Is taunting me... I'm tired, but not sleepy... And I will be doing a lock-in tonight... The official "lights out" will be at 4am... Gawd help me! Later days...
It is such a necessary thing for so many reasons, yet it eludes me at every turn... When my own body is to blame it can be either nightmares, multiple wakings [for no reason], or too many trips to the bathroom... Last night, though, my body finally cooperated -- and then the boy and the cat conspired to drive me crazy... I realize that I will soon have an infant to take care of, and I know that will cut into my sleep... But I also know that it is less difficult to get upset about it when the baby actually NEEDS something from me... The boy knew that I was trying to sleep and kept waking me up even though he didn't need a darn thing... At one point, he actually woke me up to tell me that he wanted to cuddle me so I wouldn't have to wake up -- and then proceeded to kick and punch me while he got comfortable... Ugh... I love that kid an awful lot, so I guess I will have to let him live... It just sucks because the more tired I am, the more I feel like I am going to puke... So, yeah... Tired = cranky + nauseous... I am gonna be so much fun today... Later days...
This whole "getting better" thing takes a lot of damn energy! Teeheehee... The pain pills are doing their job, so I have not had too much difficulty with walking... Getting up or down puts a lot of strain on things though, so that is still pretty tough... Luckily, Clark has been majorly helpful and not the least bit annoyed by the multitude of requests to get/move things for me or to help me get up off the couch if/when I can't do it alone... I don't plan on attempting the stairs for a couple more days -- and that will only be for sleeping in my own bed at night -- but I already hit one pretty cool benchmark this morning... I was able to sit at the table and eat breakfast with my boys! Yay!!! Baby steps... Gotta remind myself to keep moving forward (both literally and figuratively) with baby steps, even if it is frustrating to be capable of so much less than only a few days ago... Focusing on the pile of books I've set up has helped it to feel more like relaxation and less like a punishment of some sort, so I'm really glad I made the effort to collect them all ahead of time... Right now, nevertheless, I think I am about to take another nap, so I should be going... Later days...
Hungry, tired, and anxious... Not a great combination... Ugh... Gotta leave in a few minutes, but I wanted to get in some internetting first... Later days...
Tomorrow is actually the latest possible date for Thanksgiving, but it still seems like it can't possibly be Thanksgiving yet... I mean, sure we already have weather so cold I have been wearing a scarf (and sometimes a hat and gloves)... Sure, Clark and I have thought about how to best finish up our Christmas shopping while avoiding the usual shopping chaos at this time of the year... And, we have even gotten family pictures taken and made our 2008 Christmas cards... But, I still can't seem to believe it... I swear, every year goes faster than the last... Man, saying that makes me feel old! Oh well, I guess... At the very least, though, I can rest these old/sick bones and take a nap this afternoon... Being sick is no fun, but at least I already had this day off scheduled, so that makes it a little less painful than if I had to call in... Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and that everyone who's crazy enough to get up early on Black Friday finds at least one deal to make it worth the trip out... Later days...
Part of me wants to go upstairs and bring Boogie into the bathroom as he is so strongly suggesting right now [read: crying]... Part of me knows that he has already gone pee 3 times in the last 1/2 hour and that he is really just stalling... Let alone the fact that I just about broke my toe when I went up the last time, since my walk through the dark living room caused me to kick a marshmallow shooter that Boogie had left out on the floor... I can see that my foot is only a little scratched, but it feels like my toenail is split... Good times... So, Clark is upstairs now -- he caved and went upstairs even though he is the one that always tells me not to cave -- and Boogie just sounds so pathetic... I really wish I hadn't let him stay up past his bedtime, but I was being lazy because it's Friday night... Grrr... Maybe I should try to get somewhere I can't hear him too well... [Bloody unlikely, I know]... Later days...
I hate being sick... I have been coughing and sneezing and wheezing for days now... I think it was a cold plus allergies at first and that I am now just dealing with allergies... All I know is that I am having a hard time waking up without Curves, but I have not been to Curves all week because I am afraid I will end up having to quit because of a coughing fit... Bah... Maybe tomorrow will be a better breathing day... Later days...
So, it's a very good thing we gave ourselves the entire weekend to readjust to living on EST... I slept (on and off, as usual) for about 12 hours last night... And I am still tired... Boogie went to bed a little later than normal (which was a little earlier than on vacation time), and he slept (or at least stayed calm enough that we could stay sleeping) until about 10am... Tomorrow ought to be rather interesting! Right now, though, I am going out to have the delightful brunch Clark is preparing me... Eggs, toast, and bacon! Yummy... Later days...
Sometimes, I think I can relate pretty well to Cookie Monster... Damn, I wish I had a cookie right about now! More often, though, I feel like the librarian in this classic Sesame Street clip... It's not that I deal with furry blue monsters all day (although, come to think of it, we do have one sitting on top of a display case when you first walk in to the children's room!)... And it's not that I sit and stamp cards while I catalog things according to DDC all day... It's just that some people don't seem to get what the library is here for, you know?!? Some days, like yesterday, I feel like I am fighting an uphill battle... When I have to remind the teens about 50 times that they are not supposed to be having a pillow fight with the pillows in the Storytime Room, I wonder what the hell they aren't understanding... If we are crazy enough to let them hang out in there, despite the fact that many people would rather put up a "no teens allowed" sign, they should at least be appreciative enough that they respect the room and the things in it, right?!? I am about to head out to the teen area for the rest of my shift, and I shudder to think of what I may have to deal with today... I am normally completely ready to deal with the teens, but I am just so damn tired that I know I am getting cranky... I swear, I will probably head to bed right after Boogie tonight... Later days...
