Words Written: DFL, 835

So very, very sleepy. That kind of sleepy where you feel a little woozy, and the backs of your eyeballs hurt. Or maybe your actual eye sockets. Hard to tell. See, last night I was good and called Ken at 8 p.m., rather than waiting until I was about to go to bed and then talk too late. But he wasn’t answering his phone. I figured he was working late, or taking a bike ride. Then it got later and later, and he still didn’t call, and I started fretting… The upshoot was that his phone had turned off, and by the time he realized it he was on his way home (he was at a friend’s changing the brake pads on the bike), so he didn’t call until…11 p.m.? Later? Keep in mind that I try to be in bed by 10-10:15 p.m., with the lights out by 10:30 (although, honestly, I should have the lights out by 10:15 in the hopes that I can be asleep by 10:30, which would give me a full 8 hours’ of sleep). I did consider calling in sick today, but when the alarm went off, I felt okay. It’s only now that I’m really starting to feel bad.

Plus yesterday was kind of stressful, and on top of that, what was causing the stress should have been something that caused me glee and excitement, and so I was pissed off that it caused stress instead. Downward spiral there.

But, I’ve done all I can do right now about the situation, and unless something comes through tonight, I’m planning an evening of TV watching and early-to-bedding.

Whee! I was partway home from the carpool driver’s house when KLOS played “I Don’t Need No Doctor” from Big Bang Theory! My favorite song on the album, and boy, did it get me bouncing. I even had to sit in front of the house and wait for it to end—in part so I could figure out which DJ played it so I could e-mail and thank him. (I’d e-mailed the station over the weekend asking them to play stuff from the album.)

That gave me enough energy to nuke a frozen pizza (how depressing is a box that screams “Pizza For One”?) and collapse in front of the TV.

It’s just before 9 now, and I’m going to get ready for bed, and pill the cat, and talk to Ken (who should be calling any minute now), and fall asleep blissfully early, in the hopes that I can be actively awake and functioning for the next couple days.
