I went outside and it was raining. I was hungry and it was that time. I dropped into the local salad shop and bought my usual healthy salad with chicken(for protein), it was still raining so I had my lunch there. After I was through with it, I walked down to the station and bought a magazine and figured that I'd sit down and read it in a coffee shop. So I went into W.H Smiths and bought a Scientific American Mind. I don't really like reading about current affairs. I guess, I should be more intune with the world around me but sometimes if I forget about it, it doesn't influence or affect me. I ordered a grande latte. The girl who served me was nice. I picked up my coffee at the end of the line and carried it with me where I sat down and sipped it before finding the index page in the mag. I read an article about MS(Multiple Sclerosis) and about negativity and the damage it may do to suppress ones own negative thoughts as they can be as therapeutic as positive thoughts are. That was interesting and the coffee was nice. I kept on reading for an hour, and thats how long it took me to finish my coffee too. I'm getting used to people around all the time, even while I'm reading, eating or even running. In this article I was reading, they said that if you try to suppress something and try to avoid it, you tend to dream about it. That's called a rebound dream. I get that sometimes. Its when I can't figure out how to do something in my head but need to. I go home and sleep and dream about it but I figure it out in the morning. Its not a negative thing, its a positive thing. I guess it might be related to stress in not knowing how to do it and then my mind goes into hyperdrive and figures it out. I wonder how much of a psychological toll that has on ones subconscious because we can't feel our subconscious' anguish. Anyway whatever. I had two bowls of cereal this morning, that was too much. I enjoyed it though - its this cinnamon cereal - real nice.

I'm working rather contently at work lately, all my rebound dreaming is paying off it seems and things don't seem as complicated as they were when I started. I pulled out my desk fan today and put it on my desk and it is nice to have it blowing in my face as I work at my desk. I discussed some designs with some of the guys at work about the work I'm doing and we found a flaw which I think I'm going to have to come up with a solution for. I had to think about it so I decided to go for another a coffee break with a colleague, but didn't talk about it, I just needed some fresh air and coffee - actually I didn't have coffee at all I had an orange juice at the coffee shop. I'll have to think about it more. Tomorrow is Friday and thats a good thing. Heard something funny today: This girl rolls over to her boyfriend in bed and says, "Why don't you ever take me some place expensive?" To which he replies, "Baby, get dressed, I'll take you some place expensive." and she says, "Where you taking me?" and he says, " to The Gas Station."

I don't even know where I heard this today but I did somewhere. You know, I probably wasn't even paying attention and was concentrating on something else and the funny part is, I can't remember what that was either but i can remember the thing I wasn't paying attention to) And here I am thinking about it now. All this sorta strange madness loosely amuses me somewhat.

I also thought about that disease where you can just fall asleep spontaneously at any point in the day without any notice. I watched a documentary about it once before on tv but thought about it today when seeing people cross the road a busy high street crossing. If that happened just before you crossed, you're done for and I wonder who fault it is and how unfair life is if that happened? Yes, my thoughts wonder off alone unaccompanied at times…

brI had a 96% sleep lat night, around 7 hours and 43 minutes. Thats real good and I'm going to try that again tonight. I got to run tomorrow .I got to sleep. And it's still raining outside...
