It's 2am.....okay ot really but close

Its 1am and I am tired but haven't been able to sleep. I need to sleep. I realize this but alas it evades me. Why does this happen? I go for days, sleep deprived and tired and the one night I can catch up on sleep I lay awake? Does this happen to anyone else? I've tried counting sheep, drinking tea, candles with "relaxing" scents.......Blech! Hmm, I gues I'll stare at the ceiling.

Typical Situation

So, what news?

1-Megan's hamster Gus escaped. Yes, Gus made it out of her cage to find haven under Alyson's bed. We have no idea, really, how long she'd been there. Luckily she was alive and a bit ornery if I do say so.

2-I am getting my car fixed, FOR FREE. Why you ask? Hmm because its a piece of shit. So, it has this insanely awful "idle vibration." It's had this "idle vibration" since I bought it but Ford said it was normal and couldn't be fixed. SO for 4 years I have been putting up with this "idle vibration" and finally my dad's mechanic found the solution. Ford has a technical bulletin out regarding the ZX2 which states that the "idle vibration" is a problem and should be fixed. So, dad and I took the car to the Ford dealership, spoke to the service manager and showed him the bulletin with all the pertinent info. highlighted. Needless to say, Wednesday my car will be going into the shop, I will be receiving a loaner car, and it will all be done for FREE! Yippie!

3-Cindy and I spent the afternoon together, studying and what not. We then decided to see Pride and Predjudice but had to wait 2 hours for the next showing. Needless to say we spent a good portion of the hours at Off 5th.
