(no subject)

I managed to get quite a bit of work done yesterday, but today I'm back to wanting to do nothing but sleep. I realized I was going to have a problem when I woke up after nine hours of sleep and wanted nothing more than to go back to bed. I tried to fend it off with a run on the treadmill, but that only worked for a couple of hours. My prospects for work did not improve when I turned on my computer and realized that I'd set it to run scandisk. That took about half an hour, during which I started reading Foucault's Pendulum to pass the time. Bad, bad idea. I can never put a novel down once I start to read it, and I know it. Now my day looks like this:

Take nap
Wake up
See book lying conveniently beside me
Pick up book and guiltily read a few more pages
Sit down at desk and resolutely open Word file to begin work
Quickly check email, LJ, and assorted forums for updates
Become overwhelmed by need for another nap after all that reading
Repeat

On top of that, I was supposed to meet a friend at noon. I couldn't remember whether we had decided to meet at my office or home--we discussed both--so I decided to stay home, figuring that if she couldn't reach me at one, she'd call me at the other. I still haven't heard from her, which leads me to believe that she probably tried me at the office and forgot to bring my home phone number with her. Of course, I couldn't get anything done during the two hours when there was still a realistic chance that I'd hear from her.

So, let's try again. I've got about ninety minutes until I have to leave for class. I've got a mug of spiced cocoa made from the LCBO's holiday magazine and a couple of raspberry cookies. Let's see what I can get done...
