Wednesday Morning Update

Sleep:
No, I don't have a sleep fetish. It's just good for me to know exactly how shitty my sleeping is. :-p

Keith woke me up at 2 this morning. I'm not sure why. He was hyper. He was briefly chatty. And I was like "please, god, let me sleep!!" I think he went off to watch some more Star Trek, but I do not actually remember.

I got enough sleep last night. Woke up with slight back tightness at about 4 or 5. Took some advil and passed back out. Then I woke up and started getting ready for work. Of course, it's a good thing I kept waking up on my own. I had set my alarm for 6:45. PM.

Oops.

Electricity:
I blew a fuse this morning!! Yay! Go me!!! ~_~ Turned on the kitchen light, watched one light bulb flash, then the lights went off. Had to get a candle (the noise woke Keith up) as we could not find a flash light. Reset the circuit. Power was restored. Changed the light bulb and there was much rejoicing.

Buffy:
I watched Nightmares and Prophecy Girl last night. Twas good stuff. I had tried to watch The Puppet Show but was just not in the mood for it.

Much sadness. Only 4 new episodes of Buffy until it's all over. :( x1,000,00

Housework:
By all rights, I should refrain from hanging out with anyone this week as I need to get the apartment cleaned for Saturday. x_x In all reality, I want to hang out!!! *sigh* Cleaning must be done, though. Plus there shall be much hanging out to be had on Saturday. Wonder who all is actually going to come to my party... Hoping lots of people...

Interests:
I re-redid my Interests list. I took my "complete" list and pared out the ones I was thinking of not using and wound up with exactly 150. Perfect! Doesn't get much easier than that!

Oddly enough, it makes nullslashvoid have the highest magic index number on my similar interest search. :-p Well, other than roleplayers, but that's a community anyway.

cyclical chaos

I have been in a decidedly odd mental place the last couple of days. This came about with taking Monday off to deal with the fun lock breaking hijinks and therefore having my entire internal clock fucked with.

Yesterday, I was completely out of sorts. Not only did the day fly by, I was wholly incapable of focusing on any one thing for any significant period of time. It was very bizzare. I got very little actual work done, and I couldn't even tell you what a single one of my phone calls yesterday was like. I left work with a vague feeling that I wasn't supposed to leave yet, even though the clocks all said it was time to go. Even the walk to my car was very surreal, as if I were going to wake up and be very confused for no discernable reason.

I got home and cooked myself some dinner. Nothing special, just a big bowl of soup. I think I had a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich too, but I honestly don't remember now. The cats wanted food, of course, so I gave them some and they happily ate the night away.

I decided to go online and chat some. Was also surfing porn, but that goes without saying. I was definitely wishing it weren't just porn, but oh well. Decided to ignore the porn and just chat. Had some good conversations, was highly amused by the uber tired cute behavior of tetsubun_otaku, and then opted to go watch some Buffy. I didn't watch the episode that was airing, as it was a repeat, but instead popped in Season 1, Disc 3 and started to watch that. I already posted what I tried watching and what I wound up watching instead, so that's not worth rehashing now. Anyrate, after that, I opted for sleep.

Fast forward to today.

Today has dragged by at an unbearably slow pace. Slow doesn't even describe it. I was ready to go home when I punched out for lunch. This must be reality trying to catch up for all the time it lost yesterday. Randomness. Fortunately, the afternoon is going at a slightly faster pace than the morning has.

I have gotten more work done today than I did yesterday, at least. It feels kinda nice. I need to catch up some more on things.

I've made some internal decisions about things. Some of which came about from getting my Yearly Review here at work, some of which I've been telling myself for months. Sorta like a late New Years Resolution, as it were. Right now, it's just a matter of getting things going. Most of it is going to take a lot of time. The better part of a year, but it's something to work towards. Some of it is stuff I can work on right away. All of it is simply reprogramming my brain so it quits functioning at the slackjawed level it has settled itself into.

So, for my own reference when I later fail to accomplish any of these I can kick myself and tell myself to try harder, here we go.

( Cut because it's probably boring, but oddly revealing in it's own way. )

Two more hours of work today. Then it will be time to head out and go to Red Robin with amberthistle! Good food. Thinking of actually not getting the same thing I always get. :-p This will be a good thing.
