No Sleep

Ugh. It's been rough going for the past...long time when it's come to sleep.

I just can't get to sleep at night, which makes it so difficult for me to get up in the morning. Maybe it's a mental thing I should try working on, because I really would rather get back on the get up and get things done routine in the morning than the lazy crazy way I've been going at during this whole period.

Granted, I did want to stay up as long as possible last night. My roommate wound up driving herself up to Urgent Care because she had strange, painful symptoms for something she couldn't figure out for two days going, and I wasn't home at the time to take her. I was en route to home when she told me she was going, but she also told me when she was en route herself. It's a good thing I did head home, as she needed information from stuff here, but I would have been more than happy to accompany her during her two hour wait around 11. I had hoped to be up by the time she got home, to see if she was doing alright.

As much as I didn't want to admit, I've been experiencing headaches as well, but I'm sure not to the severity that Natilie was going through. Maybe it's had to do with the lack of sleep, and the bit of stress pain I figure I've developed in my neck that comes and goes from time to time. I tried staying awake, and next thing I know I'm getting a phone call from the house in Monrovia and I get up to answer it with my laptop planted on my tummy and me in my contacts still in, and myself half-clothed, with yet another blog entry that's going to sit in the drafts folder until I can find the time to finish it.

The cat returned! My little kitty-girl made her way home around three this morning, but after the news, I just couldn't go back to sleep. I wound up calling my car insurance, realizing I may have money owed to them and missed the deadline, and this and that, until I somehow managed to sleep.

Now I'm awake, and I feel like crap. On top of that, I'm driving into work today, only to leave after a bit to go down to Westwood in order to meet with someone who is going to haul away some things we no longer want. I hope I make it through the day.

Maybe next week promises to have better chances at sleeping...mostly because I don't have to prepare for a harrowing 20 mile commute.
