Overachieving Again

I'm packed and almost ready to leave Houston for the 2005 Texas Blogfest. Assorted errands and preparations last night kept me up until 1:30, then up at 6:15 to load car, lay out 2 days of kitty provisions and everything else you need to do to be gone for 3 days. I'm doing too damned many things today. I ought to cancel the Dr.'s appt. I have this morning, or the trip over to Fort Worth to see Rockhauler in favor of getting a few hours more sleep. Ghod knows I'll be up until 2 or 3 today after a 4.5 hour drive and jaunting all over the Metroplex, then repeat the sleep deprivation all through the weekend. I'm surprised I don't nod off at the wheel.

No, I'll do what I always do, try to cram too much in 'cause I hate telling people "no", and just go into zombie mode during the day. I swear I almost faded off into sleep the other day in my boss's office. It almost makes you want to get on the Elvis wagon of uppers & downers to keep you awake in the day and asleep at night. I have no wish to die while squatting on the can, though.

OK, I'm rambling, and I need to get the car loaded. See all y'all up at Humperdinck's in Addison tonight. I'll be the sleepy guy with the "El Capitan" hat on.
