Is it time to go again already?

How is it that I got a whole day's sleep that was not in the least bit restful? I was home from work by 7, in bed by 9 (which is actually early-ish, addicted to the internet as I am), and the alarm went off at 4. But I know I woke up at least three or four times during the day. And I had this continuing dream that a girl I went to college with was featured in an article on Slate.

So now I'm trying to decide what to do about dinner, thinking about getting ready for work, having the same exhausted brain strain that I felt when I went to bed this morning, and reminding myself to double-check the VCR.

And I seem to be unable to hear much out of either ear. This is not abnormal, but usually at least one ear works upon waking and a little bit of tugging and poking gets the other one up and running in short order. Not so today. (Yes, they're clean, this keeps happening regardless. I probably ought to see somebody about that.)

Oh, and I need to leave for work right now.
