rough nights and stoopid computers
well it's another morning and another night of getting about 5 and a half hours sleep.
i went without my sleeping pill last night, some stupid rule about transferring prescriptions from one pharmacy to another because it's a controlled substance prevented me from getting the required medication that i needed. and i was good and tired enough to go to sleep, and i did fall to sleep just fine, but woke to the cartoon network on my tv at 5:54 am because a child decided to crawl in my bed in the middle of the night and turn the tv on.
last night was spent on the phone with my own version of technical support. my sweet boyfriend tried and tried and tried to help me get my internet connection back. i kept him up far past his bedtime, and i felt just awful for doing that. i told him to go to bed, but being the wonderful person he is... he just wouldn't give up until we had tried everything. still, nothing worked so i was up bright and early this morning on the phone with both sbc and dell, resetting the router and resetting the dsl box back to brand new status and reconfiguring both.
the plumber is coming today between 3 and 5 to fix the leak under the kitchen sink that i discovered yesterday. who knows how long its been leaking like that. i have tried to avoid the kitchen as much as possible in these last few months because it has required leaving the sanctuary and dealing with "him" on my pass thru. i doubt it's been leaking that long, but given the fact that the rug is always there, which would soak up any water, and also that i always where house slippers or flip flops in the house, i doubt that i would know if i stepped in anything wet, until yesterday when i moved the rug to do some work in the kitchen and noticed that i kept having to mop up water in the exact same spot. at first i thought i must have spilled water over when i did the dishes, but later when i went into the kitchen there was more water, so i knew i had a leak at that point. we have service contract so the fee will be a flat $45 no matter what work they do, which at this point is a lifesaver as i am on a very strict budget.
all of this being on a budget has left me thinking about all those days i didn't have to worry about money, how i wasted money on little things, 2 or 3 dollars here and there really adds up. these days i don't spend money on anything that isn't a necessity. i'm trying to save all my pennies so that i can have just a little nestegg and get rid of all this debt that has been so easily accumulated in this marriage.
so today's goals are pretty simple, i need to get the girls on the stick and get some cleaning done around here before the plumber comes. it's not hard or difficult work, but they are not going to want to do it willingly. i need them to help me though because i have so much to do. the other task is to start going through those damn papers which are driving me mad. i had to clear the desk today just to find dell's 800 number for service. everything is such a damn mess. i opened the computer file and there was all this dumb information for the packard bell computer that shot craps or we got rid of years ago. why do i need information for the computer we had 2 computers back? see this is exactly the crap i need to get rid of. so i have a lot to do today in terms of organizing and getting things done, but before i can do that i have some basic cleaning to do, basic picking up and the running of the vaccuum cleaner.
right now though it is 9:16 and i am dying to lay down and just go back to sleep and get rid of this headache i woke up with. i wonder if i could ... just lay down for an hour or two... just to get rid of this headache so i can wake up and start over again? the hot bubble bath i took opened my chest and head up so i can breathe again... yes, i'm thinking that's just what i need...
so i'm going to put the old sleep mask on, roll up in my blankets, forget that we have a telephone and catch a few zzzzzzzzzzzz's to get rid of this headache...
hopefully i can wake up in a few hours... headache free and ready to take on this day
