Wow! It's 11:31.  I really stayed up past my bedtime.  That is pretty unusual for me.  I have this thing that when I am away doing something for the evening and get home after being away I feel like I have missed out on something so I make up for it by staying up late.  Tonight we were at John and Lora's for dinner with that old relief society group and husbands and didn't get home until after 9:30.  I turned into my make up for lost time mode and found a Steven Segal movie and it just got over.  I believe that my wonderful wife probably got tired of waiting for me and has gone to bed.  After all, she has to get up at 6.  We have another dinner to go to tomorrow night.  But I am looking forward to just working in my office all day.  I enjoyed today's work as much as I have enjoyed any day in a long time.  I didn't start out that way so I forced myself to do some real basic tasks and worked myself into a 'zone' and kept going doing stuff and I was actually very productive.  I also felt quite a bit better physically as well.  I am still bothered with a sore throat.  Now its on the other side and I will need to take some alka-seltzer when I finish here in hopes of making for a good night's sleep.  Funny, Sheila gags by just thinking about alka-seltzer and I find it the best thing for me to use right now.  It will take me several minutes to do all of my end of day ritual so I probably won't get to bed until just after 12, but I really don't feel that tired.  Maybe I'm just feeling a bit pumped up from our evening out.  So I expect that I will crash here soon and feel the need for sleep when my body recognizes that it is so much past my bed time.  I just realized that after tomorrow it'll be 1/3 of the month.  E-gad.  The new year just started!  The longer I keep at this the sorer my throat gets and the more tired I realize I am, so good night and Happy New Year.
