Points for effort, at least 2005

I didn't nap during the day. At 8pm I took some Nyquil (but not the dope-you-up nighttime kind) and then a bit before 10 I took a melatonin. 20 or 30 minutes later I was feeling dozy, brushed my teeth and went to bed. It was lovely. I drifted off to deep, restful sleep comfortably and quickly.

...And then woke up two hours later bright eyed and bushy tailed.

*sigh*

At least my symptoms are down to a slightly sore, scratchy throat and the occasional "productive" cough (which is about the only productivity I've been able to manage for the last three and a half days). My sinuses are back to normal, not even allergies bothering me.

Only fly in the ointment: wide awake at a quarter to 1am. Fortunately, I'm not alone in the nightowl world. Alongside re-reading old posts in this weblog from two years ago, I had a great chat with my friend Simon, who I'm hoping to get to spend more time hanging out with if he moves out to this part of the world.

Now it's 2:15am and I'm hungry. I guess the appetite is reminding me that it's well too.

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
