frazzled part 2

One of the benefits of being kind of frazzled (flaky) is that sometimes I'll forget things and when I remember it's a pleasant surprise.  Like this recent gchat conversation I had with my sister Lizzy.

Lizzy:  What are you doing tonight?

me: Hanging out with Legolas.  I'm not sure what we're doing yet, though.

Lizzy:  Oh, you haven't hung out with him for a while.

me: I know.  It should be fun.  Tomorrow he's leaving for a cruise with his family.  He travels a lot, you know.

Lizzy:  That sounds fun for him.

me:  Yeah.  But I'm kind of bummed because I'm not sure what I'll do next weekend.  The Werewolf has to study pretty much non-stop from now until he takes his boards, so I hardly ever get to see him at all.  
me: :(
me: So, who am I going to hang out with next weekend?

Lizzy: :(
Lizzy: ......................
Lizzy:  Wait. Aren't you going to Hawaii next weekend?

me: Oh yeah.  Problem solved.  

Note:  I know that there really are any number of people I can hang out with on any given weekend.  I just spend most of my time with the Werewolf and Legolas.

I couldn't sleep last night.  This doesn't happen to me very often and when it does it just makes me crazy.  So I laid there for about twenty minutes, and then decided to get up and do something productive with my time as long as I was going to be awake.  I guess this is one of the problems with me.  Instead of watching tv or reading a book or doing whatever it is people do when they can't sleep, I propped my pillow against the wall and got all snuggled in.  I turned on one lamp to set the mood - not too bright, just enough to see by.  And then I gathered my books around me and did my chemistry homework.

The funny part is that I actually enjoyed it.  I was excited when I realized I actually do know how to find the molar mass of a substance dissolved in cyclohexane when you know the density and the freezing point depression.  Before I even realized, it was 1:30 in the morning and I was genuinely tired and able to fall asleep.  Not out of boredom, but because that's when my body happened to get tired.

I'm not sure what the moral of the story is here, I'm just glad I got my homework done.  Hopefully I can fall asleep tonight because I'm all caught up.
