Not a nice day. Too much to do, and naturally, not nearly enough time. I'd have to clone three of me to get everything done. As it is, I'm working late and for a few hours on the weekends.
My wireless modem decided to crap out on me today about sixteen months after the original purchase. After some online researching (on my work computer), I found out that more than likely it's the power adapter, so I ordered one from AT&T. (Evidently it's a common issue for the 2Wire modems--the power supply was under-designed and typically fails at the twelve to eighteen month mark.) But I probably won't get it until sometime next week. I hope the power supply is the problem, because I'm without internet now, and I don't really want to spend $120 on a new wireless modem.
I've been extremely stressed out this week. I haven't slept well at all. I can't seem to fall asleep at night, however tired I feel during the day, and what sleep I do get is interspersed with periods of wakefulness. I went off all the decongestants I was taking over a week ago, and try to limit my caffeine intake to the mornings. If this keeps up, I may have to temporarily quit my morning coffee for a while.
My private issues are really weighing on me. The insomnia may be related.
The pharmacy keeps delaying my prescription refill for my birth control. I don't need it for another ten days or so, but the delay is not comforting. It was delayed three days ago, and I haven't heard anything from them since.
Of course, compared to what's going on in Haiti right now, my life is cake. I see all these terrible images of people homeless and/or injured, but oddly enough, the images that bother me the most are the ones taken of the absolutely devastated presidential palace. Seeing that, I can only think about how much they have struggled already and how it's going to take a terribly long time for them to get on their feet again. It seems like the devastation of hope itself just looking at it.
A bad note to end an entry on, but what can I say?--things suck a little today.
