Weekend Fog 2005

It's not that I'm getting to old for this; I think I've always had this reaction to late night fun and even moderate amounts of alcohol. Friday and Saturday night I was up past midnight hanging out with friends and drinking. I had two drinks each time - probably about 6oz of spirits - and then drank water and took ibuprofen and stayed up until 3am before going to sleep.

I slept 7.5-8 hours and then sat up in bed and read for a bit. Despite the normal amount of sleep (and an additional nap on Saturday), I'm groggy, unmotivated and drained. The question in my mind is "was it the drinks or the 4 hour timeshift of my sleeping?" Am I slightly hung over or jetlagged?

Suffice to say, I traded late night hanging out with some friends for daytime citywalking and a book-trading brunch this morning with other friends I'd really been looking forward to seeing. Ah well, life is trades.

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).
