ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Dear god it's FREEZING in here this morning - like my hands hurt from the cold. And yet I know that by 2-3pm it'll be so stuffy and hot in here that I'll literally be sweating, and it'll be uncomfortable to breathe.
No Ambien last night for the first time in a while - I have 1 left, and I want to know I really need it, which is stupid I'm sure because i can refill the prescription, but whatever. Slept badly - longest uninterrupted period was 2 hours, then from 11pm on (when I was woken by a severe headache that actually played with my vision when I got up to get Advil, took about a minute of standing in the dark before I could see anything other than flashing lights) I was awake every hour at least once. Got up at 5:30, and knock on wood no headache, but I'm tired, and my joint pain is distracting.
Drove Kelsey to a spaghetti dinner for the track team, and saw that we won't be holding one at our house anytime soon. The whole track team was there - like 50 kids - just trying to find places for them to park their cars on my street would be a nightmare. Also had to have a discussion about the fact that I am not happy that after going through everything for Kelsey to have her license, and finding a second car so she could get herself around when she wanted or needed, I'm still expected to be a taxi for her, simply for the fact that she cannot drive her friends yet, and her friends cannot drive themselves yet - she does not want to show up to places alone, and doesn't think it's "fair" on the parents of these kids to have to "drive both ways" to something like a movie, the mall, a spaghetti dinner. I understand the whole after track carpool thing - the school does not allow anyone who is not a senior to drive to school, and practice is right after school so she can't come home, get the car, and go back, but other than that, she needs to make this a "few and far between" request.
Second morning of listening to "Shop Girl" on audiobook, read by Steve Martin (who also wrote it) - I am more and more impressed as it goes on, he has a great way of describing things in a vivid manner, reminds me of Douglas Adams in how I react, like "I NEVER thought of it that way before!". Wasn't sure I was going to like it, but I'm hooked.
