The Joy of High Tech

I had trouble getting to sleep last night, then had trouble staying asleep. Finally got soundly asleep around maybe 3 AM. Then my cell phone gave a tone indicating a message arriving, a bit after 6:00. I knew I had to answer, or it would just repeat the tone every few minutes until I did. 

Usually, when I get a cell message at that time it's from someone anonymous trying to get me to download an mysterious file. Even at 6 AM I'm not stupid enough to do that. This time, however, it was just a message, though a long one. I appeared to be from one person to another telling him about a job offer. I was too groggy to make much sense of it, but realized it was not meant for me. In retrospect, it was likely a spam message. I wish I'd saved it to look at later, but right then all I wanted to do was get rid of the annoyance. 

I fed the cats and opened the cat door while I was up, and used the john, then went back to bed. And had trouble getting back to sleep. I finally did, but only for about half an hour before I woke again. Realizing I wouldn't get back to sleep just then I got up and started breakfast. 

I really need to mow my yard this morning, but don't feel competent to operate dangerous machinery just now. Maybe I can get a nap after lunch.
