restless

I've spent half the weekend in the computer lab, without doing any of the things I came here for. On Saturday, I meant to write a blog post or two, but I couldn't concentrate and ended up playing solitaire and minesweeper for hours instead. Today, I've done the same, with breaks to go wandering around outside when I couldn't stand the restlessness anymore (you people need to blog more so I have distractions :P). I'm having trouble sleeping, too. One of the problems is that I can't blog at home since I still don't have a computer, so when I'm thinking too much in the middle of the night, there's nothing I can do. Then when it's daylight, I don't feel like dwelling on what kept me awake, although it's still in the back of my mind, making me feel isolated and unhappy.
And now the weekend's over and I have to go back to lab, where I still haven't done more than the bare minimum and the student I'm working with keeps pushing to do more and more work.
Anyone feel like IMing? I can try not to be so grumpy while chatting :)

Updated: I just chatted with B* and Shrinky and now I feel much better. I always feel better after talking to cool people online. Maybe I should try talking to people in real life too. That sometimes does make me feel better, but not always.
I could write a blog post now, but what I was going to write was about something I was feeling sad about, so I'm not sure I want to write it when I'm feeling okay. Maybe I won't end up feeling so miserable, though, if I don't start out that way.
