...I was woken up 3 hours after I had gotten to sleep by a whining Atticus. Turns out he didn't feel well, so I took him outside for some serious bathroom issues.
...Ended up walking face first into a spider-web. Luckily my eyes were still half closed (perhaps the reason for the first sentence), so I just stood there and flailed for a bit and have no idea if anyone saw me at all....bed head, ratty robe, flapping my hands at invisibleness in front of my face.
...Had to PULL Atticus back inside because he wanted to lay in the sun after he was finished. I wanted to lay in the sun too, but I wanted to sleep a lot more.
...Went back to bed where I was woken up 3 hours later...this time by my own biological need and the 4 cups of coffee I had this morning at work.
...Gave up on trying to sleep.
...Attempted to make smart use of my time and clean up some dishes while toasting a breakfast bagel and ended up knocking over a wine glass onto my counter where it broke into 3 main pieces and dozens of tiny shards. I'm more upset over the wine glass than the cleanup. After all, I only have (had) 2 wine glasses, and they actually matched. Granted, I got them at goodwill for like 99 cents over a year ago, but still. They MATCHED.
...I didn't even mention yet the required emergency training I tried to do this morning at work that was literally so BORING I was unable to read it. My eyes glazed over every time I started to read a sentence. I ended up staring at the same words for 5 minutes, shake my head, and try again. I did that for 2 hours before I finally gave up. I can't even begin to describe how biologically impossible it was for me to read the training - it was like my brain and eyes were in cahoots and refused to cooperate.
...Nor did I mention the 2 hours after the above incident in which I mentally bashed my head against my keyboard because I found that common sense has been lost. "Alicia, I can't get my password to work." "Your sign-in name is case-sensitive, did you check that?". "Yes...*whine*....can you come over here and help me???" I walked over, looked at the computer screen where the sign in name was entered as joe smith (not the real name) and repeated "Your sign-in name is case sensitive." "Oh....my sign in name is case sensitive???" This happened to 2 people!!!! Then I heard one of the people help the third person in the room and repeat the SAME FREAKING THING I JUST MENTIONED 4 TIMES, NOT TO MENTION THE 12 TIMES I'VE HARPED ON IT BEFORE.
*Deep breath*
I feel better now.
In other news, I had my first several hours with my trainee last night. I think they went well. Mentally exhausting, but I'm excited about the possibilities.
I bought an iPod shuffle recently, which has been a good motivator to get to the gym when I'm not feeling like it. Kinda like now.
