“The key to happiness,” my fortune cookie tells me tonight, “Is having dreams.”

I suppose I’m not really sure how to take that. :)

Anyway, Friday was Everyman Day 60, and I apologize for the lack of update; the only Boomstick going on around here has been the smackdown work and school laid on me this past week. It’s really embarrassing, explaining where the bruises came from…

To add insult to injury, I’m afraid there isn’t much of consequence to report. I’ve been doing, not perfectly, but doing, and definitely slowly adapting to my schedule. Tonight I had to miss my 6:00 nap — not too devastating as I slept in this morning, per my usual Weekend Weakness (yeah…gotta work on that…but this time I actually got up on time, and half an hour later got lulled back into bed by visions of how sweet another long nap would be…and yeah, actually, it was, really… ;). But to get back to the salient point, I got tired, even though I was out and running around, at precisely five to six (my 6:00 naps have all been a little late this week, due to getting home from work late). Good sign! I also sleep well for all my daytime naps, as a rule, and am no longer tired in the middle of the night. Real oversleeps on weekdays are rare, but “snoozebarring”–oversleeping by a “snoozelength” or two–is still aggravatingly common, happening on average once or twice every 48 hours (this week I hope to really get time to do the Boomstick exercises in quantity, and address that).

Still, my biggest challenge remains my living conditions. But while navigating being up all night in a one-bedroom apartment with a husband and a toddler and nowhere to really go has been tough to make comfortable, it hasn’t been impossible (at least for Everyman). I’m getting comfortable enough with it now that I can read and work at night without zonking out, and putting a movie on will usually keep me conscious. While that’s overall good news, it means that getting useful things done can become a bit of an extra challenge, heh.

One additional thing on that: My recent mental rollercoastering has left me mildly afraid of the dark. Oops. Nonetheless, nothing beats a residual fear like that better than being stuck dealing with it on a daily basis…it’s almost gone already. ;)

In conclusion, look what I got!

P.S. Yo — you heard what Princeton said, right? Don’t vote on Diebold machines.

According to Salon: “Diebold has repeatedly disputed the findings as speculation. But the Princeton study appears to demonstrate conclusively that a single malicious person could insert a virus into a machine and flip votes. The study also reveals a number of other vulnerabilities, including that voter access cards used on Diebold systems could be created inexpensively on a personal laptop computer, allowing people to vote as many times as they wish.”
