No Rest for the Weary

I'm tired but not sleepy. I haven't had enough sleep, but my body is used to waking up, so I'm up. Sometimes I wish I had normal problems like normal people, but that doesn't happen. Lately I've been looking at my schedule every ten minutes to try to figure out if I can fit everything in. It all starts with one thing, and the next thing I know, I'm booked so solid I have to schedule my bathroom breaks. And because it's school, it will only get worse later. September and October will be disgustingly busy. I'll need at least a week grace period to return phone calls.

Seriously, I'm not complaining. It's definitely a big change from what I've been doing all summer, so it will take some getting used to. It's actually a windfall of good things that are keeping me busy, from a new job to pay the bills, a new job to have fun, classes to get dirty and work hard and do fun stuff, and actually doing pretty much what I want to do instead of what someone else wants me to do. Which is what really makes me happy. I get stubborn about other people's tasks.

In other news, my house looks like a war zone because of the ongoing renovation. I will never understand why one would spend half a million dollars on a house, and then immediately go about "fixing it up". Granted, I'm not complaining about having a nicer house to live in when I don't have to pay for it, but at the moment, my bedroom is the only real safe place to be. Most of the house has been reduced to a mere slab. It sure will look pretty later, though.
