The Beeping, The Beeping!
May 29th, 2009Insomnia is no fun. Insomnia with beeping coming from *somewhere* overhead is even less fun. I think someone left town with their alarm on. Oy. I took a benadryl.
Meanwhile.
I’m back from California, as of Wednesday morning. Some of my favorite things from the trip:
- traveling with a suusi friend (especially since I’m not going to suusi this year)
- getting to see my favorite people, now Dr. Favorite People’s
- serendipitous free stuff (housesitting kitties = free place to stay, friend of friend out of town = free car)
- lax schedule. We did the zoo, and lots of meals with favorite people, and nothing felt If It’s Tuesday This Must Be Belgium-ish
- doing my damndest to stay awake for the graduation party (and now doing my damndest to fall asleep)
- random hot tubbing in random bathing suits
- Berkeley botanical and rose gardens
- feeding the ducks appended by plain old outlet shopping
- watching Milk as a thematic mixed media addition to the agenda, at breakfast time
- the Aye-aye’s nocturnal exhibit at the San Francisco zoo
I don’t know how much longer I can do the red eye flight. As good as it is for quelling my fears (hard to be as scared when you’re radically exhausted), my schedule takes a beating. This beeping is not helping. Out damn beep!
Good trip. If I went again in six months, I’d maintain a pattern. However, I need to go new places, so I’m thinking of inviting the Californians for long weekends elsewhere.
Oh, my nerves are rattled. The beeping seems to have stopped, but my blinds just fell down for no reason (undoing all the good work of the benadryl).
