Stupid Legos

It's never fun to spend National Cookout Day at work, but much worse when working by yourself after two hours of sleep.

I can't complain much, given that my boss let me work today so I can take Friday off instead. But the lack of sleep is killing me. I guess all the stuff going on in the next few weeks is starting to set in.

I just don't understand why I wasn't thinking about that last night when I was laying in bed and eventually on the sofa till 5 a.m.? No I wasn't thinking about closing on the house Wednesday, driving to Indiana Thursday or flying to Seattle on Friday. I was thinking about the Lego Batman video game I've been playing, The Reader, which we watched last night, and a steady stream of Springsteen songs.

Yep, we're about to become homeowners and then fly halfway around the world to New Zealand and I couldn't shut my brain off from Lego Robin throwing Batarangs at bad guys dressed as psychotic clowns. Well, and Kate Winslet naked. That one made more sense and helped me feel a little more normal.
