blog about it

Moving day is upon me and I am almost finished packing. It’s all I want to think about. But I can’t because there’s everything else going on too. Class. Writing. Web design. Graphics prep. And . . . the iPhone OS4 is available tonight.

I would love to be asleep right now, after a long evening of packing and arranging and puttering and thinking and reading. My iPhone upgrade won’t let me rest. It’s taken forever it seems. And it’s likely it feels that way because I am tired, and I really want to go to sleep.

The upgrade is very close to done. I can’t go to bed and let it run because my computer is not that kind to me. It does strange things when it sleeps. I was going to turn that off but I couldn’t think of where that command was.

While I waited I tried to read my book, but it was too painful. Not that the information was killing me. It happened that laboring to keep my eyes open to read it was painful. In fact, right about now, I’m courting a lack-of-sleep headache. The reason I don’t worry about that is because I know that when my head hits the pillow, all will be forgiven.

down to my last day to pack

I wanted to do this upgrade before I moved because I won’t have internet immediately, once I’ve moved. This way, I will at least have my phone gadgets to play with when I have time to breathe. Because, I certainly won’t be able to do that tomorrow.

Tonight, my last day to pack will be a fairly light one, since most things were packed several weeks ago. I have to sleep early to make up for tonight. I get to read a lot and sleep a lot. My big plan for “everything else” is to drop it all into a box and be done with it all. A quick run to storage and sealing up all the boxes and I’ll be good to go.

That works great! Because moving time will come up quickly on Wednesday. Tonight, as I type, I am periodically checking the phone, waiting to see the “Sync in Progress” get the hell off my phone. I’m going to dive into bed and work on releasing my headache pressure.  My effort will be in the form of turning on the “White Noise” application on my phone. That way I can fall asleep to rain…

OMG!! It’s done. Restarting. Setting it’s final stuff. Restoring my software. Whatever I’ve lost, I’ll restore tomorrow. For it surely can’t take as long as this massive upgrade. With this done, I can hit publish then hit the bed.

grateful for the morning after

Also, in case I didn’t mention it: I’m very much looking forward to Thursday evening when the move will be well behind me. I say this in anticipation of being finished one major thing, grateful for having finished this piece. I’m sure I’ll need a long nap after class. Then, on to my next responsibilities. I’m grateful I’m not bored.

From one who really should be asleep, I bid you a groggy good night.
