I'm awake!!! Mostly.

I had a hard time sleeping.  So much so, that I slept through the 6:00 AM alarm clock that I'd been waking up to most of this week.

Normally I don't use the alarm clock, because my family is up and making so much dang noise that I can't sleep past 7:00 AM or so anyway.

My cell phone alarm reminding me to take my pills woke me up.

As you've seen this week, I've been battling some sort of allergy/cold with lots of post nasal drip.  Well last night/this morning, I got woken up by pain the right sinus area just under the eye.  Dang thing really hurt!

So, I got up, took some dayquil, and laid back down on my left side and fell to sleep.

This presents a problem... Sleeping on my left side shuts out my hearing to the world... mostly.

I've lost most of the hearing in my right ear.  Been that way since I was a kid.

So, I got up and had breakfast "on a stick"... (Ok, for Jose Jalapeno... On a "steeck")

Ever see these things yet?

I found them at Wal-Mart.  They're basically a pancake/sausage corn-dog-like microwave food.

Not too bad, they might even taste better if I had syrup to dip them in.  I think my wife took the syrup with her camping, instead of making a fresh batch on the camp stove.

My left knee aches now, and I'm just in a tired, worn out state.

Today, I'm burning some sandalwood stick incense and it's not too bad.  I usually prefer the scent of Opium.

I've never smoked/injected any drugs nor have I ingested any drugs that weren't prescribed to me.  So, I don't know why I like the smell of Opium, but I do.  Perhaps, if I wasn't a "Mormon dude" (I hate the term Mormon, but it's shorter than typing out the full name of my church.), I'd probably visit an Opium den.

Well, enough with that crap... I'm listening to the "Bar J Wranglers" singing cowboy songs, so I'm going to wrap up this blog entry and get to work...
