Yesterday I left Ames around 7:45 AM, napped at a rest area along the interstate, and made it to Iowa City just after 10AM. If anybody reading this actually knows me, they could probably guess that I had a 10AM appointment that had to be rescheduled for later in the day. That's OK, though, and pretty much beside the point.

So anyway, my 'before 11AM' appointment went well, and gave me time to nap outside the home of my 1PM appointment. The nap went swimmingly. It seems that naps inside my car are the easiest to control, and I snap out of them and become alert within 1 minute or so. When I'm in bed, however, there is about a 10 minute period where I either struggle to get up, hit snooze and catch some more sleep, or lay there angry that I'm not sleeping anymore.

So anyway, I had already rescheduled the 'before 10AM' appt to 4:30 and was able to catch a quick nap on the way. Once again, I felt great and was able to get the customer taken care of no problem. I headed back to the 1PM house - since one of the computers was acting dog slow and I let it churn away when I left to do the other appointments. I ended up leaving there around 9:15, missing my 8PM nap. I had one more stop - which turned out to be great conversation with a couple that was referred to me by my old boss at the IMU. Thanks Clark!

So by the time I left and was on the road again it was 10:30 or so. I was 2 1/2 hrs late for my nap. Stopped at a rest stop and woke up when Anne called me after her show. I'll admit I overslept a pinch, but I'm OK with that...

So I made it home around 2AM to take my midnight nap. Somehow I made it through the night without more than an extra snooze or two, and I'm still kicking today. Tuesday's Iowa City trip was good. It will help us pay some bills. Going back again on Friday...

Today? Yeah, it was a good day. I got some worky work done, and fit in a jog after my 4PM nap. Then some crunches, and now I'll go to work on my arms for a bit...

Thanks for reading. Here's a treat: Jake punching himself in the face!
