Sundayness

This day did not start off well at all. I had the most horrible night of sleep last night. It took me forever to fall asleep. I shut the TV off at about 11:30, and I was still awake two hours later. Then I was up at 2:30 for a trip to the bathroom and I'm pretty sure I was awake on and off from then until I finally got up at about 8:30. I got up exhausted, but it wasn't any good laying there - I just couldn't sleep. So I started off my day physically exhausted.

There are probably a couple of reasons that I couldn't get to sleep. The simplest is that I drank a soda yesterday, and since I don't drink too many caffeinated beverages, they actually keep me awake if I drink them too late. I thought I finished it early enough, but it could have affected me. The more difficult reason was that when I was laying there waiting to fall asleep, the heat kicked on, because the weather turned cold again. I am almost out of fuel oil, and I was hoping to be able to wait until the 24th to get a new delivery, because that's when I'll be able to pay them. And I wasn't sure if I would have enough, so instead of relaxing and falling asleep, I was tensing up about the possibility of running out of fuel oil in January. I swear, I never used to be a worrier.

(Oh, and I went down and checked my fuel oil this morning, and I am almost out. I just called and left a message on my fuel company's machine, asking if they would deliver the fuel to me this week. I so hate having to ask for favors like that, though.)

Anyway, the day did get better after a while. I'm still cold, because I have my heat set on 58 degrees. I don't dare turn it up, because even if they do deliver to me this week, it won't be until Tuesday, and I really don't want to run out of fuel before then. So I'm layering and covering up. It won't kill me. And the animals have the fur coats going for them, so they're okay.

And I spent the day playing the Sims, and watching TV (General Hosptial and Veronica Mars, and man, season one of Veronica Mars was so good! I wish I got UPN so I could watch season two. Alas, I'll have to wait for it to come on DVD.) And I baked a pan of brownies. Brownies can make just about everything better.

And tomorrow is back to work, and I guess I'll find out how the schedule is going to pan out for when I start my new position. I hope I do well in it. It's nice to have something new to look forward to, though.

Okay, I've rambled long enough. I'm off to enjoy my (admittedly chilly) Sunday night. I hope you all had a great weekend!
