So these days I seem to be struggling with finding the right level of food at night. I'm trying not to over eat but if I don't get enough dinner, I am up at 2am and cranky. I don't think I've found that I can eat too much. Lately I feel like I'm eating 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 2 dinners, since I tend to split up meals and spread them out over a couple of hours to stave off hunger/grouchiness. If I find myself weepy or grouchy, that usually means that its time to go raid the kitchen for something solid. This happened last night. I got chinese for myself (wonton soup, friend wontons and 2 spring rolls) and man was I hungry by 4am. Of course, as soon as I eat Tobo gets a blood sugar rush (doesn't matter what it is) and starts dancing. He can really kick now, though he seems to get himself turned sideways, so when I'm lying on my side its like he's pushing off the bed and kicking at the same time. What is weirder is I can pretty much sleep through it.

Paul is doing well, though he's coming to the end of a long week. He's back on a plane tomorrow to start his "double saturday." He starts traveling sat his time and arrives 22 hours later on sat our time. Tentative reports is that the IT meeting has gone well but I'm sure there will be more on that later. As for me I've felt pretty productive this week, (except for last night) I got a few thank-you's in the mail, took good will to be dropped off, feed and clothed myself for a few days, etc. The house still looks like a moving van blew up in it, but a lot of this stuff I wouldn't be allowed to move anyway. My mantra this week has been "don't move furniture until paul's home." My to do list is still a couple of pages long though. I guess one step at a time. :/

We got a couple of inches of snow last night, which no one bothered to plough this morning. So my 30 minute commute took 1.5 hours to complete. The roads weren't even that bad, but everyone was driving like they were in white out conditions. Can I say, I'm quite happy about having a garage now? No digging out! The only problem is that the car and I can barely fit in it together. Since we are in Colorado, most of the roads were dry and salted by 5pm today, with the snow melting in places. Most of it will melt away this weekend as we go into another couple of days of 30ish sunny weather. So that was probably the only really bad day of driving for a few days anyway. I'm counting the number of days until the commute is over. (15)

Well, I should probably go crash so I am not too sleepy when I wake up at 2. I think I'm resigned to not getting a full night's sleep again until 2010. Nite!
