New Record

Well, I broke my longest time awake record yesterday. As I said in my last post, I didn't sleep Saturday night--and had to run lyrics two weeks in a row on no sleep. Shortly after writing the last post, I hit the wall. I could have fallen asleep then. Unfortunately, my alarm was going to go off in about an hour, so going to sleep wouldn't have helped much. So instead, I walked to Hy-Vee and bought some caffeinated beverages. All the way there and all the way back, there was a terrific light show all around me. Lightning in all directions, but no rain where I was. Five minutes after I got back, the downpour started.

My dad showed up for church, and afterwards we went back to my place to get ready to go to the storage unit. My roommate had the key, or else we would have gone sooner. I nearly fell asleep waiting for him to get back. We hauled most of the rest of our collective stuff to the storage unit, rearranged some things, and closed it up. Then my dad and I went to Godfather's for some pizza. After that, we drove past my new place, and then back to the current apartment. We talked for a while, then he went to his hotel room.

Unfortunately, all the seating in our apartment is gone now. The only large piece of furniture left is my futon. My roommate fell asleep on the living room floor at around 10:30, so I had to sneak past him to get to my room at 11. I fell asleep quickly, but I had been up for 40 hours at that point, so it's not surprising.

I woke up at 12:30 this morning because some people had decided to shoot of fireworks in the parking lot. Of course, when I actually sat up and looked out, they were done and gone. Another reason on the list for why I'm glad I won't be living in this building much longer.

Well, I should wrap this up. I've still got to take apart my futon and pack some small items. Peace out, Iowa City. I shall return on the 4th.
