24 Hours Later

The past day has been interesting.

Work has been somewhat slow. New policy directives from upper management has temporarily suspended a number of new projects and various others are in the process of winding down to completion; I'm rather enjoying the lull while it lasts.

After work, we had a quick dinner at home, then headed to Baltimore for club night square dancing. Dayle Hodge was calling, but claiming that he was made to call on every one of his birthdays, he put me on mic for a Mainstream tip towards the end of the evening (which I think went well).

The Chesapeake Squares surprised me with a birthday cake & card, as well as a singing of 'Happy Birthday,' thus continuing my birthday embarrassment tour. Dave R. gave me a present of several deluxe chocolate bars of various flavours, which I intend to sample and report on in due time.

I should have gone to bed as soon as we arrived back home, but Futurama caught my eye until 11:30 PM. Figures. When we did finally crash, a certain someone was snoring intensely so I ultimately spent the bulk of my sleeping hours on the couch in the living room anyway.

Alas, this morning, [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr had to return to Cleveland. I drove him to BWI airport early this morning, making good time on that leg of the trip; indeed, because of this side trip to BWI, I missed much traffic ugliness along I270 northbound, my normal commuting path.

With a little luck, today will also be a quiet work day. Tonight, we'll be dancing C1 in Arlington, VA, although I hope I can squeeze in a short nap prior.

Naps are CRITICAL when you're 40+!

I liked naps when I was well below 40 years of age. I recall my kindergarten report card mentioning that I frequently preferred to nap rather than interact with the other kids.

Naps are definitely critical when one's bed partner snores like a freight train. Alas, I had too much sugar to sleep restfully so every little snort & squeak was keeping me awake.

Danny's either quite kind, numb, or crazy...I know that I must snore like a stallion sometimes, but he toughs it out in bed. Plus we have some pretty strong earplugs!

Happy napping!
