Awakenings

I had just finished watching the movie Awakenings, starring Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro, when I fell asleep from about 5:00 to 12:00. The irony is killing me!

The film was about these people who became catatonic after a bout of encephalitis. A doctor found a drug that would "awaken" them, but unfortunately it only lasted for a summer. It was really sad at the end, in a "Flowers for Algernon" way. I cried, tried to find a happy ending on the internet, but that was the way it happened. Then I slept. I am grateful to have awakened!

I took tiri_mu on a 1 1/2 mile run today. She did fine, but I think that was part of why I fell asleep! The rest of the day involved lifting weights, buying groceries, and sleeping.

I will be changing my clock before I go to bed. Do I need to go to bed after a seven-hour nap?

The correct time!

My phone reset to the correct time this morning and so did my computer! So far, no mini-Y2K issues at all with the early time change. (Wait, nothing happened with the Y2K bug, either, I remember now.)

I hope not to sleep all day today. I wonder if I was fighting off some mini-Y2K bug of my own or something. I don't feel sick. I hope to be able to report later that I did everything that I had to do today. I have MANY bags of recycling and 2 papers to write for my online class. I will be finished with 9 hours of graduate/continuing ed with only 6 more to go this year. I may go for 15 more, though, as they are not as time-consuming as I thought they would be.

Will shrijani let me do some laundry? I also wanted to get a passport photo for renewal purposes if I get cleaned up allright today. I don't have definite plans to travel, but I am thinking about going to Peru to hike, bike, and see Machu Picchu. If I don't make it there, maybe this is the summer for Moab, Utah for biking in Canyonlands National Park.
