It's about 5:18am as I write this. I've been awake for over an hour now; some other odd dream waking me up, and then unable to sleep again. Between problems with the well (it's been nearly a week now!) and financial worries, I haven't had this much stress since the Nortel days. Thankfully I went to bed a little earlier last night, but even so I've been averaging between 4 and 5 hours of sleep the last few days. I don't think I can keep this up much longer.
I had planned to have a sponge-bath at the shop yesterday, but the issues with the Munchkin (which turned out to be totally bogus, IMO) prevented that. So now it's been almost a week since I've had a chance to shower or bathe, and I feel like my skin is crawling. The plan now is to try to go in early, and do this before I open the shop in the morning. I've also got to get that blasted well unfrozen - it shouldn't have taken this long for that blasted thing to thaw out. The last week-and-some has seen Murphey doing some of his worst, and constantly kicking me while I'm down. I know there are a lot of people out there who are far worse off than I am, but in my little world, this is a pretty miserable time. I'm sure someday I'll look back on this and laugh, but not right now.
