I’m freelancing in an office this week and I like it. One of the people I work with has a TARDIS on her desk, and the guy who sits next to me brings me Fritos and sounds like David Bromstad from Colorsplash. I love listening to him talk. I worked a couple of days for this place back in 2010, so it’s nice to be back. The place has nice vibes and the office is gorgeous. And of course, making extra $$ is always a good thing.
Working onsite means I have to be on a normal sleep schedule. Actually, I managed to regulate myself when I went to Disney World. Having only three hours of sleep or so that first day really made me sleepy that night, so I was able to get up at a decent hour the next morning. (We won’t talk about what happened during a few of the nights after I got back. The night owl lives long and hard in me.) I didn’t sleep well Sunday or Monday night, though, and I paid for it Tuesday. I was really tired all day. I crashed EARLY, but I felt OK when I woke up today. So I’m normal… for now at least!
I’ve discovered the Mad Men Volume 1 score and it is FANTASTIC. It’s only 36 minutes, though, so it goes by quickly. But it’s really good music. Listening to Torchwood now.
I am SO READY for summer to be here. I know the days are getting longer every day, but I really am tired of it being pitch black by 6pm. It was worse when it was pitch black by 4:15pm–thank God we won’t have to worry about that again for several months. Isn’t it funny? I’m such a night owl, but I love my long summer days.
Other Things I Love About Summer
1. It’s warm/hot.
2. Wearing dresses, tank tops, and shorts.
3. Walking places isn’t as big a hassle.
4. I can do a “wash and wear” for my hair in the mornings (if I’m actually UP at such a time!) without worrying about it freezing.
5. Cookouts.
6. Berries in season.
7. Aidan’s here!!!
8. No need to wear 45983758953075 layers of clothing and outerwear.
9. No snow, ice, sleet and other assorted horrible weather stuff.
There are some bad things, too. Things like thunderstorms, mosquitos, idiots who break into cars, and loud parties. But that doesn’t stop me from craving summer. Only 120 days.
Target had a sale last week: Buy one Sims game, get one free. This was me when I discovered the sale:
I got Generations and Pets, the two most expensive ones that I didn’t already have. I haven’t played much of them yet. Waiting ’til I get through this week of freelancing to really commit.
I really, really, really want to go back to Disney World. I haven’t even consumed all the snacks I brought home from my most recent trip. But that doesn’t stop me from wanting to be there! I mean, we didn’t even get a chance to ride Spaceship Earth. What?
Oh well. We’ll be back there before long.
I’d better go do the responsible thing and get ready for bed. The word on the street is that tomorrow is going to be a long one. I’d better get a lot of rest. I need make sure I’m stocked on Red Thunder[1. Aldi’s brand of Red Bull] in case I get drowsy. And also snacks.
‘Til next time!
Can I ask you how the heck you get through the day without sleep. If I do not get 9 hours a night I am one mean ass woman and I cannot function…….
Well… adrenaline and energy drinks. But a couple of days later it usually catches up with me and I crash hard. Insomnia sucks, though.
I agree with Mommybagsblog. I need sleep like a fish needs water. Glad to hear you’re working on assignment though. Have a great time.
I love to sleep. But sometimes my body/mind just won’t let me! In the case of that first day at Disney, it was adrenaline and excitement that kept me going.
I’m another girl who needs her sleep! I don’t know how you function.
PS I love berry season.

By sleeping a LOT on the weekends! 😀
Just a side note – our “Winter” has been sooooooo – that the mosquitoes never went away!
That’s the bad part about mild winters. We’re getting a few deep freezes here and there, so I’m hoping they’re sufficient.
