I've Got a Notion to Say....

....well, not much really.

My sleep the last couple days days has been limited to about 4 hours each night, and an hour or so of a nap yesterday. Even with the limited hours, the sleep has been so sound that I am not feeling the effects I normally would at this point. I'm never this awake on this little sleep....unless I am in Vegas.

Ah, Vegas. I had a random Vegas memory flash into my mind this morning. Not sure exactly what I smelled, but something that hit my nose DEFINITELY reminded me of something from Vegas. I didn't press too hard to figure out what it was. Instead I just sat back and enjoyed the brief distraction.

Not sure when I will be in Vegas again, which always bothers me, but not having any vacation time available bothered me in a different way this morning. I got an e-mail overnight about an available spot on the disaster relief trip to New Orleans this year. The plane ticket is paid for, and I am pretty sure the room and board is taken care of again, so all I would have to do is sign up and go....but I can't.

I've been wanting to go back to the region since our first trip, but haven't been able to for one reason or another. This time I could physically go, there's nothing on my schedule next week I couldn't cancel or rearrange, but I just can't afford to take the time off without pay. Sooner or later I will make sure to get back there and check out how everything has bounced back, in the areas that it has, but I guess I am just not meant to travel right now.

OK. On to the ultra random playlist chosen by Mr. iPod this morning....
