So here it is, nearing three o'clock in the morning, and I am STILL AWAKE.
Beloved went to bed hours upon hours ago, somewhere around about eleven o'clock, and since I was sitting around in bed trying to converse with him and making mental lists of things that needed done, and neither one of us was going to get any sleep that way... I decided to get up and do some of the things that I was talking about doing, and let the poor boy get his sleep for work tomorrow.
First on the list? I've been doing some serious epic slacking (August of 2007, anyone?) with regards to some paperwork my trust needed in order to continue helping me pay for things. Things like, say, medical/dental bills. Or that school thing I'm looking into going to. Or the chiropractor I really really need to start seeing again. (More on that later.)
So now that I actually have a) my hard drive from the laptop that gave out on me (Nemu, my HP), b) an external enclosure for said hard drive, c) my old, broken Dell (poor Adrian!) with this year's tax forms, d) all the time in the world, and e) some motivation... I have attached both files to the email, promised a copy of my ID in the next week, written a rather more long-winded than intended email, and sent it! At.. around two-thirty in the morning. Go me. Rather high on the list of Things Not To Do at Two/Three am is "send an important email without proofreading it after some good sleep and a little more common sense."
Closely followed by "noisy cleaning/organizing of the apartment while your significant other is asleep, much like the rest of the apartment complex and most of the city", and various other things I have thus far had the prudence to avoid doing.
Most of the rest of my list of Things To Do actually has to be done during daylight hours, as it involves more interaction with the real world. Job hunting cannot be done at three in the morning, despite all wishes to the contrary. Nor can I go to Staples to print my resume and make a scan of my ID (can I even do that there? I may have to come home disappointed and dredge up Beloved's scanner and all the bits for it), or start finding peculiar and awesome places to build pieces of my wire shelving unit.
I also need to get the apartment in some semblance of order if I plan to seriously host Halloween here, and clear out/organize the office so that we can get the apartment manager to come in and fix the heater before it gets really cold again. It's a wee bit cluttered in here as it is right now.
I also need to finish unpacking the suitcase from my trip (yes, I haven't done that yet), and get the bedroom all put away neat and out of the way so I don't have to worry about it. More things to be gotten rid of, more things to consolidate and organize, and for that matter, more things simply to unpack! The entire living room/entertainment system hasn't been properly unpacked and set up yet; the DVD player is still in the boxes of electronics in the office.
There are pens to test and throw out if found lacking, games and DVDs to alphabetize, cabinets and drawers to organize! Furniture to rearrange, carpets to vacuum, floors to-- oh, frell. I forgot to put Swiffer wet cloths on the Costco list before we went this morning. Oh well. We've got Clorox wipes somewhere, those'll do.
MY HICCUPS HAVE COME BACK AGAIN. I have had the hiccups off and on ALL DAY today. And so far, nothing I've done has successfully gotten rid of them except for waiting them out. Suck.
In any case, it's now coming up on.. nay, passing, even, four o'clock in the morning. And yet I'm still awake. Still going, though I'm tired I am by no means sleepy. My back hurts, as I seem to have injured myself somehow (probably that accursed couch, it lures me in with the comfy and then when I get up again it's all aches and pains). It appears to be centered somewhere between my upper thigh and my middle back, twinging when I move in certain ways, aching when I sit weird, and generally making things difficult.
Ooh! A yawn! The first of many. I am beginning to think I could actually sleep if I went now, though I'm terribly afraid I will lose my drive to work and do and clean, if I sleep now. Three hours and Beloved will be up to get ready for work. Four and a half, and my alarm would ordinarily be going off.
I wonder, should I turn it off now, or let it wake me and decide then? I might get by on short sleep tonight, if it helps me get things done and then rest well tomorrow night. If the alarm doesn't make me want to hide from the light of day, that is. Noon is optimal sleep if I go now, which seems really ridiculous when I consider my usual schedule.
Ah, well. Whenever I get up, I get up. And hopefully, I will be rested and ready to continue the awesomeness which I have begun tonight!
I shall now take the cat, and go. Good night, all! ♥!
