Thoughts

Making a long, boring story short, this week has been a difficult one. Things at work have simply left me mentally exhausted and sleep has been no haven for me. On top of my usual inability to fall asleep pre-11:30pm I have been coming in to work at 6-6:15 thus getting up that much earlier.

I had decided that things are weighing heavily on me now, but in a few days I'll be bouncing around again. I just need a few days of concerted effort towards clearing my mind and relaxing. That theory is now out the window.

Just when my week was near its end, the first signs on senility began to settle in and make themselves at home. My alarm sounded at 4:30 and as I stirred in bed I realized that I had a song stuck in my head. This was no ordinary song. My first thought as I rolled over was, "Luke be a Jedi tonight" (harmony and music included).

The reference there is to an episode of The Simpsons in which Mark Hamill guest stars and plays lead in a version of "Guys and Dolls".

I have not seen this episode in a great while; there is no foreseeable reason for it to echo through my mind.

Is there any hope left for me?
