Oh man. How many times do you let yourself set simple expectations just to have even the most basic assumptions get dashed. It is the middle of the night thursday and we are trouble shooting the monitor Carolyn is hooked up to. We began our first one hour monitoring at 8:45 as soon as we were given instructions on how to use it. At 9:45 we began to send the data to the company that revues the results. The firs attempt didn't work, so we trouble-shot the issues for 45 minutes until we finally had it all worked out and they said to try monitoring for another hour and report back to them.

Our basic assumption was that for the first time in a week we would be able to have an uneventful evening at home and get a good nights sleep. Not gonna happen. Instead I am going in to work tomorrow one again looking like I barely survived a night out with the cast of Animal House. This means I will be splurging tomorrow morning on the ay into work and stopping by Starbucks. My drink of choice when open eyes are desperately needed...Medium (grande?) Iced Americano, no room. This has enough kick to get me going fairly quickly and hopefully keep me awake and productive for a couple hours. Only time will tell.
