Still wrecked, but not so badly?
March 29th, 2016
When I woke up this morning, I felt like I was stepping out of a fog bank. Sure, it was just a bit foggy outside, but that's not exactly what I mean. No, it was like, I could actually think a bit more clearly than I recall before. Yeah, I'm still beat after all the overtime and lack of sleep I've been dealing with over the last few months, on and off, but I'm feeling a little better already.
I'll probably need a few more days of proper rest before I feel normal again, for a given value of such, but I think once my sleep catches up with me, and after I wind down from all the months and months of racing ahead of deadlines, I'm going to actually be able to focus on things again. Sort of like my writing, here. I'm trying to elucidate what I'm thinking, here, and all I got is 'uhhh'.
I'm surprised I've at least managed to keep updating this site every day. I know some of those updates show up a tad late, and I do like to polish what I've concocted at least a little bit, but I've nonetheless been publishing gibberings each day. Heck, I've almost written more updates to this site this year than I have since I first scored this domain for a mere snippet of a song.
It still amazes me that I grabbed it off the previous owners for only a hundred bucks. They'd wanted twenty nine times that amount, but through sheer indifference I managed to beat them down to the value I ultimately paid. In other words, I sent the offer and forgot about it, until they decided they were making more by selling to me than by squatting on the domain. Yay for indifference!
I haven't managed that with the top secret domain I'm attempting to get my hands on for the punchline to my lifetime of nerd work, but they keep sending me e mails about it. They seem to think that thirty five thousand dollars is a fair price a domain, but I beg to differ. I probably won't manage the same sexy deal that I did with this one, but I suppose you never know. Color me optimistic.
Which is I guess me in a nutshell right now. I see all kinds of possibilities just around the corner, or over that next hill, or whatever geographical analogy you prefer. For the first time in months, I am not just here, I'm actually thinking about what comes next. And that's better than just working and sleeping every day, which will only be a part of my time expenditure for the foreseeable future.
Bonus, right?
