Made some calls...

Today was OK, I suppose. I got some stuff done, mainly calling in for med refills and worked on getting a couple of appointments together (more on that another time, but nothing to worry about). It's better than having not been productive at all, but it doesn't feel like the 'win' that it should. Enh.

Last night/this morning was kinda weird ("was" instead of "were" as I'm lumping them together as one). I wasn't terribly tired, but mainly just didn't want to go to bed, so I ended up staying up until noon or so. Part of it was that I waited too long to shower, so I had to put it on hold until after my parents were out of the bathroom. I was too woozy to bathe the night before, so I was more intent on cleaning up this morning. And it's not that I was terribly dirty, either, but I enjoy showering and don't like having any unnecessary funk on me, especially before going to bed. I really don't like going to bed dirty. Then, since I knew I'd be up, I figured I may as well make those calls.

I'm surprised I'm not more tired considering I didn't sleep much or very well. I mostly left messages when I called in the morning, and they kept calling me back. It's rare that I get such timely replies, and while I appreciate the quick responses, I wouldn't have minded them answering tomorrow after having let me sleep today. But it all worked out. I got most of the stuff squared away, and I'm not too much worse for the wear.

I'm really starting to enjoy this blogging stuff. At first--and I know I'm still just getting started, but--I had to make myself take the time to do it. It was a little more of a chore. I still have to fight through how I'm feeling, but it's becoming more a matter of simply reminding myself to write instead of forcing myself to get it done. Looking at the tracking statistics from Google Analytics (which I set up because I knew you lazy buggers wouldn't comment all the time :D), it was encouraging to see that people were checking this out more and more each day. Then I saw how the numbers were a bit skewed because they also incorporated my views, including my previews of in-progess blogs, which wasn't immediately clear. Even without my page hits, it seems to be catching on a little. I would definitely like to see it become more popular, though.

I do realize that a lot of what I write about isn't all that interesting (believe me, I know--I'm living it) and that everyone is busy with this and that. I do hope to talk more about specific topics more often, like MMA yesterday...maybe about some current events, poems or songs, perhaps some technical stuff...whatever. Your suggestions (again, not stupid ones, though...lol...I know it's silly, but it cracks me up every time I do that :P) would really help with and would be greatly appreciated. I want this to be interactive and not just me talking about how boring my day was. Ask me questions--I can't think of anything I won't answer...or am I that uninteresting? I'm sure my situation makes me seem less compelling, but there's a lot to me that people don't realize, and I am much more than my circumstances allow me to actively show on a regular basis.

Once again, please let me know that you've read this in whatever manner you find easiest, and doing so anonymously is A-OK. Feedback/suggestions/commentary are encouraged, too. Thanks for reading, thanks to those who do respond, and have an awesome day :)!

P.S.
It's looking like the UFC PPV watch is on for Saturday, let me know if you're interested. It'll be a good time.
