Now feeling completely fuc wrecked.

The fact that a few days ago, the guy who does the gardening here cut down the tree outside my bedroom hasn’t helped in the slightest. After working through ‘til close on Friday and Saturday nights… I woke up at 7am both this morning and yesterday, thanks to the morning light that now gets in through my window. Which means I’ve had only about eight or nine hours sleep for the two nights.

I’ve been headachey and tired for most of today… thankfully I was able to finish up at 8PM tonight, instead of working until close at 11PM. I’m considering asking to cut back on my hours, but when I think about it, other people manage to do this with much less difficulty (and whinging) than I am. My current thinking is that if I’m better prepared, it won’t be such a problem. I need to make sure I’m getting enough sleep during the week (which, frankly, I should have been doing anyhow)... and put a sheet or summat over my window, to block out the extra light.

Funnily enough, my horoscope had this to say for the last couple of days:

Oct 13th 2006

Growth is a good thing, but you should take a break from pushing yourself right now. Today will not be best spent challenging yourself or starting difficult (if revelatory) conversations. Settle in to a routine right now, and find comfort in doing the same things in familiar patterns. There is something to be said for predictability … plus, if things never got boring, shaking them up again would not feel nearly as wonderful. Let the dust settle on your newly renovated life.

Oct 14th 2006

If it’s at all possible today, avoid driving or operating any heavy machinery. If this sounds like a prescription label to you, then just think of it as a prescription for your day. The big problem will be your energy—it will not be dependable. Expect mood swings that send you off in unexpected directions. Your mind will wander with little (if any) provocation. Recent revelations on your mind may keep you from fully focusing on the tasks that demand your attention.
