Exhausted

Had trouble sleeping last night. Er, rather, I slept all through the night, but it was that low quality sleep on the edge of sleep. I think i was cold. I have been fighting the urge to nap all day.

I had a dream the other night about Reuben Stafford. A kid I went to elementary school with. I have almost no recollection of him except that maybe he vaguely bullied me when I was new to the school and later became my schoolyard friend. The dream wasn't vengefull, he just made a cameo appearance in a chair. He was saying something to me but I can't recall now what.

Tonight there's a party at the New School for our department head, who is leaving for sabatical. I'll go, and feel a bit like an imposter as I always do there. Some corporate dude who somehow got on the invite list. Maybe accidentally. But it will be fun to mingle a bit with the folks there and hear what they are thinking about.
