Watch Out World

Guys,

I always seem to conveniently "forget" just how much I need sleep.  Not a little sleep.  I am talking hours and hours of deep, restful, uninterupted sleep.

The terror all started sometime last week when for NO reason my body decided that sleeping was like totes boring and that I didn't need it anymore.  So I would fail to fall asleep.  Or wake up in the middle of the night.  Or sleep so lightly that the cranky cat outside my apartment would wake me.  You catch the drift.

THEN my sister came and stayed for the weekend.  We stayed up til midnight...then woke up at like...early.  It was gross, you guys.  I never knew that it was possible to BE up that early on a Saturday.  barf.

THEN it got stupid-hot super fast in Utah.  And since I am one of the many, the ashamed, the poor college students residing in Provo, I have no money.  Money is what is required to pay for Air Conditioning.  When Spring started I thought it would be such a GREAT idea to not use my AC.  Now that it feels like I somehow transplanted my apartment into the jaws of Hell, I am not so sure this was a good idea.  Call me a whiner all you want, but I MAYBE got three hours of sleep last night.

I have already cried for no reason once at work today.  Anyone who asks me a question I want to murder.

I need chocolate.  I need sleep.  I might need a puppy to help solve this crisis.  And I don't even like puppies.

Someone save me.

    I think we're on the same brain waves because I haven't been sleeping so great myself and I thought it was because of too much light coming into our bedroom in the morning (east facing window--blech), so we put up black out drapes. Well, it's awesome to not have the sun streaming in starting at 5am every day, but apparently that was no the problem keeping me from sleep.

    And it's IMPOSSIBLE to sleep when it's too hot. Something I've tried before is to freeze a corn or rice bag (like the kind that you heat up in the winter) and keep it by my feet or on my legs at night. Also, if you could open a window at night, that might help, if you haven't already tried it. Yeah, AC bills kinda suck a lot in the summer.

    The moral of the story is that my grandparents have a very cold basement that you could have all to yourself for a whole night if you need to get out of your apartment and sleep someplace else. Buy the good ear plugs at Macey's in Provo before you go and definitely use them, and you will have a good chance of sleeping like a baby in a nice, cold, awesomely king sized bed! Seriously, let me know and I can arrange everything. They're house is kind of like a hotel that takes referrals, and they love visitors! Loves!

it has been too long.

You guys, I am sorry.  I really am. I feel connected to you in some way.  I get all excited when you read my blog.  And then I go and let you down by not actually blogging. My bad, guys, my bad. I still don't know what I am doing with my life.  No, scratch that.  I know that I am graduating sometime in the next year.  Now I just need to find full time employment so that I can pay for said semesters, for housing, for "The Cranberry" as Psych so inspired me to call my car. Oh, life.  Sometimes I wish that you had a pause button.  So that I could go on more Sunday Springtime Frolics through the meadows of life.  So that I could write on my blog more.  So that I could be a better friend, roommate, sister, and daughter. But, you don't.  It's like...crappy that you don't.  Life keeps moving forward.  People keep moving on.  And I am left here wondering what I am going to do next. Fortunately, there is music. ...

My Gethsemane

Yesterday was an oh-so-sickly day for me.  My and my stomach waged an epic war which left me laying in my bed for most of the morning and wishing I understood more about why this whole gastroparesis thing (or as I like to call it sometimes, Goob Jr., but I'll explain that more another day) is happening to me. Then i had to put on my grin and bear it face and go to a class that I knew that I just could not miss.  And then haul my sorry sickly body to my favorite place in the world, Divine Comedy rehearsal.  These people just make my life so much more awesome.  And so, I went feeling so gross but knowing that they needed me there with all the props that I had in my car. And somehow I survived. Today, I woke up.  And surprisingly felt much better.  And then I went to my all time favorite class and got to learn more about this talk right here.  And I remembered the way I felt when I first heard this talk, sitting in a lonely LDS chapel in Virginia ...

It is the little things

This has been an exhausting weekend.  Springhaven=joy.  Springhaven=exhaustion.  Springhaven=not going to bed until 4am. I love my DC peeps. In other news, I am so grateful for some very inspired friends who have been there for me this week.  Just so in tune to what I needed this week, whether it was a movie night with three different kinds of ice cream, or home teachers who just knew that drop by visits were what I needed this week.  I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am for my Father in Heaven and the inspiration that He gives to others to help me out in my life.  Thanks friends. Watch for some big changes in my future.  Like, big.  We'll see what happens, but I am hoping for some new and exciting opportunities to start coming my way soonish.  :) Also, I love sweatshirt weather. And leg warmers on Sundays. And hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls and halloween costumes. Man, I should sleep more.  Then you poor soul...
