I am so tired and exhausted lately that I just don’t feel like doing anything. I can’t sleep and I think I have become immune to the Ambien. It doesn’t seem to be doing anything for me anymore. It doesn’t knock me out anymore and it’s not allowing me to sleep through the night. Not getting any good sleep makes me lazy and unsociable.
Last night was especially bad because it was very windy outside. I live atop of tall hill, so when it’s windy in Austin, it’s like tornado winds at my apartment. I have a fireplace in my bedroom, and I’m on the third floor, so when it’s windy out I can hear the wind whipping through the chimney and howling in my fireplace. I could hear the screens on my bedroom window rocking. And on top of all of that every time a big gust of wind hit, I could hear something (maybe the rain gutter?) slamming into the side of the building and rattling. Who could sleep through all of that?
OH! And then around 3am I was tossing and turning and just as I started to doze off, I swear to you, I very clearly heard two people whisper in unison, “We’re here!” It was the creepiest thing ever! I was totally freaked out. It wasn’t like a dream, and I had just turned in my bed, so I couldn’t have fallen asleep already. I probably have ghosts. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve lived in a haunted apartment.
Needless to say, although I will anyway, I didn’t get any good sleep last night.
Before all this sleep deprivation and spirits whispering, I was watching television. I watched American Idol. It was kind of boring. I was happy that little cowboy made it to Hollywood. He was funny! I loved when he said it was the first time he’d ever been out in public and that he’s only used to singing to his turkey. His voice was REALLY nice, but he needed some coaching. I think he’ll do pretty good if he can get that coaching. I liked him because of how excited he got about going, it seemed like it was the happiest moment of his life.
I also watched Skating with Celebrities, and it was GOOD. I wish they had shown more of the practicing and the “celebrities” falling and getting hurt, but I still enjoyed it thoroughly. I was mad at how poor they rated Kristy Swanson, I thought she did much better than Todd Bridges and Bruce Jenner. I think Bruce only got such high scores because of sentimental reasons.
Ok well I should get to doing some more work now. Laters!
