This morning was one of those mornings when I could not seem to drag myself out of bed.  I need to start going to bed earlier or something.  Actually I did go to bed a bit early for me last night, but only about 15 – 20 minutes.

The clock went off this morning and I hit the snooze a couple of times.  I then actually got out of bed and brushed my teeth.  Than I looked at my watch and figured I could lay down for another five minutes.  That turned into 15 minutes and so I was a little late getting online with Laila.

When I got downstairs and fired up the PC Skype was giving me fits but finally loaded.  I had my coffee and we did our morning routine.  I got out of the house on time, got to work a bit early and lit off all the equipment for the labs today.  I have enough time to go get breakfast but on the way in today I started getting heartburn and feeling a bit sick so I will skip that.  If I start feeling any worse I will maybe take a sick day.  I drank some water and that seems to have calmed the stomach down.

It looks like the weather is going to be a bit cooler today.  That will be great as it has been really hot here for about the past two weeks.  I have not used the AC in the house yet this summer since we are trying to save a bit on electricity.  I haven’t checked the bill for this month yet, but we have managed to cut it in half in the past three months and I owe that to the cooperation of the kids. 

Laila had me sign up for another game last night and it is another one that I will not have time to play.  It is one where you get more points as people sign up for it and I signed up so she could get her points but I will never have time to play it.  I am already on game overload. 

I think one of the reasons I am so tired is that I was taking a nap for an hour or so when I came home the past few weeks.  Now I have been coming home and going straight to the PC to get caught up on the games.  I need to get that nap back into my schedule. 

Last night my long awaited new week of “Hell’s Kitchen” came on and all the fire trucks and stuff were staged as part of the next chore.  Both teams on the show need to start working as a team.  We then watched “America’s Got Talent” and it was quite the disappointment.  Rather than show any acts it had the judges eliminating folks.  Judy stopped watching and went to her PC.  After it was obvious there would be no acts I turned it off and watched “NCIS” which I had recorded on the DVR.  It is a shame when a rerun gets more interest in the household than a new episode of something.

Yesterday I blogged about how the networks are just putting crap on.  How many versions of these dating games do we have to be subjected to?  I don’t watch them but now you have one where people meet in the dark, last night was one for overweight folks.  Enough all ready with the dating games, I don’t believe anyone watches them anyway.

Well folks are starting to show up now so I had better get ready to start the work day.  I usually get here about half an hour before everyone else does because I hate being late.  It also gives me time to get everything prepared for what I am going to do that day.  Now that everyone is coming in I have to get this closed up and get ready for the work day which actually does not start for another 15 minutes.  I just have this as a normal habit that I have carried on since my Navy days.  Better to be an hour early than 1 second late.  So let me get this saved and get ready for the work day.
