Hell Morning of WTF
We were set to be inspected by the county today; I'd tried to stay awake for it, but it didn't really go that well. I mean, the inspection was fine, but my ability to sleep through it was so not happening. I have this double-edged skill that allows me to wake up when something is about to happen. I wake up if my phone is about to ring, if the doorbell is going to go off, if someone is outside my door with the intention of speaking to me -- all very useful things. However, it also means I can't sleep through even expected events. Even though I knew my alertness would be unnecessary for the inspection, I woke up nonetheless. Just in time to have the light cruelly snapped on and the goddamn smoke alarms' test to go off. I went back to sleep fairly easily after that, only to be woken up again by a very loud and very unfamiliar voice in the living room. As my dream-addled brain struggled to make the distinction between reality and fantasy, Noah (awake because he knew he wouldn't have been able to sleep through the inspection and because he wanted to reset his sleep schedule) told me that it was an insurance salesman. Cue me becoming even more confused. Eventually I came to long enough to determine this guy's voice was entirely too loud and that Mom probably let him in out of loneliness. But a traveling insurance salesman? In this day and age? Go figure, I guess. I confess, for a brief second I wondered just how safe such a thing was, but after listening to him for a bit, I realized he was harmless. He left in good time (to me; Noah said he'd been there for awhile) and I was able to sleep for a few more hours.
Noah's taking a nap right now. I said I'd wake him up after seminar was over at nine. I personally won't have a problem easing into a better sleep schedule regardless of how much sleep I've gotten the day of. I'm actually glad he's decided to do this without my prompting. I think he's tired of getting up so late, too. I have to get into the mode of sleeping sooner and getting up earlier in preparation for my clinicals in late August. I'll definitely get more work done if I stay up throughout the day. Both schoolwork and commissions can be addressed, thus lifting my responsibility load further from my shoulders. I don't like it when things loom over me, prodding me to get things done or reminding me they need to be done. I'm already a week ahead in my clinical comp class; just have to do a project or two for this week and for week 5. Week 5 is apparently very crucial. I take the pre-clinical exam that week and receive my assignment. Very exciting and terrifying at the same time.
I think for now I'm going to watch an episode of Stars until seminar begins, then I have some work for my dietary class to get done.
