Short Attention Span Theater

Ok well the folks at Pzizz were QUITE generous with their MacZot promotion and are now offering an additional challenge which I am more than happy to take up. Basically they want us to use Pzizz (either the sleep OR energizer module) for 5 days and blog about your results. As everyone who knows me knows, I am quite the little insomniac and am actually in the middle of a spell right now, so what better time to try it? Moving has me very stressed out, and it’s been hard to calm down at night. Usually I play a game of Yahtzee on my cellphone, stare at the ceiling for 15 minutes, play another game of Yahtzee and so on. Doesn’t make for a very restful night’s sleep. So I’m very optimistic here.

I did try the sleep demo (during the day) last week and it definitely got me feeling sleepy. Today I am driving up to Toledo with some of my stuff, so I’ll try to check out the energizer nap beforehand! So stay tuned to see how Pzizz works out for me! Anything to avoid sleeping pills, ya know?

Someone to help me get the boxes out of the basement. I can get them upstairs, but to get them upstairs AND out to the living room might just kill me. There’s another air quality alert today (and yes it really DOES hurt my lungs) and the sunroom (where the basement stairs are) is not insulated/air conditioned so the windows are open. And it’s 89 degrees out.

Or just a magic wand to wave to get them all up here.

Ok I’m writing this out for myself, but if anyone has any suggestions, by all means, PLEASE make them. I’m desperate.

Today:
Finish packing office as much as I can. (can’t entirely with plants/computers/pig)
Pack cds and dvds.

Tomorrow:
Pack up appliances and silverware and such.
Pack recipe books.

Tuesday:
Containers from garage and basement. Go through and purge and consolidate.
Pack up other random laying around items.

Wednesday:
Maybe take plants and pig to Toledo?

Thursday:
If Wednesday is Toledo, return.
Pack up remaining items, including iMac. (can use iBook for remainder)
Move everything I can into livingroom.
Laundry (all clothes are going in big garbage bags)

Friday:
Whatever’s left.
Breathe?

Tomorrow is Towel Day, a day of remembrance for Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy. Observe it by carrying a towel all day.

It is 4:24pm. My 2.5 year old 3G iPod is having issues holding a charge. I just took it off the dock, fully charged, and set it on a play cycle, looping, to see how long the battery will last. I’m not optimistic…

This one is actually REALLY cool for me because any of you who know me, know full well that sleep and I do NOT get along. I call myself the chronic-intermittent-insomniac. Never know when it will hit, but when it does, I am MESSED UP.
So this software is definitely something I’m checking out! Anything that can help me sleep has my vote.

MacZOT.com Fans want Pzizz because ‘According to the National Sleep Foundation, sleep deprivation and its effect on work performance may be costing U.S. employers some $18 billion each year in lost productivity. Another study pushes this cost to over $100 billion.’ - link to full article

I love those MacZOT folks!!!

Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately. I’m pretty much spending all my time working and packing for my move to Toledo which is coming up ALL too soon! June 3rd. Am I packed? Heck no.

Oh yeah I also have been spending too much time playing Kingdom of Loathing - I ascended for the first time last night. That game is way too cool.
