Tired Today

Thanks to left-over adrenaline from the reading, it took me a long time to get to sleep last night. Less than six hours later, I was woken up by a magnitude 4.7 earthquake this morning. Unfortunately I couldn't get back to sleep, because while a 4.7 isn't strong enough to do damage (at least here in California), it is strong enough to get the adrenaline going. Or maybe that's just a side effect of having lived through the '89 quake.

Anyway, I'm full of tea and diet cola today.

P.S. The wall above the head of my bed is bare. No picture, and certainly no bookshelf. This morning's earthquake should make it clear why.
