I got six hours of sleep last night. It was not enough but the reason for my lack of sleep was totally worth it.

I met my Dad for lunch at eleven o'clock. I picked a restaurant that I know he's a fan of, and it's on this side of town, which means I could get a little bit more sleep because I didn't have to drive across town. The restaurant was packed, and even though my Dad had already gotten a table, it took awhile for a waitress to acknowledge us. We talked about all sorts of things until about 2:30PM and it was nice catching up and just talking.

I should have gone out and completed my errands after that but instead I went home and ended up taking a nap. A much needed nap. And then it was five o'clock and I didn't want to go out at that time because I knew traffic and parking would be annoying.

It turns out parking was still annoying at six o'clock. I needed to go to the mall to get a gift card for my Mom and drove all over looking for a spot that was reasonably close. I ended up getting gas to kill a little time, and then still had to park on a different side of the mall. Then I went to Target. I got some food, an ice cream scoop and tongs (because I needed them), a gift and card for my brother's graduation, and a gift and card for Mother's Day.

When I got home I ate dinner and watched videos, before playing a little CoD: WW2. The latest DLC is out. I only played the new War map and I don't know how I feel about it. I do know that the third stage involves dogfighting (with planes, not dogs), and it was awful. The controls are so sluggish and it doesn't seem like they got any input from developers who actually know how to make a flying game. I might see if I can use a controller, but even with that I don't know that it can make that section fun.

Now I'm going to go to bed, so I can wake up and go to work. I need to submit my employee evaluation, work on homebound stuff, and hopefully work on my next article which is due on Wednesday. It needs to be a productive weekend.
