I am having a hard time feeling sleepy as if I have been given my second wind for the night. Once again I have a late night and Tuesday night I did not get to sleep until after 4 a.m. and right now it is 2:15 a.m. What in the world am I doing differently that is making me unable to sleep by midnight? Nothing different that I can see or think of. I have had a fairly busy week with school and had an appointment with my counselor on Monday, and my sleep has been one of those things I DID NOT discuss with her about. OOPS! I am going to start taking melantonin or something to help me sleep by 10:30 p.m.. I seem to have a full and productive day when I go to bed before midnight but not the past two nights! Right now and this minute, this second, I want to go to bed but can’t sleep. What is on my mind now? DANG!

Today was a fairly good day for the most part. Got nothing done much in school today until later in the evening when my company had left after 9:30 p.m.. As a matter of fact, when my company came for her visit, she was going to do my dishes in my kitchen sink when the garbage disposal was backing up into the other side of the sink with gross looking water. She had called the maintenance man and he came up to see what was going on and he may have found the problem but he is not going to be able to get to the just of the problem until tomorrow and if he can not fix the situation, he is going to have to call someone else to come into my place and take care of the problem. It sure got kind of smelly for a bit but it was not too strong thankfully. It was gross and yucky, though. When I saw the water backed up in my sink, I wanted to throw up, that’s for sure.

Is DD faster tonight? It seems to be faster now. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that a lot of people are on the same server at the same time and it just slows down to a snail’s pace. Hmm?

Be back later. Good night and God bless.

Well, my world lately has been a roller coaster ride but not a bad roller coaster ride actually. It has been a fairly good roller coaster ride for a change. Have you ever experience a good roller coaster ride? I haven’t for a long time but do remember the actual roller coaster rides I have ridden at Great America and MGM Studios. Anyway, my life has been a little bumpy but not too bad and the little bumps are little lessons of life that I am learning to cope with a stronger back bone but yet I still have some learning to do. I just learned to have a bigger back bone in the past two months now. Anyway, tomorrow brings on a new — a brand new day — and I will be busy … fairly busy anyway. I have an appointment with my counselor and I have some homework to finish up that is due tomorrow by 11:59 p.m.. I have it pretty much done except for a third of the assignment that I have been working on for the past two days now. For the past few hours now it has been fairly quiet even though I did get out to run an errand thanks to a good friend of mine who was in the area and did not ask for gas money for his truck. I did ask my friend why he never asked for gas money from me and he told me that because he was in the area and could help me out during the week, he was not going to charge me gas money unless he really had to, and he knew that if I could give him a few dollars from time to time he would never argue the point about gas. Anyway, I still think that the gas prices are outrageous but they have come down some in the past two weeks or so.

Time for me to run and get ready for bed. My “Little Man” Bing Noel Crosby is sleeping on the bed and he is waiting patiently for me to come lay with me. I I am going to say good night for now and come back another day…maybe tomorrow if time allows.

Today marks the anniversary for my friend KW and her husband. I believe they were married in 1994. Anyway, that is not the reason why I am in need of venting but I do have to admit that JW had an attitude when he spoke to me on the phone and I really needed to talk to KW. I am getting sick and tired of sitting on the sidelines waiting for her to call me back when she said she will and that she does not go to bed until 2 a.m. in the morning and she calls me before she goes to bed. Honestly, she has company over day until wee hours until after midnight and her I have company everyday in the evening for only two hours a night but never past 10 p.m. at night out of respect for the neighbors around me. I just want to scream and cry and say if KW and JW do not get their attitudes straightened out, I will not call them for a while because my schedule is busy for the next several weeks and KW’s schedule is filled as well.
