Ring Ring… I Hate You!

The past two mornings have been absolute nightmares for me. I don’t get much sleep at night in the first place, so normally I end up sleeping in during the morning and catch up on the sleep that I didn’t get at night. But for some reason, the world has decided to conspire against me. On Wednesday morning, my aunt decided to call at 6:30, 6:45, and sometime around 7:30. By the third time the phone rang, I knew there was no way I was going to get back to sleep and ended up getting out of bed. I tried futilely all day long to go back to sleep, but it just wasn’t working. Mike came over during the afternoon and we hung out some before he had to get back home so I could get ready for the show.

During Radio X, I felt like I was going to fall asleep. But as the show wound down, I actually started to feel like I had more energy. This wasn’t good at all because it meant that for a good two and a half hours after the show ended, I couldn’t fall asleep. I think I finally was out around 4am. 6:30 sharp, the phone rings. It was a firend of my mother’s who called “just to chat”. Who the hell calls “just to chat” at 6:30 AM? I was able to get back to sleep, but at 7:30 The Satan Ringer went off again, and I hauled myself downstairs. My mom got a good laugh out of it beause apparently I was very disgruntled; I have no clue – I woke up 2 hours later on the couch.

This afternoon my grandmother was able to come home from the hospital, and I had to go over to her house for a while while a man came to clean the carpets. But she’s here with us now and will be staying at our house for a few days just to make sure shes okay. Then she can go back home and (hopefully) everthing will get back to normal. My cousin and aunt are coming on Sunday to visit, and I’m pretty excited about that. I haven’t seem my cousin in quite a while so it’ll be nice to get to chat (without using FaceBook).

I don’t have much else to talk about except that I’m sick (shingles-like outbreak on my face by my right eye [which is where I've had shingles before]) and that tomorrow I have to head out to pick up a couple books to study for the big bad GRE.
