I went to a soccer game on with my former room-mate’s mother. \u00a0 We were there to watch her grandson and although I enjoy her company, the tension between her and her son is starting to get to me. \u00a0 If pressed, I think I could come up with what she had told me was the cause<\/span> of their ‘cold war’ – but it seems so trivial. \u00a0 So, I stood on the side lines near her – and because<\/span> of that her son never acknowledged me. \u00a0 I’m not really sure if he would have if she hadn’t been there actually, but I like to think he would. \u00a0 \u00a0It’s just… tiresome<\/span>. \u00a0And I seem to be caught in the middle of it. \u00a0 Not really sure what I can do about it. \u00a0 And there are a lot of soccer games coming up.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
While I was at the field, my cell phone rang. \u00a0 The number on the caller ID was my sister’s and when I hit the button to take the call, I heard a horrible noise. \u00a0 It almost sounded like distorted words in with the buzzing sound so I listened for a minute before I figured out that it was the sound of a chainsaw.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This didn’t really surprise me. \u00a0My sister and brother-in-law have a wood burning stove and they are always on the hunt for firewood. \u00a0 Also, my brother-in-law really enjoys his chainsaw. \u00a0When the noise didn’t stop, I figured I’d been called by accident and hung up.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After the match, I called my sister back and asked her how the wood cutting had gone. \u00a0She said it was fine, but couldn’t figure out how I knew. \u00a0I told her that she called me and we got a good laugh out of it – though she’s pretty sure her phone locks when it’s closed \u00a0– partly ruling out “butt-dialing”. \u00a0 So, strange, but funny.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I did a little running around that afternoon with a few errands and got a little sun. \u00a0It was good while it lasted. \u00a0Sunday was gray and raining.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And Sunday morning started far too early. \u00a0I was still in bed a little before 9:30 and while slightly on my way to being awake, I was still enjoying being partly asleep. \u00a0And then the phone rings. \u00a0 After a couple of rings, I realize my room-mate isn’t going to get it. \u00a0I glance at the caller ID, grumble, and answer the phone with my most sleepy sounding hello I can muster. \u00a0The conversation goes like this:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Me: “Hello?”<\/div>\n
My room-mate’s sister: “Hey, are you awake?”<\/div>\n
M: “Just barely and not happy about it. \u00a0Is this an emergency?”<\/div>\n
M R-M S: “No. Bye.”<\/div>\n
Me: “I’ll have him call you later.”<\/div>\n
(click)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Turns out my room-mate had been awake since 6:30 that morning, but was in the bathroom when she called. \u00a0 When he called her back later, she made a comment of how it took him 5 hours to call back after I got over being pissed off. \u00a0 (Yeah, it doesn’t make any sense to me either)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Personally, if I had called someone and awakened them at a time when it would be usual for someone to be asleep – well, I’d be tripping over myself to apologize<\/span>. \u00a0 \u00a0No such response.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For the record, I’m up at 6:30 every morning of the work week and on the weekend – if given half a chance – I’m going to sleep in. \u00a0Especially single digits AM.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In other news…I’ve been fighting a cold for the past few days and it got bad enough that I took some alkaseltzer<\/span> plus cold. \u00a0 I know people who tell me that it isn’t that bad. \u00a0 And those people are lying. \u00a0 \u00a0 I did feel a little better though as the evening went on \u00a0– but ended up \u00a0having a bit of trouble getting to sleep.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Which is not a good thing. \u00a0 I’ve been having trouble getting enough rest for the past week or so. \u00a0I’m getting the same number of hours – but they aren’t doing the job as well as they usually do.<\/div>\n
Not sure what’s going on with that, but I’m not liking the dark circles under my eyes or the extra-tiredness I’ve got going.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, it’s going to be a busy week. \u00a0I’m going to be in several<\/span> day long sessions for evaluation<\/span> of our website as the tech guy for the evaluation software. \u00a0 And I’m really hoping it doesn’t break. \u00a0So, lots to do today to try and get ahead.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
later…<\/div>\n
