Here I am up late.  I have been up late most nights this week--although I am not taking sleep aids, so I am not as concerned.  I am trying to not take the medication as much as possible.  Last night I was up late watching TV and going through some of the stuff in my room.  Thursday night was a lot of rummaging as well.  I have been trying to locate my runes that I got many, many years ago--I think when I was in college.  The runes are basically fortune telling type devices.  I found all but two of the runes--Ehwaz and Inguz.  Ehwaz is the rune of movement, transit, transition, progress.  Considering that I am somewhat stopped in my life, I found this interesting.  Inguz is the rune of new beginnings, fertility, emergence from a closed chrysalis.  Again, I feel like I am closed up and I need to emerge.  I am not sure if I believe in the runes, but these two missing, make me wonder.  They do seem to represent the things I need most.

I went to the D&D Game Day for Dark Sun today.  Not many people showed up, so it wasn't as fun as it could be.  I was somewhat disappointed that there wasn't more to get me interested in Dark Sun.   The characters were 4th level, but since they were pre-generated they weren't the best builds.  It was a little better having stronger characters to play with than just 1st level.  Having played D&D Encounters, I was already exposed to the Dark Sun world of Athas.  I would kind of like to have the book, but I am not spending unnecessary money right now.  Hopefully, they will get the information into the Character Builder and the Compendium so I can look at it there.

After Game Day I went to some friends' party.  We played some Dominoes and Apples to Apples while I was there.  There was also a lot of gossip, especially about the dance club.  One of the teacher's ex-wife was there and she had some interesting things to say about stuff in the past.  I am not sure I want to know some of this stuff, but it was interesting.  Since I am not there much any more, it should not be a problem.

I am going to try to sleep so that maybe I will get up and go to church tomorrow.  I guess it depends on whether God helps me to get there.
