It was a productive day. I woke up WAY too late - 3pm! But I slept good. I did not get to sleep until past 5:30 in the morning, and when I started waking up, I thought it was early. I was expecting to see 10:00 on the bedside clock (the alarm clock is in the bathroom!). So, I turn over and look at it. I was quite shocked to see 2:58. Was I sure this wasn't 12:58?! It wasn't. So, I jumped up pissed at myself for wasting the day.

Afterwards, I got a call from Dad, and I called Sean because he was going to stop by and help me remove the xmas lights finally (and he wanted his sunglasses he left behind). So, he said he would come soon, so I started washing the truck. It needed it. It's nice and clean now - at least the outside. I did not clean the tires yet. Maybe later, after I get good tire cleaning stuff.

Just as I finish with that, Sean shows up. So, I break out the stairway to heaven (ladder), and we start taking down the lights. All he really did was spot me on the ladder, but that's what I really needed. So, the lights are finally down! Yay!

After that, I fired up the grill and cooked off some dinner. I really need to go shopping, I am just about out of nearly everything! heh.. But I had everything necessary for BBQ burgers and hotdogs. We also watched some ReplayTV for a while. It's great to be able to get in an hour show in 45 minutes or so. Then, we headed up to the computer room where we did a little research for a song he wanted to find. The thing was he dosen't know the name, the artist, any of the lyrics, or what it sounds like. That went well. But at least I got to scroll through a lot of good songs. Also, Latitia called, and we talked to her on the speakerphone for a while.

On a positive note, I was able to locate a hinge for my laptop! Yay! Not too expensive either - it cost more for shipping. So I should have that back up and running again soon. They did not have any keyboards in stock, or I would have gotten one of those too. If you look at the picture again, it is that black piece at the bottom that is dead. That's all I need, not the whole thing seen. But a fully assembled piece should do good too. I thought of getting another battery or a DVD drive, but I didn't. For the time being, I'll be using my minidisk player for my nighttime music, and no bed websurfing. How long can I last? That laptop has sure helped me not be glued to my computer room for too long. Without it, I would surely have set up a workstation in the bedroom. heh..

On another note, I finally caved in and filled out a profile on E-Harmony. I was convinced after talking to Justina about it. I don't much care for these things, but we'll see what comes of it.

Oh, and I forgot to mention my doctor's appointment on Friday. It went well, I seem to be in good health. I did take a blood test, I think it was just for triglycerides (cholesterol). But I've been eating better lately, and been getting lower and lower numbers each time I donate blood (they tell you your cholesterol number). He is sending me a referral to a sleep specialist, as he and I both think I have sleep apnea. He also prescribed me some nasal spray, I think it is to help open up my nasal passageway, as that may be something causing the apnea. He also told me to get some of those nose strips that help open the nasal passageway, and see if that helps. Eventually, I will make it to the supermarket. I better bring a list!
