Had the most unusual morning today. I went to bed just before midnight last night… right after my post, actually (that’s early for me; usually I’m in bed no sooner than 12:30/1) — and in the morning, two odd things happened:

1. I was facing the opposite direction from normal.
2. It was 5:30, and I felt incredibly well-rested. But I went back to sleep, because, geez, even /if/ I’m well-rested, it doesn’t mean I should be awake. So back to sleep I went. And woke up at what I thought was 6:45 — because, well, it must be… I felt even better rested than before — but it was only 6:15. And so this cycle continued until it was 6:40, at which point I got up.

I honestly have no idea why I was the opposite direction from normal. That baffles me. I have a futon. It’s not exactly as though I could have rotated. Which leaves sleepwalking as a possibility, I suppose.
But if I were sleepwalking, I’m not sure I would have felt so well-rested. The well-rested bit, I have a theory about that. Any day I go running (or play Ultimate, which is essentially fun running), I always sleep soundly. Thing is, it’s usually so soundly I sleep right through my alarm. But not this morning, where I woke up a good three or four times before it went off at 7 (by which point I’d already showered and shaved).
In any case, I took advantage of the situation and had a good breakfast, washed some dishes, and even had some of the tea Hilary and Brian brought for me from Victoria when they came to visit. Mmmmm.

I am sure you are all wondering how that epic bug battle is going. Well, I was up to a few other things too today, but let’s just say the root cause may be quite a bit deeper than any of us thought. So yeah, the bug is still at large, and there’s a couple new ones that have cropped up in the meantime. Great.
Ah well! You all remember I’m going to Savannah this weekend, right? That’s kinda exciting. I still have to confirm that my registration actually got there intact (I’m really hoping the postal worker sealed the envelope for me). That’ll be an email I’ll have to send tomorrow I guess! Also tomorrow: figure out a place to stay in Jacksonville Friday night, print maps etc. This is gonna be fun 🙂
Now… if you’ve got some extra time: how many petals are around the rose?

Ultimate practice (or shall I say “pickup”?) was good tonight — cut it a half-hour short to watch Calgary-Tampa Game 1. I predicted Calgary would win 4-3; they ended up handily taking it 4-1, so I was half right! 😀
Oh to be in Calgary right now (17th street in particular). Seriously though, it’s almost like the C on the Flames jersey stands for Canada, what with it being 10-ish years since a Canadian team last made it to the cup finals. The ESPN commentator tonight even said there were Oilers fans cheering on Calgary. Crazy.
Got in a massive fight with a (code) bug today. I thought I had quashed it, but it reared its big ugly head just when I went to demo my fix to Cam at 2pm. Spent the rest of the day trying to isolate the problem, didn’t have it working by the end of the day. Guh. Tomorrow!
How was every-yalls Tuesday?

Florida grass
Ah yes, the weekend. Well, Tampa-Philly was one helluva game. Respect to all the Philly fans out there. There was a bit of a mixup on the venue that night; Cam, Ron and Melissa ended up at the Ale House; myself, Eric J, Sonia, Greg, and Jeff also ended up at the Ale House. Except we couldn’t find each other, because, well… we were in different cities. Cam and crew ended up driving up to meet us during the second period, which was super cool. Next time, we should specify the city, how ’bout that? 🙂
Sunday was good, though I ended up waking around noon! I had a late night chatting with Dad and a couple friends, guess sleep deprivation finally caught me.. Then Cam and I carpooled the 20 miles to GT Bray for the usual 3pm pickup Ultimate game. We were joined by some kids who play at Lakewood Ranch — can they ever run and jump!
Anyhow, my eyelids seem to be getting very very very heavy. Ack.
