12:35 = 2

When I am very stressed, I have a hard time sleeping. Sometimes I have trouble going to sleep (like last night) and sometimes I wake up in the night and just stare at the clock. I've heard that you aren't supposed to look at the clock if you wake up in the middle of the night, because that makes you anxious. But the green glowing light always attracts my attention, so how can I not look?

When I stare at the clock, I often find myself adding the numbers of the time together until I get a single digit.

For example, 8:20 = 8+2 = 1+0 = 1 or 2:22 = 6

I don't know why I do it or when I started doing that. I asked Brian if he ever did it, and he was like "Nooooooo, do you?"

I guess deep, deep down I'm a scientist/mathematican after all.

Well, I can't be a 'rainman' cause Vegas kicked my butt! ;-)
