Sleeping in

Only the time change in the Spring allows one to sleep in until 11am and not feel guilty about it.

Where did my sleep go?

I should be sleeping right now. I should also be plugged into the wall. Well, not me, my laptop. I have 13 minutes of battery left. I went to bed at 7pm tonight to try to fight the funk I feel in my throat. Prior to this, I took the advice of a friend and ate a clove of garlic. Holy crap, what an experience that was! I can still taste it. Luckily no one has to suffer through my garlic-y aroma right now. I do have a dentist appointment in the morning at 7am. My normal 6 month cleaning. As I look at the clock, that appointment is only 6 hours away. Luckily I slept from 7pm to 10pm, but I fear this late night awake thing will make me sleepy when it is time to get up. My alarm is set for 5:15.. ugh. This is the most random entry yet... maybe it was the garlic.

Detour

There was a chemical spill on the interstate this afternoon. I know all the back roads between my house and Nashville, so that wasn't a problem. What *was* a problem, was my insatiable desire to see what happened. I wanted to know what spilled, what caused it to happen, and take pictures of it all. Unfortunately, I was not able to do this, because of all the road blocks and blue lights. I suppose if I would have hiked five miles through the woods, I could have gotten a glimpse of something, but I didn't have a camera with a flash, and it was getting late.

The news on the radio didn't know what the chemical was that spilled. How can they not know? If it was hazardous enough to close several miles of interstate, shouldn't they know what it is? I am going to wonder about it until I can dig up some news article about what really happened.

I'm just so perplexed!
