Toilet Paper and Insomnia

Rule #1: Do not buy ultra-strong toilet paper.

Toilet paper apparently comes in ultra-strong and ultra-soft, but not both. Ultra-strong has a weave like cloth and is great for digging around in your ears for stray wax, but it is not soft. Switching from ultra-soft to ultra-strong is an especially unfortunate experience to make yourself go through.

Enough about TP.

I can't sleep lately. I get home from work and I'm tired, so tired I can't do anything but mindlessly level my wow alt (gnome rogue, level 25, yeah baby!) Then, I eat dinner and drink some tea and eat snack and eat a few spoonfuls of sugar (literally, yes, terrible habit, I know), and then I'm awake and awake and awake. I count animals but it doesn't help. I sit up doing more mindless things on my computer and that doesn't help either. I should be in bed right now.

The only time I'm tired is in that period right after I get home from work, when I am exhausted. Yesterday, I took a 3 hour nap then and then tried to go to bed early instead of raiding (haha, didn't happen, but I did talk to the folks, so that was good). I'm glad I missed the raid too. Apparently, it was a disaster. Catastrophic to the point where in light of our late trend of raiding fail, the GM cancelled tonight's raid. Thus, I will have 5 consecutive nights without raiding this week, Insha'Allah, and I've already managed not to get sleep on 3 going on 4 of them. By sleep I mean more sleep than my usual 3-4 hours a night.

I'm hoping that staying up after Fajr in the mornings will help. Maybe I'll be tired at night. I need to update Kith's wishlist. We have a new kickass hunter who is chasing me for first on dps most of the time, except now he beats me because I'm surv. It isn't nearly as much of a gimp as I thought though, which is how it is each time I go surv. I want his breathing a little further behind my neck though. :P I outgear him by a lot, too. I wonder if macroing would make the difference. That, and getting the badge bow. I need to work on that stuff next week. Right now, I need to head to bed and try to sleep, and this weekend I need to FINISH STUDYING FOR AND TAKE THE STUPID, BUT NECESSARY, MATH PLACEMENT TEST FOR REAL ALREADY. *and breathe.* :)

Alrighty, bedtime. Insha'Allah, I can sleep tonight.

My posture looks horrible in the mirror. Also, my hair is fuzzy and needs a good wash, which I can't do because I can't retighten until I get home...next week. :( This is getting old.

I'm considering doing Yoga all summer, every day, and then either joining Wushu or going back to Taekwondo in the Fall. I want to do the NY Skate marathon this year too. Originally, I wanted Athens 2 Atlanta but 1)It's too far to skate without logistical help from the bros and Abuyya, 2)I don't think I have time to start training after all the stuff I need to finish before I start training, and 3)ZOMG, stop starting with the hardest thing you can do! So, the plan is NY Skate Marathon this year and then try to go for Athens next year, maybe.

Bedtime, bedtime, bedtime, sleeeepytime. :)

Salaams, folks
