Heartburn, insomnia.
Part of me can't sleep because of dinner, which was a chicken finger garbage plate from Henrietta Hots.
Part of me can't sleep because of my sleeping patterns this week. I felt like crap as previously described, and that continued all week to manifest itself in gross/annoying ways. This culminated in collapsing into bed around 5:45 on Thursday evening for a 2.5 hour sleep, which was soon followed by a full night's sleep. Another solid night's sleep on Friday , which came on the heels of a nice evening: Talladega Nights at the Dollar Theater with KK, Meg, and Doug, which was followed by a trip to the Baird Road Pub out in Fairport.
Part of me can't sleep because of ridiculous little anxieties, which are nothing compared to what I know some of you are going through, so I cut it so you don't have to read it.
A cascade of issues stem from the thought of: What am I bringing to the Language Community Potluck tomorrow? Seriously. This is what makes me lose sleep. (Are people going to the function even? Whitney (I can't remember your username because it's long), are you feeling better/going? PR, ACA, KC, NK?) I mean, this is CLS we're talking about, so there's really no pressure, but it's me we're talking about. That web page is delightfully out-dated, like mine. It says it was updated September '06, but c'mon. SBS? magnolia77sc? Anyhoo, I could show up at this thing with a bottle of wine and be kind of fine in everybody's eyes, but I'd feel lazy, especially as (if I either don't ever fall asleep OR I get up before 5 PM) I've got time tomorrow.
Ideally, tomorrow, I'll run some errands I meant to run today then head out to Wegmans to pick up stuff for cooking. But at the hour I'm at - 2:55 - it's unlikely I'll have time enough to do ALL that I want to do. Namely take some things to a dry cleaner, find a tailor to do alterations on my suit, have a pre-emptive coffee stocking-up at Parkleigh, perhaps spend $2 at a liquor store, then spend 6 hours roasting pork, somewhere in there baking or making a soup to take with me If soup: Onion & cheese is winning the flavor race, but all that onion-slicing, oi! Especially for.. how many people? Should I bring bowls? keep it in my crockpot for the trip over to Joyce's? My crockpot angered me earlier this week when it failed to heat my chili on Wednesday. It spent 8 hours at room temperature, but I don't seem to have contracted any food poisoning issues. If baking: standard recipe of something like banana bread or pumpkin chocolate chip cookies? Schadenfreude pie? Or should that wait until Wednesday? If pork: do I really have 5-8 hours required for this project tomorrow? Yes, if I'm up by, oh, 8 AM. That's just not happening. I want the pulled pork, but I also want to sleep now, and I want to show up at Joyce's on time, and maybe there's no other good time to do it this week.
I leave on Friday for Brad & Jen's wedding, which brings with it all the usual issues. What to wear? Ah, of course, my black suit which doesn't yet fit me just right because I need to get a tailor. How much will these alterations cost? Iunoh. Can they be done in time? Probably not. How much money will I sink into this trip? Plane ticket, check. Wedding present, not yet but that can be done later. Really it's the food that kills. And the drinking out. All those 'incidentals'. I really ought to have a credit card for these sorts of situations, on the off chance that monthlies & my usual foolishness dry me out by then. Plus see above about the alterations, a haircut...
It's kind of tempting to go to Wegmans right now. Really, I should be attempting to get some work done, but I never have that urge, of course. Nope... Maybe I'll rip some CDs then try again to sleep.
I've been hoping that this entry will help me just get these thoughts out so I can sleep, but maybe not. Blah..
