Insomnia #1

What you will soon find out is that with working the night shift mostly, but having to work one day shift, is that on Tuesday nights into Wednesday (my day shift) I do not tend to sleep well. Tonight is a great example. I went to bed at 1030 and woke up at 1am and haven't been able to sleep since. Now it is 420... hehe... and I have to be up at 545 in order to make into work on time. Yeah. It's going to be a rough day.

Speaking of rought days. How was your Christmas? Mine kind of blew. Actually it was pretty decent for the most part. Got up early. (For me, 11am) Played some video games. Dom and I opened our Stockings. (I get one every year from my father and Sarah, and I bought Dom a new Superman Tshirt as his old one was all ragged.) Played some more video games. Saw AVP:R. Came home and watched The Incredibals on TV. Went to bed. Not bad. Well except for the middle part.

Dom and I live about a mile and a half from the movie theater and I thought that it would be good exercise to walk down there and back. We were going to go to the 210pm show and we left at 135pm. Now I have done this walk a few times since moving here as the theater is in Downtown Glendale, but yesterday I couldn't do it. We got about 4 blocks out and my shins just about gave out on me. So we had to turn around and get the car. I have never felt this out of shape in my life. I mean I couldn't walk 4 blocks. The weird thing is that I wasn't out of breath or anything. It's not like I was exhausted, I just couldn't go through the pain. (Later, since we missed the 210 show and had to bum around till 4pm for the next, we walked around Glendale at least 6 blocks and I was fine...) It was just a sad wake up call for me. How fat and out of shape have I become that I couldn't even make it 4 blocks?

Next time I reach for a slice of pizza or a soda I need to remember that horrible pain and the humiliation that I felt having to turn around and walk back to get a car to go less then two miles. That was more of an ego blow then any sort of failed interaction with a woman.
