a night off

I had four hours of overtime by Tuesday. That probably doesn't sound like much, but I never work overtime. Work is crazy busy. My head was spinning on wednesday. I was trying to work on an important project, but I kept getting interrupted. I was supposed to visit Doug that evening, so I only worked an extra half hour. I was pretty beat in the afternoon, so I told him I wouldn't stay late. He asked if I wanted to cancel, but I didn't. If I stayed home, I would want to go back to work, and would generally be too exhausted to get anything done anyway.

So I went down about 7:00. The temp was near 80(!), so we sat in the back yard for a bit, talked and sipped some Scotch. Then we went in and played a board game he made. It wasn't going very well, and I originally wanted to leave by 10:00, but he wanted to keep playing so I did. I didn't leave until 11:00, and I was crashing, by that point. I got home at 11:00, read a magazine for a little while, then went to bed.

I never turned the computer on. LJ is pretty dead, these days, so I was able to catch up today at lunch time. I felt much better today. Almost back up to full strength, and work was more "relaxed" today.
