Wow.. I just woke up... I hadn't had a full amount of sleep in a long time. It was mainly the dreams that kept me asleep today. I dreamt I ran some kind of Everquest business with someone I knew but I couldn't figure out his name...but it didn't really involve playing the game much... just lots of paperwork. Weird.

Most of my sleep as has been broken up into little bouts lately. 4 hours here, 3 hours here, if I was lucky 6 hours at a time. It's really screwy when you don't have a normal schedule. I have way too much spare time right now... even after studying some new stuff I'm trying to learn. I usually spend 4-5 hours making phone calls and looking online for jobs... and then I get tired. It's easy to wanna go back to bed a few hours after you wake up, if you don't have anything else to do. We are a bit confined to the house right now with the car having a messed up transmission anyway. The VW service center is always busy... never seems to have time for us. They also sell and service Porsches and Jaguars there...I wonder if those customers get the same treatment... I don't imagine they'd like that very much. We've actually had them tell us to keep the car there overnight because they couldn't fit in our oil change the day that it was scheduled... What?? I'm not going to be carless for a day just to get an oil change!

Chris has lost 20 lbs in the past 2 months... since he started eating less carbs (with a little guidance from the Atkin's diet book), I've only lost that mysterious 7 lbs... and amazingly haven't gained it back. He's drinking Diet Coke (yuck) and has gotten used to it. I can't seem to make myself like aspertame. If I'm going to drink something sweet, it better be real sugar that's in there. Oh well, it's for his health... he found out from his mom he used to have a sugar intolerance as a kid, so now we're trying to see if sugar is what triggers his health problem. So far, that seems to be the culprit... everytime he eats sugary stuff, drinks a normal Coke, he has stomach problems and such. It must suck not to be able to eat sugar... he's handling it well though.

Anyway, since I can't seem to find something to rant or discuss today, I decided to talk about whatever.. :O)
