Not Sleeping

Call it a case of my brain just not shutting off, but I am sitting here at 1 this morning, unable to shut my eyes and go to sleep.

Mum called from Cincinnati, so they're 8 hours out. Tomorrow's estimate of afternoon arrival is looking pretty fine.

Unfortunately, my inability to actually crash is going to make me very tired tomorrow, and I have a lot of stuff to accomplish. This is not good.

I'm sitting at the computer because I honestly couldn't think of anything that might put me to sleep faster. My head's getting a bit heavier, so yay there.

I'm going to go try sleeping again.

Ta,
Bec

PS: Succeeded in sleeping and managed to get out the door this morning to get my tickets and Permit to March Card.

Made sure my name was right on my diploma (and got a sneak peek in the process-shh!) then made my way down to the library to hand off one of my three tickets to Marie.

And found the third was missing. Two cards were in my hand.

Drat.

So I turned around and retraced my steps, figuring I'd dropped it.

Nothing.

So I caught the bus, figuring I could pick up a spare and get it to Marie tomorrow when I come in for march practice.

THEN I went back to the bus, opened up my bag again.

Three cards.

WTF?

So the missing card was on me all along but apparently I couldn't see it, even when I dug down into my stuff to FIND the damned thing.

SO NOW I'm going to either bust my buns going back to campus to get the card to Marie or I'm going to give it to her tomorrow. Probably the latter. I have about six more things to do today and that wasn't in the plan.

Marie will get her card, just later than I thought she would.

AUGH.

Still later:

Mom called at 11:15 and said they were going to be in Charleston at noon.

She said they'd be here at 9 tonight. Pah. It's five hours from here to there and I just looked at it, so they'll be here around 5.

No matter. All the things that needed doing today have been done.

I'm eating anyway. I've been going since dawn without a break so I earned the fish and chips.

Talk to you later,
Bec
