You know you’re tired when…

Monday, August 22nd, 2005

For starters:

  • You really wanted to see a certain someone yesterday but just couldn’t get up off the couch and make it happen.
  • You overslept, completely oblivious to your (multiple) alarms.
  • You bit into a banana without peeling it first.
  • You went to work with no makeup or jewelry on. Luckily, you remembered your bra.

Seriously. What is my deal? I’m in a fog lately, coupled with, what I am convinced is, an adult onset of some serious ADD. I’m swamped at work and have no hopes of ever getting caught up, and yet, I continue to accept more projects from my boss. Brilliant, eh?

I’ve spent my entire day so far working customer issues, which means I’ll get to spend tonight working on all the things that are due tomorrow. Figure I’ll be in the office until atleast 6pm. Then work from home after that. I think it’s time to put a pot of coffee on.

Sweet dreams are made of this.

My eyes are literally rolling back into my head right now. This is a very good thing. It’s a little after 11pm and I think I could actually fall asleep right now. Maybe this is the first step towards getting back on some sort of regular sleep pattern.

I got an unexpected call tonight. From T. Haven’t talked to him in awhile. He’s a pretty good guy. A little too unpredictable. And likely too young for me. But mostly, he’s very sweet and funny. He’s got an interesting background. Oh yeah, and he’s hot. Not to mention an incredibly good lay. Is that wrong of me to point that out? Nah, it’s true. And the fact that we get along so well and are actually friends (although apparently friends that can go a month or more without talking) doesn’t hurt. Maybe we’ll meet up for dinner this week.

This is what I get for napping my evenings away.

It’s 2:20am and, although I should be fast asleep, I’m making a pot of coffee. Decaf, of course. I find myself in this position a lot lately. Sleep eludes me and finds me at the most inopportune times. Perhaps I will do some work and continue on until it’s time to actually go into the office. More likely, I’ll manage to stay up for another few hours, only to crash at the time my alarm will be going off.

I am noticing that I am much better at adding entries here as opposed to the old-fashioned approach to journaling. Granted, I’m not able to go into the specific and personal details that I would on paper. This is the internet, afterall. And if I am to be able to be honest in what I write, I need to maintain some sense (imagined or not) of anonymity. It’s kind of difficult to write that way, but we’ll see how it goes.

Dangerous Beauty is on HBO right now. I’ve been meaning to add it to my dvd collection but I’ve got this whole budgeting thing to get under control first. It’s not as if I don’t have enough movies to watch, but it’s not as if I can ever have too many either.

I have a night out with the girls coming up soon. Should be a good time, they always are. If I start now, maybe by that night I’ll have figured out what to wear. Oh the joys of gaining weight and not being able to fit into your cute clothes anymore. I know that I have every intention of getting back on track, but in the meantime, it’s wrecking havoc on my wardrobe and therefore, my social life. Some of you will surely understand that. It’s hard to have fun and enjoy yourself when you feel uncomfortable in your own skin.

I see I’ve been distracted considering the time I began this entry. I’ll end this now so I can enjoy the rest of the movie.
