As I wind down another week, I'm feeling accomplished in some areas, while others needed some serious attention.
Sunday night, after a long and exhausting weekend, I expected to sleep for 12 hours without any interruptions. I knew what was coming this next week, after an entire week of mood swings, food cravings, (among...other things...). I hardly slept at all Sunday night, and first thing Monday morning, my suspicions were right, and there went my Monday. I spent the whole day locked up in the house, cleaning here and there, and taking out my irritation doing what I love: I dragged out my N64 and finally found a working TV to hook it up to, and played Rampage. Perfect game for the PMS'ing woman in your life! When you can go around blowing shit up and eating people, it's a good day.
I didn't sleep again Monday night. I had to be up early on Tuesday morning to go get my car inspected. Thank God I don't have to worry about it again until next December! My mom and I decided to head out to the mall in Humble to finish our Christmas shopping. It was a productive day; we both found what we were looking for. I found some winter shirts in Areopostale (they are always having sales, which is why I love going there), and while waiting in line, I met a very nice lady. We discussed kids and clothes, Christmas, and last minute-shoppers. It made waiting in line for 30 minutes seem like nothing. I'm glad there are still nice people left on this planet.
We wanted to leave the mall before rush hour, and my friend Alyna texted me, asking if I was coming by to see her. She works at the bank by the mall, so I stopped in for the first time, and said hi. I told her I still had her birthday present in my trunk, and she suggested I come over to her place after she got off work. My mom and I went on to do our grocery shopping, and I had just enough time to get home, clean up the mess I'd made in my closet while trying to find something to wear (I have way too many clothes), and hide presents, when Alyna called me and asked if I still wanted to come over. I grabbed my stuff and headed over there. I played with the baby, and helped Alyna wrap presents (I am a terrible wrapper, haha). We talked and watched TV until James was ready to be picked up from work. I had parked behind Alyna's car, forgetting she may have to leave to go get him, so I offered to go pick him up. I brought him back safe and sound, and he cooked dinner for us...at midnight. :P We hung out a little longer and talked about one of our *dear* friends...gag. I'm sure some reading this know who I am talking about. After a lengthy conversation, I left, super tired and ready to crash. I came home, and was wide awake. Especially after what I read on facebook, my blood pressure was up, and I was ready to kick said dear friends' ass. And why does it still bother me so much, after all this time? After re-hashing with Alyna and having flashbacks, it opened the hole again, and re-ignited my anger. And I feel a confrontation coming on soon....
Sleep once again evaded me Tuesday night. When will it end? I was planning on catching up and sleeping in Wednesday morning, when my phone decided today would be a good day for me to be popular. I got a text from Amy saying she was headed my direction, and wanted to meet up to exchange Christmas gifts. So I figured I'd lay down a few more minutes. Don't bother me again, phone! Damn if 5 minutes later, it buzzes again. This time, it's Laura, telling me about a sale at her job. I texted her back, and lay down again. Okay, no more! I don't wanna be popular anymore! This is too much work! I'm still not fully awake yet, and just want to sleep a bit longer. I close my eyes...and bam, like clockwork. Alright! I'm up! I got ready, and Amy arrived. We went and had lunch, and looked around walmart. I finally finished up the last of my Christmas shopping. I came home and started the pain-staking task of going through clothes, but by this point, exhaustion was catching up with me. I decided to take a short nap, and I mean short, because the kids had come home from school, and were now playing and screaming in the street. But I felt better.
After dinner and some more N64, I put in a movie and lay down to watch it. I finally crawled into bed around 1:30. I had just fallen asleep, and was finally getting some good sleep when I woke up to a raging storm. I reached over to turn on the TV like I normally do when a storm happens at night. Nothing. I figured I wasn't pointing at the TV good enough. Still nothing. I opened my eyes, and noticed the room was darker than it should be. Too dark. My computer lights weren't even on, cable box was out. Oh, fuck. No power! I got out of bed and unplugged my laptop, switching it to battery power. Duh, you sleep-deprived idiot! No internet! I turned on my phone, and saw it was only 2:30. I'd only been asleep for an hour. I brought up the Radar. Holy blown transformer, Batman! Where the hell did that squall line come from? Alright, no more being caught off-guard! I'm a wanna-be storm chaser for cripes sake! Curse you, you meteorologists for not putting your multi-billion dollar technology to better use.
I left my laptop on, adjusting the power settings so the computer would turn itself off after an hour, letting me have some light at least so I could get back to sleep, and not have to run down all of my battery power, just in case. That's the last thing I remember.
The next time I woke up, I figured it was around 10 or so, time to get up and start my day. I felt oddly better, more energized, more energized than I should. Hmm. I reached over and grabbed my phone.
It was 1:05 in the afternoon.
Holy crap! My phone wouldn't lie, right? Maybe I slept through the end of the world, now it's all ass-backwards. I turned on my TV. Maury was on. I still needed some more confirmation. I looked outside. Yep, sun was pretty high in the sky. What a beautiful day it w--holy crap I slept until 1 in the afternoon!! I still had so much to do!
I got up and got dressed, and had enough time to go to the bank and go put gas in my car, before it was my lunch time (remember that strict Thursday schedule I mentioned a while back?). I ran by Burger King, and after lunch, cleaned the windows on my car, and straightened up my room, even putting my bed back together. Now I'm ready for another weekend at work. My day started way later than I'd planned on it starting, but I got the sleep I needed, or else I'm not sure how I would have made it at work tomorrow. I feel better, Mother Nature is done with me for the moment, and it's nearly Christmas! Let's get this weekend started!!
If I don't get a chance to update this before the big day, Merry Christmas, ya'll, and I'll be back with my year in review very soon. Peace. :D
