Thanks to another bought of insomnia, the days have flemn flewn by in a blur. Thursday was a productive day of running errands I've been neglecting for awhile, as well as getting started on my taxes. Yesterday was a very interesting day. It started off on a bit of a rush, despite having no sleep in for that morning. Half way to the school I realized that I didn't get my journal for class done Thursday, so I had to crank on out in one of the labs. After class was when some real interest happened...

As I was saying before having to get back to work... I got in touch with some old friends from my previous life as an IT professional earlier in the week, and by chance, they were having a get-together on the only Friday I've had off in months. From my schedule pad, it looks like the last Friday I've had off was back in December. At any rate, last night was a much-needed feast for the soul; not just food for the soul, a feast. I got to talk with many of the guys from the old office on how much my life's changed for the better, how I got here where I am now, caught up with their lives, which sadly hadn't changed much, all while getting pleasantly inebriated on Guinness, in a kilt, while listening to an Irish punk band play, let by my apparent replacement. Put together like that, and felt like in a trance. Good company, good drinks, good music. I left last night feeling full; not just from the beer and snacks, but spiritually as well. I had a smoke to try to equall out my head. While life is wonderfully  busy productive, and full of promise, it's good to take some time off from it all and just enjoy a good moment evening with some friends. Now that I think about it, my good friend Dustin's having his birthday on Wednesday. I've work that night... but it'd still be nig nice to try to do something for him.
