Have A Nice Day!

Today started off a little groggy. My A/C went out at some point in the night, but I was too groggy to realize and turn it back on. Also, I went to bed around 9:15, so by 11:45 I was back awake and tossed and turned all night in variations of chills, and night sweats. It's funny how in my sleep-deprived grogginess, I always assume I have Malaria! Too bad I didn't wake up enough to make sense of my situation and get up and drink a bottle of water. I was probably just dehydrated. 


So, the alarm went ignored for some time while I abused the snooze button and then eventually turned on my iTunes and slowly greeted the day. This makes 3 weeks in a row of lousy sleep. The stupid part is, I know exactly what I need to do to return to sleep-filled nights, and am just working up the courage to do it. 


Meanwhile, the morning continued down-hill. Some animal made it's way into our yard last night and apparently left "bombs" around the yard. One of these "bombs" was promptly stepped in and dragged through my office. Oh, yay! Like I don't already live in a crap-scented world down here? What a delight that was to clean up. And because it rained most of the night, it was nice and squishy and EVERY WHERE! 


Meanwhile, we continue to have problems with the power. The difficult part is that they are intermittently sending power through the utility company, so by the time you go through the bother of getting the generators up and running, city light has been restored. It's a real pain in the butt!


Woo sah! 


I need to take a moment to remember why I came here 


Woo sah!


I need to take a moment to remember to let these things go. 


Woo sah!


I need to take a moment to discover the lessons that are being revealed to me in these instances.


Woo sah! 


I need a drink! lol (just kidding! or not! lol)
