Insomniac

I was ALL excited to morph into a new, morning-loving me....and then proceeded to become and insomniac. How unfair is that?!?!

I have not been able to deter the trend, either. None too happy about it!

At least I was productive on Sunday. I organized my drawers and closets, put away all the laundry I did on Saturday, scrubbed the bathroom, planned my dinner, shopped for ingredients, cooked it AND cleaned ALL the dishes...went through my spending and bills, put work onto a site profile to help find a job, and started a cartoon of a woman in a ridiculous fur coat walking her similarly coated dog that I saw the other morning. Soo...yea, somethings done!

But yea, I got up at 7:40 after a night of tossing and turning and waking up on the hour. I know my weekend activities didn't help (parties Friday, just up late Saturday)...but still. Last Monday was such a tease! Any suggestions for getting to sleep easier??

In any case, things I need to-do tonight are: get a hair cut, pack for Tim's (for an overnight trip), finish cartoon, job schtuff, and some exercise. And of course get some sleep!

Oh, and how do you like the new color scheme? I liked my doodle so much, but it is kind of an odd tone to really hold up as a header. I may change it/add color at some point....but for now, how is this??

Morning Person?

Today I am feeling...very much awake!

Dare I believe I am turning into the morning person I have been trying to morph into for so long?? I hope so. I've been trying to wake up earlier for awhile, and failing. But today I am quite awake! Maybe thanks to a weekend on sleeping in??

Trying to change a lot of habits in my life. I had signed up for livestrong.com a couple months ago, and have neglected it...I think it's time to start re-tracking my progress. Back to better habits!

Mouse!

This better be on a sticky trap in my apartment when I get home tonight. Amanda and I have seen these little buggers and thought they were getting in through the kitchen. We had the exterminator that comes through the building give us a bunch of traps and put poison behind our stove...and a week later nada. Last night, one RUNS from about the kitchen to under the recliner in the living room! He is trapped. We can't do much but put a couple traps around it and hope he is dumb enough to step on one. Of course not. When I am engrossed in House, it runs out and under the BEDROOM door! Mana and I scramble to see where it goes...to find there is a space between the molding and floor where this mouse disappears. So now there are three sticky traps in that vicinity and there damn sure better be a muse caught!

Although we have the cleanest mice ever. There is absolutely no evidence of them until we see them scurry...maybe because they live in the building's wall? In any case, they don't chew anything or poop anywhere. Just run across the floor and freak Amanda and me out.

Weird. But I still want them out!
