Las Vegas kicked my ass.

This year’s CES was officially a beat down. My feet hurt, my back hurts and I may have slept for 12 hours in the past 6 days.

I can’t wait to go home.

Out of it.

I had one of those days today where I felt completely out of it. I felt off. I didn’t feel like myself.

I don’t know why or what caused it, but it felt crappy and I hope a good night’s sleep will cure me of it.

Good weekend.

1 year ago weekend to do work sleep errands

Out of it.

I have been feeling so out of it lately. During my long vacation over the holidays, I got used to staying up late, sleeping in and even taking a nap in the afternoon. Then immediately following my time off, I was back to work for one day and then off to Las Vegas for six days.

The combination of too much food, too much alcohol, lack of sleep and long days over the trip has just taken its toll on me. This week I haven’t been able to fall asleep at my usual 10pm-ish time (pre-holidays) and I wake up feeling like a zombie, which lasts most of the morning at work.

I’d like to say I can’t wait for the weekend so I can sleep, but Friday and Saturday are already shaping up to be busy. It will be nice to wake up Saturday and Sunday morning without an alarm clock though.

Time for some more caffeine…

Under pressure.

I have a crazy day at work tomorrow with back-to-back-to-back meetings. I do well under pressure, so I am looking forward to successfully tackling the day, even though I am slightly freaking out in my head.

I have a feeling I am going to be tossing and turning all night.

And I am pretty ticked off that I didn’t go to the gym tonight. I guess I could have gone to the gym, but after all was said and done and I turned off my computer, I just wanted to put my pajamas on and eat some dinner. So I came home.

Now it is 9:41pm and I am going to bed.
