Why some days are harder than others

In the past 23 hours, I have:

  • Slept for five hours
  • Finished four days' worth of news coverage and published MDJ
  • Driven to OKC and back with my mother to honor a family tradition (We go to every Star Wars movie on opening day, for she used to pull me out of school for the first three movies, and it's not too much to ask every three years or so)
  • Dealt with Cox Communications moving the entire hub for my city tonight with absolutely no advance warning, leading to a multiple-hour internet outage
  • Once the Net came back up, waited to receive work from someone else who sent a message but forgot to attach a file
  • Watched and weathered a severe thunderstorm at 1:30 AM with 70+ mph winds and potential golfball-sized hail (the winds blew, but the hail did not fall)
  • Watched and took notes on Apple's Xserve introduction to try to answer the slew of questions MDJ readers have been sending

I think I ate something in there somewhere, too. I've got a lot of my answers for my articles, but my sentences are starting to show some pretty strange syntax, which means it's time for bed. I have an appointment tomorrow night, too, so there may not be much sleep now, but there needs to be some.

I didn't feel this tired when I was 26.
