Return to blogville

gogmagogToday marks my return to blogging; I've been meaning to get back to it for ages, as I did feel more productive when I was doing it, but somehow I've gotten out of the habit (I blame my DVR). But I'm back and raring to go!
I'm not usually up this early in the morning (4:30 a.m.), but I took a quick nap of a couple of hours yesterday afternoon, and that combined with a bit of a toothache (leftover from my wisdom tooth surgery a week and change ago) kept me from being able to go to sleep. About 3 a.m., I gave up and started doing some long-overdue kitchen cleaning.
I like getting up early, much as I'm the opposite of a morning person; it always makes me feel productive to be able to get things done before I'd normally even be awake. For example, so far this morning I've washed a buttload of dishes, prepped the trash to be taken out once it's light out (and once I have clothes on), and graded some quizzes I gave my students on Friday (for which the results were about as dismal as I expected, overall). On a normal Monday I wouldn't be clawing my way out of sleep for another couple of hours, by which time I hope to have had a light workout, made breakfast and maybe showered.
So lack of sleep hath its privileges, though I'm sure I'll be hella sorry in my evening class when I have to avoid snoring during the instructor's Adobe Illustrator tutorial.
Anyway, I'm doing this through a new "unified" journaling program called viJournal, which lets you synchronize or semi-synchronize a computer journal with a LiveJournal or Blogger journal. It seems pretty cool so far, but I haven't done anything fancy with it yet; let's see if it works out.
