Don't close your eyes

[cyrano]

It's that really hard time to stay awake--from four until about six in the morning. The Dell is apparently living on borrowed time. I'd hoped that it was just the hot weather that made it refuse to boot earlier. But I was watching a DVD and it suddenly choked so hard that I could not turn it off. In this case it's a good thing that the battery is crap because the only thing I could do was unplug the power cable and wait for the battery to expire so I could reboot. And I really can't afford to lose computer access this weekend, as it's pretty much the only way for me to stay in communication with people and to be able to get where I need to go. And now I'm afraid to put a DVD back in, which is making it harder to stay awake. And I have no deodorant and I could use a shave. If check in time isn't until eleven, I hope they'll let me nap in the lobby. And not mind if I show up a little late to pick up the rental car.
