I need to GTF out of my grandma's. House sitting for her is taking me out by degrees.  Every night I've slept at her house, I have these frustratingly boring dreams that I wake myself out of.  It used to be once or twice a night but now with all the sleep debt I'm accumulating, the count is way higher. I've been spending a couple nights a week at friend's houses to keep myself together, but after three weeks of this, I caved and went home in between my job shifts.

I slept through FOUR alarms and got to work late.  /is dead.

My days are pretty much as follows

5:30 a,, - get up, shower, huddle under three comforters to warm up because the house' internal temps are about 55/60 at that hour, make breakfast, feed cat, pack  purse, GTFO

6:30 - walk for thirty minutes uphill to a bus stop.
8:00-12:00- JOB A (unless it is monday, in which case, 4:00) - this is either crazy busy and high pressure, or dead quiet and nervewracking
12:00-4:00 - Travel to other job/desk/meeting/walmart, local shop, grab lunch, scrape dinner. Traveling takes up two hours of this time.
4:00-8:30 - JOB B  - dead boring or heavy lifting and always unspeakably frustrating
8:30-9:30 - more travel
9:45 - check email, and look baffled at where time went.  Feed cat. 
I DO THIS ROUGHLY SIX TIMES A WEEK, only I get an hour to sleep in on fridays and three hours to sleep in on sunday. Saturdays are free, fridays I get out a bit early.

Even that's not so bad, but when you fact in the sleeping or the way my subconcious has decided to assimilate Inception rules as fast as is humanly possible, it gets exhausting.  Plus, there is my favorite and most exhausting holiday going on: Ramadan.

I've never used the Ramadan exemption for travelers before, but this time, I'm caving because my life does in fact involve more than 24 kilometers of travel every day.  Since I have one day to run any errands that aren't on my daily routes, I usually end up running around then too.

I'm half-way through a BBB beta and I think I'm just going to make loads of coffee tonight and finish it. it's been a week of staring blearily at it on googledocs through four different computers four times a day at different times a day for five minutes.  At one point, I think I caught myself typing a maintenance request in my notes where my feedback would be and emailing my feedback to the janitors.  This was very confusing for the janitors because I am a line beta, so they essentially got an polite email about grammar suggestions in suggestive scenes, with a reminder about present tense and past tense.   They took it very well, as I have accidentally emailed them poems and chat conversations by mistake instead of the actual request.  :)
