When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep, and you're never really awake.

There isn't enough rain in my ice.
So yesterday I was busy on client visits most of the day. It always feels good to me when I show up at a customer site and help them with their issues. I dunno maybe I'm crazy, but sometimes it's like being a superhero. I love meeting and working with new people, and when you're there to "save the day" they're always happy to see you. :) Most of the time it doesn't take hours and hours to get the problem solved, usually the reason I'm out for the whole day is travel time. Traffic is a bear around this city sometimes, it's a fairly old town and streets are all wonky and small. (not that I drive a huge SUV or anything.)

I did get my personal site issues straightened out with the registrar and all that last night, so now it's at least resolving. I got the webmail set up and address forwarding for family members etc, now I just have to finish putting the content in place. I'm glad that's finally marginally functional.

Had dinner with some old friends of mine and we sat at the restaurant chatting till almost 11pm. Unfortunately for me I have a 35 mile drive home from downtown Cincinnati, so it was a good 11:45 by the time I got home. Okay, maybe it was actually midnight because I stopped at my post office box on the way. I live in a teeny tiny village way east of here. Farm country, and I have to say that Ohio is very pretty in the autumn.

My dad got back into town yesterday so I think I'm gonna' spend some time with him this weekend. I'm not sure how long he's here for though, it's usually not more than a week or so before he's gone again for 5-6 weeks. I'll take my cat Lucy over to see him tonight I think. For some silly reason, she completely adores my dad. I guess it's not silly cuz he is a nice guy and all, but it's strange for her to be so lovy with someone other than me.

Anyway it's a dreary rainy day here today and I love it, I have no idea why rainy days make me happy. At lunch when it's raining sometimes I go out in the parking garage and sit in my car with the windows down to eat. It's got something to do with the smell of the air I guess. I don't suppose I've mentioned that autumn is my favorite time of year now have I? :)
