Let's knock the dust off of this thing

Has it really been that long since I've posted? Wow. This week has had a bit of the suck to it. Last night was the first good night's sleep I've gotten, and I needed Tylenol PM to get it (don't confuse that for Tylenol BM either; you'll regret that decision the next day). I think it's finally worn off and I'm really waking up. A big reason why sleep left me this week was that my mind just refused to shut off at night. That always equals no sleep for Matt. That's just how I'm wired. The predominant thing keeping me awake is even a good thing, at least it might be a good thing. I am genuinely the suck at reading people though, so who really knows? Well, God does, but other than him, who? Okay, so she probably knows too...at least for her part. It's not like I'm not trusting God either. It's not worrying about the situation that keeps me from sleeping, it's the endless running-through of possibilites and overanalyzing that I do that keeps me awake. Again, that's just who I am.

There are two things that have happened since my last post that are of note. Admittedly, one is more exciting than the other. Number the first is that I got the tube taken out of my ear. You're probably saying to yourself "aren't tubes for little kids?". Yes, they usually are. I'm a part of the lucky small percent of the population that got to have one again as an adult. Now it's out and I'm just waiting for the hole in my eardrum to heal shut. I can't wait for the day when I can take a shower again without needing an ear plug. Number the second is that I fixed my toilet Monday night. It was working, but it was wasting all kinds of water, which is not environmentally or finacially sound. For a $10 and about 45 min investment, the toilet now shuts off surprisingly quickly after flushing.

This week is exciting with T-giving coming up too because my brother, sister-in-law, and niece are coming to visit. Here are a couple of pics of my niece. Go ahead, say it with me in a lilting voice: awwwww.
