Crap.
I can't sleep.
It's 12:30am and I can't close my eyes.
I'm trying, but I just can't seem to get comfortable. It's cold, maybe that's it. I swear we were just having great weather (high 80's) then all of a sudden this morning, it's like a fucking icebox...I think it mighta gotten down to 60-65 degrees...maybe colder.
I'm typing in the dark with just the light from the screen of the laptop illuminating my fingers that are slowly turning into frozen fishsticks. I think I can see my breath...okay, I can't but it must be close because I'm beginning to lose feeling in my nose.
I've gotta get up in 4 hours for my 1 hour commute. Damn it. Just a couple hours of sleep would probably be enough. Usually I can fall asleep like nobodies business...sleep like a log, but lately I've been getting less and less sleep.
I think it's old age. Well I'm not in my early 30's and I'm not in quite yet in my mid-30's. My birthday is around the corner and I don't even want to think about it. Well, actually I do. I'm going to Reno, Nevada for some fun in the sun but the whole birthday aspect of it might bring my excitement down a bit.
Yup. Still can't sleep. Oh well, fuck it.
Before I go and drink a swig of tequila or warm milk (maybe both) to try and jumpstart this sleeping thing, I just want to say that if you haven't been following, Woman Of The Law, now is the time to go check her out. Start with the nearness of you and then miles away from where I'm supposed to be.

It's great to get in her head, to feel her thoughts out as her friday night drinkfest after work turns into something else...something with the possibility of being...great? It's also a cold and simple reminder that guys can be insensitive assholes (I've been guilty of it as recently as yesterday).
Let's keep our fingers crossed for two things:
1) WOTL gets a simple explanation and things are still REALLY good with this chump...er co-worker.
2) I can get to sleep in the next hour.
Son Of A Bitch! Now it's 1:08am...I'm screwed.

I'll tell you about cold. I woke up and had to scrape ice off of my windshield and it isn't even November yet. Damn WI.
Yeah, you got me beat. Its only California cold that I'm talking about...you guys have everyone beat!
It's 36 degrees this morning and we're not up north it sucks.

I've got you all beat. I'm trying a case in Kotzebue, north of the Arctic Circle. The sun sinks lower and lower each day as we lose day light and the high today was about 8. Try walking to court in a suit when it's about 8.
Unfortunately, I have another 3-4 weeks of trial to go before I get to go back home, just outside of Anchorage.
Good gawd man! 8! What can that possibly feel like I wonder?
I'll plagiarize a description from a writer up here to give you an idea.
If you have a large chest freezer in your house, the kind used to store food for a long time, empty it out. Grab a fan (plugged in, of course) and put it in the freezer. Sit inside the freezer (while on) and turn the fan on. To replicate a good Alaska storm, turn the fan on high and shake ice chips in front of the fan as it blows on you.
I was out riding snowmachines one day a few years ago when it his -45. I took a glove off, I think to grab something out of the back. After about 20 seconds, my fingers stopped working. I mean that literally. I had to use my other hand to put my glove back on and then had to grab the hand-warmer handle bars of the snow machine.
But here's how to tell a true Alaskan: if you start talking about how cold it is, they inevitably say, "ah, it's been colder." And by the way, we haven't hit what, for this area, would be really cold yet. (see, I told you. I can't help myself.)
