Must...sleep...more...
Aug. 29th, 2005 04:18 pmThis hasn't been the weekend for catching up on sleep. I stayed up till two am on Saturday morning, waking in a panic at 9:30 am (I was supposed to wake at 9:30 so I could take my friend Heddy to her parents' store, but my phone alarm didn't go off for some reason, though I miraculously woke precisely on time). The reason for the panic was a dream where I was hired as a paralegal in
feiran's old firm then ushered into a room where a balding guy looked at some blank pieces of paper I happened to be carrying and declared that they would be suitable for drawing up my D&D character stats. Lawyering + Dungeons & Dragons = the most fearsome nightmare I've had in a long time.
Sunday, I stayed up again too late and got up at 10:30. Heddy was over again and we were up till 1 am playing Su Doku puzzles and she has the juggling bug. I had started watching "Objects in Space" sometime that day and kept turning it off so as not to spoil Firefly-newbies, and, of course, had to finish, so, of course, was up till nearly 2 am. Then I just plain didn't sleep well, probably thanks to amorphous worry about boss' return (which has proven unfounded, as today has passed rather pleasantly where she's concerned).
And headache. Yes, didn't so much as look at prices in Rite Aid, went right for Advil and a bottle of Diet Pepsi. I shouldn't have, really, the Pepsi, I mean, as this weekend I got paranoid about my teeth and convinced there were cracks in them. I'm still convinced, and will be scheduling a visit to the dentist soon enough. I'm going to be good and not buy any 2-Liter Diet Pepsis this week before I fly out, and I'll have to be doubly vigilant against ice chewing. But today I needed the caffeine and the acid to chew through the Advil faster, and now it has, I feel better. Still in need of a nap (which I probably won't get if I go have dinner with
friendofsnarf, Heddy, and Tricia, but I will at least have 98 more ibuprofen tablets to get me through the rest of the day, if needs be.
