Stay Awake, stay awake, stay awake in The Crimson Permanent Assurance

Oh lord, I am so tired today. I blame it on the fact that I couldn't get to sleep when Savino left for school this morning until almost 11:30am which meant I got a whopping 3 hours of sleep until I had to get up and pick up the kids from school. That was brutal. After we got home I helped Savino do his homework and then got back into bed but didn't go back to sleep until after Tim had come home and came upstairs to lay down with me for a little bit. I think I fell asleep around maybe 5pm? Tim let me sleep and I woke up for good at 9pm but I kept waking up at least every hour and looking at the clock and being super disoriented about whether it was AM or PM, did I need to get up to get Savino ready for school or was I late for work? It was exhausting. That kept happening this morning/afternoon too, I kept waking up and looking at the clock and being worried about missing my alarm. The net result is that I feel like I didn't sleep at all today. Today has been the roughest day since I started on 3rd shift. And of course, we're completely dead at work so there is nothing for me to "do" to stay awake. I just want to put my head down on my desk and go to sleep, but I am still violently morally opposed to the idea of sleeping at work, even though there is no one here to "catch" me. I took a no-doze pill and am drinking a Diet Coke and eating dinner because I realized that I haven't really eaten anything all day, just a cup of coffee in the morning and a handful of vanilla wafers on my way back to bed this afternoon. That might have something to do with why I feel so exhausted. When I get home this morning and get Savino off to school, I vow to put my white noise app on and go right to sleep. I really hated sleeping through the entire evening tonight, and lots of stuff didn't get done that needs to get done, so tonight cannot be a repeat of Sleepfest.

Last night they paid me to sit around and watch "The Avengers". I will have to find something else to watch tonight, it doesn't make me less bored but it does seem to make the time pass a little bit faster.

Tim went and applied for the permit to demolish the garage today, they are hoping to have the permit approved and ready by the weekend. Whatever, dude, whatever. This is going to be such a disaster.

It was 39 degrees outside when I left for work tonight. I cannot. What the hell, where did fall go?! I hope that we really are going to get an Indian summer before winter really sets in, I am so not excited about winter this year. I fear the driving in the snow late at night. I can take the cold, really, but the snow driving is just not my favorite.

Oh lord, six more hours of this. How will I ever survive?
