Unusual Days

I had some bizarre dreams last night. And I slept for a solid nine hours.

I haven't had a session of coding like last night in a long time, probably not since I was in junior high school. I remember a couple nights when I was working on what I called TextGamez in BASIC. I'd just learned a new function (if I'm not mistaken, it was something along the lines of $x = $inkey) and I was going wild throwing it into loops. There must have been times since then when I was working on web sites or IRC scripts, but nothing like last night. I was literally falling asleep at the keyboard, my body couldn't take any more. My brain on the other hand was fighting to keep his partner awake. Sometimes what you're working on just becomes so clear that if you interrupt it to sleep, you'll never find that rhythm again.

It's my usual day off today. Yesterday I was also away from work, but that was unusual, just like the day before it. I was productive though, so it's not a great loss. Except financially.
