Excuse me? Could anyone tell me me WHY I am awake before 7 a.m.?? I didn’t get to bed until well after midnight and at roughly 5:30, I started the tossing and turning again.
Actually, I’m pretty sure it’s my allergy meds. I had stopped taking them for about a week (too broke to afford the refill that was imminent), but I noticed that there was another pollen count advisory, so I figured I’d better get back in the game (plus I got paid). So, I started taking them night before last and I think the decongestant is keeping me from sleeping well.
On the plus side, I suspect that I will come home from work tonight and crash hard which works out well since tomorrow is my early day.
It’s not so bad, really, since I have a lot of things to knock out of the way before work. For starters, I need to renew the registration on both my car and JL’s, which is still in my name. I’m only a week late. (See above note about being broke.) But I’ve been stressing about getting pulled over for something stupid I’ve done, and getting a ticket for that on top of everything else. I did not start earning money blogging to pay for stupid mistakes.
I also need to get those aforementioned prescriptions (three of them!) refilled.
Tuition waiver forms need to be copied and submitted, and I might just go into work early so that I hand deliver the damn things. I submitted waiver forms for myself and JL in April and May, respectively. They still haven’t been credited to our student accounts. Meanwhile, J at work just submitted hers two weeks ago and it’s already been applied. Something isn’t right somewhere and no one is responding to my email questioning it. I have to submit one for JM anyway, so I’m just starting over from scratch. But I am starting to gain a little understanding of the parents and students who come into the library and vent about not being able to get necessary information from various offices on campus.
While I’m at it, I’m also going to “bite the bullet” and complete the necessary paperwork to maximize my deferred compensation contribution. I’ve been holding off on that for a while, thinking that I need to have more debt paid off first, but knowing that I’m not doing more to prepare for retirement is kind of stressing me out.
And you know that I’m also going to work in doing the dishes and dealing with the incoming mail, right?
Let’s just hope I can stay awake all day…
I would kill to get 5.5 hours of consective sleep. KILL. OK, maybe not that drastic. But seriously, when one’s bladder is the size of a thimble and being crowded out more everday, one does not have much hope…
