I woke up late this morning. I think I slept pretty well, although I had some vivid dreams (which I don’t quite recall). I was sluggish and still really stuffed from the night before. Eriko actually got out of bed before I did, but I followed suit quickly. She wasn’t feeling great but she was hungry. I was stuffed and just drank some juice. I spent some time watching TV – NBC’s meet the press and some discovery channel show about using alternative fuels.

I woke up before 8. did a little bit on the computer, but not too much. Instead, I read my FreeBSD book and sat on the massage cushion, so as not to disturb Eriko, who was still sleeping. Eriko woke up about 8:30. I went to TJ’s to get some milk and bacon (all the milk was gone with Eriko’s chocolate milk.) I made omelettes (bacon, cheese, two egg). I threw out a bunch of food in the fridge cause it went bad – with was lame.

Not surprisingly, I had trouble sleeping again. During the night I wokeup and told Eriko that I needed some conversation. Note that we didn’t have a conversation about that. I woke up a little late, but not too bad. Eriko was up too. I had toast and juice for breakfast; I just didn’t have an appetite. I was at work by 8 but today would not turn out to be very productive.

I had trouble waking up again (because I had trouble sleeping again). It is difficult when there is no escape. ;) I was disappointed to find out the bacon had gone rancid, so I had a small breakfast. Eriko didn’t wake up before I left, so I couldn’t say goodbye. I was at work by 8 and had a hectic morning. I had to prepare status for my team, spend some time with the new guy, and have a meeting or two.

I had trouble waking up, but got out of bed by 7:30. Besides a few words here and there, I can’t get a conversation going with Eriko. She doesn’t seem to happy and there was minimal interaction. I made it to work by about 8. I was very busy at work; I worked on an emergency fix. Home for lunch, I peppered Eriko with questions until she started crying. Before that, she said she was bored.

I had a tough time sleeping last night – the hug refusal got to me. I woke up in the middle of the night to Eriko crying (turns out it was just a bad dream) and that allowed me to get past my pride. I woke up at 7, fixed breakfast and left the house by 7:30. I said bye to Eriko, who was still inbed. I made great progress in the morning and had several meetings.
