It Felt Like Two Days

Ever have one of those days that either has been so active or where the first half of your day and second are different enough that they feel like they could not have happened in the same day? Today was one of those days for me. Around 6 pm today I realized that events I thought occured yesterday were actually earlier this morning.

I was woken up by a phone call at 10:30 am. I ignored it, but the damage was done, I was awake. Then about 15 minutes later my roommates phone rings (which I can hear) and it's the same person who called me. I get out of bed and go to my computer to see an IM from another friend and I assume - people are trying to organize going out to breakfast.

I was wrong - the two things were unrelated (the IM and phone call) and the caller just wanted to get outside. I appreciate the outdoors (which you have come to realize) but at 10:30 I want to sleep.

Amongst several other things today, we grilled. Tonight after mentioning it casually earlier, I wanted to pursue my previous half-hearted offer to grill tonight. We picked up a table-top style charcoal grill from a friend and invited some friends over and had a little barbeque. We made chicken, hot dogs, and burgers on the grill as well as a pasta salad, house salad, and french fries. It was great. Next time - start earlier. We started grilling at 10 pm, and it was a bit dark and a bit cool, but great nonetheless.

I know it is March, but it felt like summer.

(This is what happens when you have one of those days. It's exhausting, and you're falling asleep before 6 pm.)
