Just Me and the Crickets

Yay, it's 11:35 pm and ...... well, now it's 11:44 pm. Why the nearly 10 minute delay in one sentence? Stupid blogger here accidentally turned on (or turned off, I'm not sure) the "filter keys" (whatever those are) and pretty much jacked up the lower case/upper case. Yeah -- I'm smart.


p.s. Why does this woman have a mullet?

For those 9 minutes, I felt like Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day" -- each minute consisted of me, dumbfounded and frustrated, holding down the shift key and counting to 8 for the little filter-key window to pop. Once it popped up, was I able to effectively fix the problem? Well, since it took 9 minutes to correct my idiocy, the answer is obviously and emphatically NO!!!!!!!!!

Ugh! This post was supposed to be about how I'm having bouts of insomnia . . . how I've spent each night this week up till nearly 5 am . . . how tonight is probably going to be the same . . . how I might as well stay up because the Little Lady and I have to catch the red-eye to Tulsa (dang, is that a country song or what?).

But, no -- this post ends up highlighting how ridiculous I am and how I can manage to write a post about nothing.

I sooooo do not "rock" tonight.

We all have moments like this. Atleast we didn't go crazy from it. Right? Just kidding!

I hate it when stuff like that happens and you have to figure out what is going on...I'm in laptop meltdown mode...I'm working in safe mode until I can figure out what's going on, so everything is huge..well, that's actually good for my 47 year old eyes...

Whoa, girl. Calm down. It's going to be OK.

As for the insomnia...something bothering you? Something up?

Try warm milk. If nothing else it will make you throw up and then you will be so tired from the retching that you will fall asleep.

Hang in there!

Hmmm, a post about "nothing." Very Seinfeldish...I like it!

Kristy said...

Kris said...

Sometimes Nothing is Something. :)

Hope you have a safe trip

mrsbear said...

Aw, hope you catch some zzzz somewhere in there.

Lindsay said...

Well, you managed to write a post that was about nothing, really funny though - so, indeed, you still rock. :-) Happy travels, and get some sleep!!

Chris said...

I feel like I post about nothing all the time. I feel your frustration, and I hope things improve. And "Catching the Red-Eye to Tulsa" is a country song.
I wrote it.

I have many many late nights....for no reason at all. It's the only time alone I have, so maybe that's it. I TRY to catch up on blogs and get lessons ready. I never know where the time goes, so I can relate to how an error would cause you to lose so much time.

Rest and nap when you can!!
