something is screwy. First, i set fire to the microwave two days ago with a bag of microwave popcorn -- i swear, even though i stayed up all night boiling lemons and coffee and washing down every surface in the house, it is STILL all i can smell. also, let me tell you -- the fact that it was 100 calorie kettle corn does NOT make it smell sweetly. it smells like cotton candy from hell. as a result, even the thought of food makes me nauseous, so running on no sleep and no food, somehow i managed to do the following:

a. i re-coded over 250 pages on my shop. i added a banner, changed some of the buttons, reformatted the tables, and most importantly, added this little "or you might like" button that you see on the left there, which allows for easier browsing of the shop. it was all so tedious which is why i wonder: where the heck did the stamina and concentration come from?!!!! didn't you read what i said before about popcorn hell?!

b. i started training again this week. i've been doing physical training for the last 7 months or so, a couple times a week at the YMCA - but had to take a hiatus when i had the broken shoulder. somehow, in my weird empty lifeless state, i trained vigorously day before yesterday and i'm going to do it again today - somehow. um.

c. i'm driving again - yes, for 7 weeks there i was not mobile at speeds greater than 4 mph (maybe 5 if i hustle) so yesterday i had to run an errand. on the way home - what should have taken me 15 minutes to drive took me 90 minutes. why? because i spaced, deep in "thought", and missed my exit by, like, a lot. in rush hour! maybe i better stick to the no car thing....

i'm just wondering when i'm going to crash - i feel like i haven't slept in days. last night around midnight, before i did get ~3 hrs of sleep, michael and i were watching the padres vs cubs game (it's like the battle of cities-i-lived-in) and i started talking about how funny something or another was. after 2 minutes of incoherent babbling i realized i had no idea what i was saying. not like: "oh, i was saying something but i lost my train of thought" -- more like "oh, what i am saying makes no sense whatsoever in any language"

if only i could sleep. but then i wouldn't have gotten all this work done....
