I didn't sleep so well last night. Aside from some apparent concerns that required me to depart the comfort of my bed every now and then, I was awakened yet again around 5:30 AM... by the fire alarm. What fun. So I tossed on some clothing quickly, grabbed my wallet, keys, and phone, and stumbled outside with everyone else (I was far from the last one out). We had to wait out there for a while until the fire department arrived and went inside to investigate. I overheard that there might have been a bit of a snafu with the boiler. That's hardly new. The boiler went absolutely berserk last year. But this time the issue was fairly minor, I guess. At least, that's what I surmise. Eventually I got back inside and returned to bed. Now, I heard my alarm go off. Sort of. I really did. However, my body refused to do anything so drastic as, well, get up. I wanted to. Honestly, I did. But after that night, it just didn't happen. At least not until around 1:20 PM...
After that, I got a very relaxing shower, daydreaming all the while, and a much-needed shave. Then it was time to begin the lengthy process of getting my laundry accomplished, which ultimately took the bulk of the day. After I put the first load in, I went and got my daily meal from Subway. Since they're doing the any-regular-footlong-sub-for-$5 deal this month ("Anytober"), I decided to go with a steak sub on an Italian herbs and cheese loaf, with pepperjack cheese, marinara, hot sauce, grated parmesan cheese, and oregano. It was utterly delightful. Heh, the hot sauce gave it more of a kick than I'd figured.
Anyway, during the day I helped a few close friends through some issues, and I was also highly distracted by Ancestry.com's decision to make World War I draft registration cards the new free collection for the day. I've lost track of how many I downloaded for my family today. Then I went back to the family of one of my best friends and downloaded draft registration cards and 1920 census records, and sent all of those over to her, along with descriptions of what's on each. She was delighted, I think. Believe it or not, that all took the bulk of the day. I have not gotten a single thing done with respect to, well, these annoying 'classes' I'm supposedly in. So before I go to sleep, I am putting my foot down and compelling myself to do at least the meagrest token gesture of studenthood. Gah...
First, however, I'm catching up on some of the blogs I subscribe to, a few of which include regular political columns. I'm particularly interested in reading their appraisals of this whole ridiculous 'Occupy Wall Street' fiasco (see, e.g., here, here, here, here, here; and then this is older and not directly related but still pertinent). Oh, and thanks to Dr. Edward Feser, I went and downloaded Thomas Harper's 1866 Peace Through the Truth: Or, Essays on Subject's Connected with Dr. Pusey's Eirenicon, and then I went on to download a series of other 1866 responses to Pusey's Eirenicon. It took a while before I actually found a copy of E. B. Pusey's 1865 Eirenicon itself. That should make a good few weeks of reading someday in the future.
Now, to read a few more blogs, then work through Hebrews 6-7, and then finally get to bed like I should've done long ago...
