I've been so busy today that I just now realized I didn't blog anything. I had meetings all morning, and very intense meetings at that. I was already tired, because I stayed up late last night getting together a presentation I'll be giving at work and at an international conference next month. I was going to continue working on it today after all the meetings, but had the distinct feeling that if I stayed at work, I would be dragooned into yet more meetings, so I came home to work.
Problem: The room where my computer is at home is not air-conditioned. I moved into this house less than two months ago, and so I didn't realize the extent of the problem until today. I think my computer is okay (and my python, who also lives in the room, happily appreciates the warmth), but the heat made me drowsy, and the air-conditioned bedroom beckoned me for a nap.
Problem: Mid-day naps, especially when I'm already sleep-deprived, result in a lot of very weird REM cycles. Normally the telemarketers who begin calling at 5 pm drive me nuts, but today I'm glad they woke me up. I'd begun by dreaming that I was an investigative reporter on the verge of proving a scandalous link between my ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend and the Mob (hah), and had moved to a dream in which my current neighborhood was in fact the traditional Native American outpost of Philadelphia (eh?), and so my neighbors were reclaiming this ground by digging up the pavement and burying their dead there.
Like I said, I'm glad the telemarketer woke me up. I don't think I made much sense on the phone, though.
Anyway, I'm now hard at work on the presentation, but I hope to get some blogging done tonight as well, seeing as how I'll be in front of the computer for the next seven hours or so...
