what a long day

I have no idea why I'm still awake. I didn't get to have dinner until 9pm. Went straight from work to a co-op board meeting that lasted from 6pm until almost 9pm as we interviewed different contractors who were making bids to work on repairing the building facade, including the "lintels". I could tell you what a lintel is, but frankly, it's gone out of my head. I'm glad I requested the meeting begin at 6pm instead of the original 7:30 pm, otherwise, I think I'd be just getting home now. I'm glad I'm involved with the board, but it really wasn't what I had in mind after a day of work. And the weather was so beautiful outside this evening - and I had to be in doors in a basement office with a merely adequate fan.

I got home, too tired to cook, luckily had some food still in the house and slapped a tomato and cheese sandwich together with bread just on this side of fresh. Watched the Cardinals lose to the Astros, which sucks, how can what was the greatest team in baseball be losing so many games in a row now. At least the Mets and the Yankees won.

Finally dragged myself to the shower and washed my hair, and I would go to bed, except, I remembered that I need to log onto my work and proof an intranet feature story so that my colleague in London can make his edits while I sleep.

So much for going to bed early -- when you don't get to wind down until after 9pm, it's hard to go right to sleep.
