Today
I got my $10 copy of Windows XP from the IU bookstore this afternoon, and wasn't that an adventure. Actually, not really. It's been raining here, constantly, since Sunday night. Just this constant gray drizzle punctuated with short burst of heavy rain. Everything's wet and cold. I sat outside in it today for an hour before I realized the bus wasn't coming. I don't know why it didn't come; there was a bus going in the other direction. That gave me hope when I was about to give up and go back inside, but fifteen minutes later the bus I wanted still hadn't come.
So I drove to the IMU. Thankfully I didn't have to pay for parking. I wish I'd realized that sooner - classes aren't in session yet so I guess it makes sense that parking's not restricted at the moment. If I'd realized that, I wouldn't have bothered waiting for the bus.
So I have XP now. I get my new computer on Friday!
I've worked out two days in a row now, so that makes me happy, and I actually wrote fiction last night (gasp)! My sleep schedule is all messed up, though. I was so wired last night for some reason, and I didn't get to sleep until 7 am. This was after going to bed at 2 am, getting up to read because I couldn't sleep, going back to bed at 4 am, and then tossing and turning because I just wasn't tired. And then I woke up today at noon, and didn't feel refreshed at all. I don't feel like I've gotten a good night's sleep the past several days. I don't know what's up. I really don't want to go through the insomnia thing again. It plagued me all through me junior and senior years of college, but I thought I'd gotten over it when I left. I really hope I've got all this sleep stuff worked out before Monday.
