Zzzzzzzzz...*zonk*

COME ON, BRAIN!  WAKE UP!  If we do what needs to be done today, we'll be sitting pretty for tomorrow's meeting.  *SLAP* WAKE UP!!!

Twitter is vexing me.  I still don't know what I have to say that would be worth twittering, and with only two tweets out there, I'm collecting more camera whores, skanks and spammers than I have real friends following me.  I'm not sure if it's even worth the trouble to keep blocking these people, but I HATE that they're there.  I wish that when you blocked someone, they'd drop from your list of followers.  I've heard it said that with twitter, like with almost everything in life, you get out of it what you put into it.  Fair enough.  I just don't know what to put into it.  I'm not a talker.  Blogging is one thing: I see it mostly as talking to myself.  Tweeting feels more like shouting at the world, ...and I got nothin'.  I am enjoying following Eddie Izzard, Wil Wheaton, Nathan Fillion and Neil Gaiman, but even then, catching up on tweets when I've been away for a few hours feels like such a timesuck.  I'm thinking this is one service that's just not for me, but I'm going to ride it out a while. Maybe something will eventually click.

It's cold this morning.  I have on socks, pants, and a sweatshirt, and I've gone back to hot coffee.  It's weird for July.  My brain knows it's July, but I keep slipping into September.

Still no rain.  I hope we get some.  My garden isn't terribly dry, but I'm sure it would still like some rain.

Speaking of my garden, I have flowers on my peas and tomatoes, the zucchini is ready to flower, and I've seen one huge bloom on one of the pumpkin vines growing beside the compost pile.  The lettuce is growing like crazy.  I pull some every day, and the lettuce bed still looks packed solid.

I'm excited for the long weekend.  I've so much I want to do, and I'm really looking forward to the fireworks.  That's one of my favorite events of the year, one of our favorite traditions.

Ok, so I'm starting to feel some enthusiasm for *something*.  I must be waking up finally.  Time to get some work done.

My ear and the left side of my head still hurt like crazy.  Now I'm getting those jolts of stabbing pain too.  Fun.  Stupid allergies!
