Crystal of nightmares.

Music: Rain+thunder=I could sure use a nap.
7:10p

I've been just a tad more productive this week; I've gotten a little more organized (if you call shoving things into drawers organized), bought a few more Christmas presents, and even started up vocal therapy again (thanks to my friend for letting me borrow their space). Was nice to get away from everyone and everything, and just let go (without having to worry about bothering the neighbors, not that they'd complain). Oh yeah, and I owe you a bag of Cheetos that I downed while doing the Cupid Shuffle in between songs. :P 

I only wish sleep would have fit itself in there somewhere. I'm two days down already, and I don't feel any more energized than I did yesterday morning. Last night was the worst. Nightmares don't help the situation, and I felt the repercussions of another nearly restless night. I kept forgetting things, and was annoyed for a good half of the day. The only thing that really made me flip a switch was watching the storms in Channelview as they chased me while driving back to Crosby. I came home, and opened my blinds, watching the sky get darker and darker, and enjoying an awesome lightning show. Could have probably taken a nap, if not for random banging around as people took turns wrapping presents. Or my phone ringing. I'm just sorry the rain won't be lasting into the night....

I ran into a couple of former co-workers in Channelview. They asked if I was still at the store, and when I told them I'd moved to the warehouse, they were shocked. They asked if I liked it better, and told me I was lucky that I no longer had to deal with customers. When i told them I started out as au unloader, they looked even more shocked. I described what I do now, and they asked if I liked it better. We got to discussing money, and of course I don't tell anyone what I make, but simply said the warehouse pays better. I only wish I'd gotten the overtime so I could have put some money away. Another thing that is holding me back from getting my own place. I didn't think it would turn out that way; I wanted some pad money for Christmas, to get everyone better presents this year, and put the rest away. But I seem to remember some nagging feeling back a couple months ago that told me I'd be getting fucked on that end. And the overtime never came for me, or my area. People were pissed, and even friends that did indeed work some serious hours weren't happy with the way my area was treated. I may just be able to get by in December...if the volume keeps up and doesn't slow down as predicted. 

Until then, the rain has definitely moved off, so it looks like I'll hve to catch up on sleep the old-fashioned way. Or just go straight for the Zquil. Hell, I might just have a drink..I forgot how much alcohol relaxes me. 

That is, after I get past the whole 'bounce-off-the-walls-buzzed' stage. :P

I'm off to go find my version of "Can't Sleep" by Above and Beyond..since my iPod decided to erase it for whatever reason......fucker.
