Sleep is Nuts
So, I find it immensely perplexing that yesterday, I worked a 9 hour shift on 3 hours of sleep, and felt relatively fine until about 8pm last night, and I got 8 hours of sleep last night, worked the same shift, with little-to-no atmospheric changes, and feel like utter shit all morning? I also feel like my cold is coming back, as my sinuses are screaming at me at the top of their lungs and my cough is getting worse. For a while there, I was thinking it was my annual bout with Smoker's Cough, but given that I feel more cold symptoms coming on (again...), I'm willing to bet my cold never really went away. I need medicine.
Ya know, i used to never get sick. It was a rare and severe thing that I ever got sick, and when I did, it was a violent, horrid sort of sickness that lasted weeks at a time. Now, i get sick every month or so, though not as severe. The sicknesses are just sort of annoying. I'm not sure which I prefer, honestly.
Work today felt like hell. In the beginning of the shift, I was achy and tired and coughing a shitload (I still am). On lunch, i went to Dunkin Donuts and got a coffee, which made me feel better, but work sucked for different reasons. The dishwasher went home sick, so I ended up playing Deli Clerk, Deli Shift Supervisor (from 4-5) and dishwasher. While the kitchen was extremely grateful for it,. it still didn't prevent me from running around like a madman, trying to serve customers, assign breaks, answer questions (both my other clerks were new) and wash the dishes. I really should get paid more.
My mother called and asked for my address so Joe and her could send me stuff for Christmas. Money, namely. Which is good. i shudder to think what the gifts would be like otherwise.
Up until this point, I have told everyone not to buy me anything, because I'm not going to be able to buy anything for anyone else - but I think I'm changing my mind. At least on my mother, my sister, and my nephew. No one else, though.
I think I'm going to get my mother a deck of Tarot Cards and a book that teaches her how to do them, now that I don't live close enough to do them for her :-) Of course, I could always charge her $1.99 a minute and do them over the phone in a Jamaican accent. That sounds kinda appealing :-P
I made this really kick-ass pasta last night that I really should post the recipe for here. I think I will - however, I'm thinking of creating a filter for people who would be interested in that sort of thing.
So, question of the hour - how many people would be interested in seeing recipes from Yours Truly in my LJ? Those who respond with a yes will be filtered in for it. Those who don't respond will not see them.
