basketball was good today. i resisted temptation to be lazy, and i played for the second time this week. i shot 75%! haha, that meant that i only attempted four shots, and made three of them. the one i missed was a bunny layup; i gotta remember to use the glass next time. i guess i was just too excited to have such an open layup. and what's weird is that this week, i didn't get headaches, and i'm happy about that. i really needed the exercise because i've been stressed, and i think i'm feeling a lot better now. of course, the ECO from hell is still waiting, and i've started to examining the code. yeah, it's gonna be a doozy!
speaking of stress, though, i didn't sleep very well last night. i had insomnia again. i had very restless sleep all throughout the night, waking up often and just laying there, unable to get prolonged periods of shuteye. finally, i got up at 3-4am and took some xanax to knock myself out. it was tough getting out of bed this morning. yeah, it must have been the stress. being a touretter and all, i'm very watchful of my daily rhythms, and i notice the slightest perturbations of my stress level.

so a friend of mine found jay's plastic surgery advertisement on craigslist. basically, he's offering 50% off on a number of various cosmetic procedures that he's offering. i wonder if he's gotten any responses. i know jay's going to be a great surgeon and all, but i don't know if i'd trust a relative newcomer to such an important operation. how do new doctors get business in the beginning? anyways, i wonder if jay's decided where he's going to set up shop. there was word that he might land in LA, which would be cool because that would mean that i would be more likely to visit him.
i got a letter from my credit card company the other day. they wanted me to call them immediately because of some suspicious charges. i got worried, so i gave them a ring. it turned out that two of my purchases raised a red flag: one was a large purchase when i bought my herbal supplements in bulk (that was like $700 for a 4-month supply), and the other was my annual web hosting renewal. so *phew* it was a relief, but i was definitely glad that they're monitoring my credit card activity. fyi, yes, i do go through my statement every month to make sure that there are no weird transactions.
to do this ECO from hell, i need a week of supreme focus. you know, like how they treat a pitcher who's throwing a no-hitter. have you seen that before? it's pretty funny, actually. when a pitcher's throwing a perfect game or a no-hitter, the rest of the team totally avoids him when he's in the dugout. he's off alone at one end, and nobody talks to him at all. it's an interesting sight. but yeah, i get so distracted at work, with e-mails (both work and personal), and i get so many interrupts with this and that task.
ok, i gotta go. time for a smoke break, and i think i'm gonna take off early after working a little bit more.
