgot to leave work! Caught my bus on time, I'm glad to say.

Gall bladder is acting up this morning. Going to try connecting to work from home.

Work connection from home being troublesome. Email into tech support, but I may be relegated to bed with belly ache and no work. Bleagh.

Slept like the proverbial rock. Neck better, but still tight. Sounds like NSAIDs for breakfast!

Crud. Forgot my work badge this morning. Waiting for someone from my floor to arrive and let me in. B would be unsurprised, but appalled.

Finished uploading a butt-load of PDFs for a site at work. Now a little poking around and catching up on other things before it needs fixes!

Learning that I'm not alone in thinking work's intranet could use vast improvemnt. And that there's little that can be done to change it.

Not sure why city buses have incomprehensible array of beeps, bells and buzzes. Imagine they drive operators mad.

I hate west-coast road trips; Twins games start so late! At least I had a bit of a nap earlier.

I think Vegas would prefer I went to bed. twitpic.com/70xi2 Staying up and watching Twins win!

Here's hoping Nathan can get a save and Baker a win in what should have been a Twins blow-out.

Whew! That Twins win was more nerve-wracking than expected! Now to get to bed!

The 5:00 a.m. rain makes Domino
very indignant that I had the gall to
let her sneak out last night. What could I have been thinking!?

Waiting patiently for Apple's WWDC keynote. OK, maybe not so patiently. Turn planet! Turn, damn you!

WTF AT&T? I want my MMS and tethering! Get on the ball!

Still thinking about Minnehaha dog park with the Berners on Saturday. They had a *blast* with all that room to run, but needed baths after!

Excited by possibilities of iPhone OS 3, but hugely ticked at AT&T for lacking support of some new features. Feel like third-world customer!

Did something wrong to my neck this evening. Took some NSAID. Next up is ice. Hope it calms down so I can sleep.

Ice helped my neck an NSAIDs probably kicked in. I think I'll be able to get half-decent sleep.
