my last couple of days!
so, i had to work on thursday. i woke up at 5:30 a.m. (this is important to keep in mind as you read), showered, got ready and took off. my car needed gas, and i realize that i don't have my debit card, i use 10 of 20 bucks i had in my purse...fill up at 2.75 a gallon (YIKES!) and then go back home. i find my debit card, go to starbucks, buy two coffees (one for me and one for kathy) and then i go to work. i then proceed to work all day, lifting, pushing, dragging, organizing, all in an effort to get our school ready for the beginning of the year. i leave work at about 3, and have to be downtown at 3:30 to meet with my other boss regarding a class i'll be teaching on the 20th. i get there right on time, and i have to organize my binder full of new materials and we talk about the class. i don't leave until about 5:45, and i hit traffic on the way home. of course i do because downtown is a good 30 miles from home and everyone and there mom is trying to get home at 5:45. i finally get home at about 6:30.
phew. now...as i exit my car, my back is killing me. i have a bad back and a lot of times, i over exert myself without even trying to. i practically limped through the door. anyway, i was feeling shitty and asked nick to go get fast food (he likes to be at my house all the time, which i think will change as soon as he gets cable!), so he goes and gets it, comes back and we eat at about 7. nick leaves a little before 9 and i start to get ready to go to sleep. then, the phone rings. this is about 9:15, my sister fell at work, needs to go the er and guess who gets to take her? me! the original plan was for her to come home and i take her to the hospital nearby, so i'm waiting on her. she calls half an hour later and says no, can i meet her at the local one by her job in silver lake. i say fine, and leave at 10 and arrive there at 10:30. she's not there. in fact, she doesn't get there until a little before 11. and then we wait. and wait and wait. she didn't get seen by a doctor until quarter to five. x-rayed at 5:30 and realeased at 7a.m. on friday. i catnapped in the waiting room, maybe a total of 1 hour. i was runnning on empty and had to come home to watch the babies, because it was a weekday.
when we got home, i was fine, running on some starbucks that i bought, and then before i knew it...BAM! asleep at 9a.m., only to wake up at 10:45, thinking i only slept like 5 minutes. i seriously had a break down...my sister called (babies mom) and i started crying and i was frustrated, so she came home early from work at like 1:30, with food! then, i had to pick up my niece and nephew from school because their mom couldn't do it (turns our she fractured her ankle and was put into a splint and given cruthches), so i leave at 2:45 to get them. at 4:30 i leave with nick to pick up my sisters car (someone had driven her to the er, and she couldn't drive) and we get back home at 5:30, again traffic. my mom comes home at 6 with food and we pig out. nick leaves early, around 7, and i start packing more stuff. the more stuff i take now, the less i take later, or something, and i don't get to bed until 9p.m.
the math: 5:30a.m.-5:30a.m. = 24 hours
1 hour sleep = 23 hours being awake out of a possible 24
5:30a.m. -5:30 p.m. = 12 hours
2 hours sleep = 10 hours awake out of 12
23 hours + 10 hours = 33 hours being awake out of 36
5:30 p.m. - 9p.m. = 3.5 hours
3.5 hours + 33 hours = 36.5 hours
conclusion: i was awake for 36.5 hours in a 39.5 hour span. and even after sleeping for a solid 11 hours, i'm extremely tired.
