The thing about insomnia is...

... you start stressing about the sleep you're NOT getting, which keeps you up even longer than you would have been otherwise.

On the plus side, I've gotten assorted small things done and/or together for tomorrow that I would probably otherwise have forgotten, along the lines of "take travel mug out of dishwasher so you don't forget it," and "email reminder to self about work stuff for first thing in the morning."

On the not-so-plus side, I'm going to be short of sleep tomorrow. Sigh.

And now Trout's prowling around wondering if I'll let him out, and if I'm coming back to bed, and if so, can he possibly be Very Sneaky and squeeze between us into the warmest spot.

Back to bed for me.

Books o' the day

Since troutkitty is in Edmonton with the car, I'm taking the bus in to work this week. It's not too bad, one bus all the way up, and a five-minute walk to the bus stop on either end. It does mean an extra half-hour of travel time either way, which is why I usually drive. However, I think I'll be averaging two to three books a day this week, especially since I've been reading through some of the nominations for YALSA's 2006 Best Books for Young Adults.

Day One:

( Order of the Poison Oak by Brent Hartinger (GLBT YA) )

( Flip by David Lubar (SF/F YA) )

( The Boyfriend List (15 guys, 11 shrink appointments, 4 ceramic frogs, and me, ruby oliver) by E. Lockhart. (YA girl book) )

Annnd this headache is catching up to me, so I think I'm off to bed early tonight. Bleh.
