Is It Over Yet?

what's up?
Damn. It’s only Wednesday. I am so eager to put Black Friday behind me this year. It feels like some huge speed-bump or hurdle that I need to cross this year! And I have been so exhausted the past few days from all the stress and labor of preparing for it at work. I have either gone to bed early or fell asleep on the couch while watching TV all week! Last night I fell asleep while playing Flamingo with my cat (it’s a game we play every night in an effort to tire her out so she’ll actually sleep). I woke up in the middle of the night and my light was still on, Flamingo was still in my hand, and my cat was sleeping!
Anyhoo, I gots to go get pretty for work. Just wanted to check in, since I feel totally productive this morning.

Nap-Time?
•
what's up? •
whaat!
I took a nap today. An actual real life out for an hour (or three?) nap. WTF? I never nap. I hate napping. In fact, people that do nap normally annoy me. There will be plenty of time for sleep when we are dead!
But today it was me. We got back from dropping off Richard’s car, had breakfast (that is the new deal for getting up early to drive each other to appointments), met *Eric* the window guy, and then I went to the couch and went to sleep. You see, I haven’t had much ‘sleeping in’ time. In fact, I have been up early for the last 3 or four days off that I had. So my excuse for the weakness that caused me to nap is all the waking up early. Especially since I had not really gone to bed earlier. I try to go to bed, but normally can’t sleep for a bit, so I will read, or listen to podcasts, or play with my phone. You know, till sleep comes to me. Right. So I napped. The weird thing is that sleeping in the middle of the day has put me in this time warp. I have lost time people! It was almost a panicky feeling at first. I hate it.
I should have just made coffee.

Dear Internets,

thoughts i had
Why is it I can wake up from like 12 solid hours of sleep and still manage to feel tired? Just curious.
Love, Daniel

Waiting For The ‘Sleepy’ Part.

what's up?
Okay. I should be sleepy any minute now. I just finished my Sleepy Time Tea. (Okay, finding that video about the tea was a total bonus. I get that brand in the non-extra variety. Same bear label tho.)
So anyway, here it is 3:30 AM. People in other time zones are tweeting good morning on the Twitter. I hate hearing (reading) good morning when I have yet to sleep yo. It totally makes me all cringe-y. Ew. You gotta be wondering by now, “Why the hell is this idiot up so late?” Well, lemme just tell you. I was on the closing shift at work. It’s the one to ten. This time of year its pretty quiet at my retail establishment, so we typically have no problem getting out on time. Tonight tho, as I was making my final rounds I saw an odd puddle on the ground up near the receiving area. It took me a minute to realize it was coming from the fire sprinkler. Just a steady drip. Not good. Our building had a drip like that last year and half the lower level ended up under water when the sprinkler burst. So I had to call it in. This type of issue classifies as an emergency. I had to wait for someone to come out and assess/fix it. On a Saturday at ten o’clock. Yeah. So it took a long time to get someone who would come out. A real long time. Then it took a while for the repair, once we established that it was in fact the sprinkler and not just like weird or whatever. Right. So I left work at 2 AM.
Needless to say, I am nowhere near that relaxed-ready-for-bed place that I need to be in to get to sleep. I would surf some blogs to kill time, but I did that while I was waiting for a response on my sprinkler issue at work. (iPhone!) TV will suck this time of day… I can’t do any cleaning as that would wake up Richard. *sigh* I should take up video games again. That would totally be something I could do in cases like this! But I get soo addicted. I really don’t have the time to invest in a game addiction. That doesn’t help me now regardless.
*yawn* Wait. I just yawned. Awesome! Go tea go! I will sleep soon.. Maybe I’ll just go lie down…

Well, it’s finally here. Inventory. For the next two days I work from 5 AM till whenever. Joy! So here it is, 3:30 in the morning (I should actually be in the shower already) and I am up, drinking coffee, and holding a cat in my lap. Insane! I even got 4 whole hours of sleep, before I woke up 2 minutes before the alarm would’ve gone off. That is actually a good thing since I never actually turned the alarm on. Oopsie! Don’t you hate when you forget to do that?
Ah well, off I go..

what's up?
My workday was a bit longer than I expected it to be. Someone was late so I kinda had to stay. I hate when that happens, but I am using it as my excuse to sleep in tomorrow. I was supposed to be in at 6 again, but that 6-3 business just kills me. I hate waking up at 4. Somehow that seems more like nighttime than morning, yanno? 5 is sooo much better. Well, I’d actually prefer to sleep till 10 but beggars and choosers and junk. At least I had no plans today. Richard is doing a gourmet meal tonight tho, so it is good that I was not forced to stay thru till closing. Heh. Oh, and it’s Grammys night! Just kidding. We prolly won’t watch that. Three and a half hours of acceptance speeches? Erm, no. Plus I am not thrilled enough with the music scene right now to care.
Oh, here’s something! I don’t think I mentioned that Richard got a new car. His lease was up so it was time for the next one. It’s another Passat, but much sportier than his last one. Maybe we’ll do pictures soon. It’s cute! Heh.

You know it’s been one hell of a day when Daniel has nothing to blog about. Heh. I will say that the 6 AM till four is a bitch tho. An absolute bitch. I have another one tomorrow. Must sleep. Night.

Good Book

what's up?
Last night, and actually the night before I went up to bed a bit early. To read. I have gotten it into my head that I want to read more. I love books and reading and all that junk. So anyway, I figured I’d do a bit of reading before bed. A bit. As in some. Right. Now I remember why I don’t read too often anymore. I cannot stop. I get a book I like, and I read it till it’s done. I was actually up until 2 in the morning reading! Two! Sure, I am closing all weekend, but I really do not need to be up until 2. Because then I sleep in too long and miss out on anything (gym) else (gym) I need (gym) to be doing (gym).
This book I am reading has over 600 pages. I am already more than halfway done. I’ve had it for 3 days. It kills me to put it down. Is reading supposed to be like that?

My Man Is Making Me Tea

what's up?
I have never been a tea drinker. Gimme my coffee anytime yo! But alas, no coffee for me this time of day. Weirdo. I have to get to sleep. Richard has made me some of his tea to help me. I can never sleep when I have to sleep. Do you have that problem? I can’t be the only one as Richard makes it seem. You see, I am the early opener at work tomorrow. Early as in FIVE. Yup, you read that right. Five in the morning. That of course means that I need to be up at three. Ugh. I am up way too late already. So my mind is wired, my body is antsy, and I will be up all night worrying about waking up. I have taken relaxation pills, had some wine, and now am heading into my teacup of herbal sleep aides. Hell. You’d think I’d never wake up! But sleep is still a concern.
Hell this tea is hot. I think my man is trying to burn me. Smells like cat nip too. That’s just great. I am drinking boiled cat drugs. Tastes like cat-box. Bah.
The nice part is that tomorrow we’ll be off early! Richard is on the same shift. He thinks we’ll want to go and like do something. I said yeah, like come home and sleep. Heh. I am already planning that. I wonder where he wants to go? He is clearly nuts. Waking up at three. That’s barely bedtime. Not waking up time. This is all wrong. Hell. I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Oh, the tea must be working!
