It’s a little tough watching stuff on my iPad while I write. So far I haven’t figured out how lock the Docs app on one side of the screen with a video playing on the other side. It’ll only let me hover the doc over the video. Or something like that.

I did find Jason Statham on the TV so I tried that for a bit, but it was almost over and we only have the basic channels here so at night there isn't a lot on. Some stations literally aren’t airing anything at all right now. One channel isn’t airing anything again until like 2am which I find confusing. I mean, aren’t people more likely to be up watching TV at midnight rather than 2 am? Or is it because it’s a Saturday and they figure if people are up they’re at the clubs so they don’t bother to play anything until they’re starting to get home? I just… I have questions. Maybe the guide just doesn’t show that anything is on. I can’t tell if it’s just the janky-ass remote or me that can’t make the TV go to these stations that don’t appear to be airing anything or if they legitimately aren’t airing anything and you can’t really connect to them when they’re not airing anything. This is probably something I could “google” but I can’t say as I feel like doing that right now. And if I do go off to search something, I’m sure that I’ll get distracted and then I’ll never finish this post or go to bed.

I definitely should head to bed soon. I know that. I don’t feel too jet lagged though I felt super tired before we went out for dinner around 7pm, but I think that’s just me as a person. I’m often super sleepy around dinner time and then I perk up a little later, get a second one and inevitably end up staying up much later than is a good idea.

Sleeping was interesting yesterday because I could not make myself stay conscious for one more second around 9 or 10 pm and passed out on the couch. I slept for a solid few hours and then woke up around 2:15 am. The couch is a sleeper sofa type, so I pulled out the bed/mattress and then laid there and chatted with people and watched an episode of Legends and surfed the internet until just after 5 am. I was hoping to get at least two or three more hours before I got up. I slept solidly aside from my folks waking me up on occasion and dad trying to talk to me while I was sleeping until midday or so. I’m reasonably certain I slept until 11 so that was another good chunk of time.

The good thing is that I do feel sleepy so I think once I pull out bed situation again and get cozy, I’ll sleep. Sure, 2 am is kind of late, but it’s also not anywhere near unheard of for me to be staying up until 2 am on a weekend or holiday. Hell, during the hurricane I think I stayed up reading until nearly 4 am one day. And if I’m on a “basically normal for my weekends/vacations” schedule, then I’m not too jet lagged and should be able to manage the rest of the trip easily enough.

I’m curious to see how things go when I get back. I’m hoping that I’ll sleep the majority of the trip home but then still be tired enough to go to bed shortly after I get home and have some food on the Sunday night I get back. I have to go straight back to work and then work like 11 days in a row so things are definitely going to be interesting.

Eh, I don’t want to think about work right at the moment. Hell, I don’t want to think about it at all during the trip if I can manage it.

If I’m thinking about work stuff, it’s probably time for me to go to bed. I’m really tempted to read though. I really am.
