I’m feeling pretty out of it right now. I stayed up until about 2:30 last night because there were some disruptive network changes at work and I wanted to make sure they didn’t break anything that I’d be called about (and thus woken up). That went smoothly and I went to bed. Unfortunately, about an hour later I got call for what amounted to a bunch of nonsense. It kept me up for about an hour and a half and I fixed a bunch of other stuff that was revealed to me after the original problem.

This means I got a late start on the day – rolling out of bed around noonish.

After convincing Corinne to make me pancakes, we went to the dive shop so I could get a tank for a few hours to make sure all of our gear was working fine. We haven’t dove since the end of September, so it’s good to give everything a once-over. The only thing that needed tending was getting new batteries for the dive computers.

I also trucked Corinne over to Target so she could get some warm weather clothes. Being oncall, I’m always hyper-aware of time and when some of our automated processes fire off (as problems will usually revolve around these set times more often than not). Luckily for me, she powered through the shopping and we were out of there in no time.

After dropping off the scuba tank, I grabbed some food and fell asleep on the couch for a little while. Nothing too crazy – maybe 20 minutes – but now I’m just foggy and want to sleep for a long time. I probably won’t – but that’s what I’m feeling like.
