Feelin' good
I am feeling calm and even excited for the first time in a long while. I am starting to talk to my RL friends again, after feeling like avoiding pretty much everyone for almost a month because I didn't really want to burden them with my crap. I might even start going to church again. One of my friends from there asked me if I could start coming again. Honestly, I don't see why I shouldn't. It could do good. I'm done being basically a shut in, really I am. *sighs*
I also got a call from another RL friend asking me if I could start watching her kids on a regular basis while she's at work. I love her little girls, they are ornery but really sweet, so I said 'why not?' She also said she'd pay me so I won't pretend that's not a bonus. *grins* I told her I wasn't asking for a whole lot. I'm going to meet her on Sunday to discuss the details. She lives in North Kansas City now, so depending on whether I can get there and back easily, she suggested I just stay there on the nights I'm supposed to watch the girls. There would be pros and cons to that arrangement so....I'd have to think about that.
I'm feeling pretty sleepy but I know that I won't sleep for another 3 or 4 hours. I really hate when my body does that. I woke up pretty late today. My sleep schedule's been all screwed up for a few days now, but it seems to me that I don't really fall asleep until the hour I got up. So let's say I go to bed around 3 in the morning. I won't wake up until 3 to 3:30 in the afternoon, and won't get to bed again til that same hour. This is because I don't have to get up at a certain time. At least until Monday. /Then/ I have to get up mucho early. Like 5 am. I haven't had to get up that early since high school. Dios mio. This will be an interesting 9 weeks. (Or more. My friend's job is a temp until they decide whether they'll hire her full time or not.)
