Feeling a little bit bored this morning, so I decided to participate in the Friday 5.
- How many hours’ sleep do you need in order to be at your best, and what’s the minimum you can get on a regular basis and still be functional?
To be at my best, I need anywhere from ten to fourteen hours consistently. However, I can survive on a minimum of six hours a night. Any less than that, and the claws come out. - What’s your favorite sleeping position?
I sleep on my stomach, primarily. On my stomach, cuddling my large brown and crimson teddy bear, with the blanket wrapped around us both like a cocoon. - What was the cause of your most recent difficulty sleeping?
The sunlight coming in through the window. I really, really need to invest in some blackout curtains. - When you can’t seem to drift off to sleep right away, what are some things you do to bring about sleep?
I usually put a movie on or have something filling to eat, like oatmeal with bananas and flax. - When did you last doze off at an inappropriate time or in an inappropriate place?
I fell asleep in the shower last night.
Work has been extremely annoying this past week. My boss is transferring to day shift at the end of the month, and since he announced it, he’s just been a royal dickhead. Last week, I had a little bit of an accident where some of the shelves in the shelving bay came out of their racks and smashed me in the side of the head. I had a bit of a concussion, but I decided to keep working and take it a bit easy instead of missing my whole shift to wait in the emergency room. I told him about it, and all he said to me was: “Well, if it made a hole in your head, you could put a ring through that one too.” Which… normally wouldn’t bother me, because I get those comments all of the time, but it was just the way he said it. Like he was sneering at me, and it was completely out of character. But it’s been like that all week, and it’s getting old. And of course, the people I work with aren’t that much better. I just… am getting so frustrated with the attitude that goes on, because it’s unnecessary and it hinders more than it helps. I wish I knew why everyone was in a crabby mood, so I could tell them to grow the fuck up already and get over it.
I’ve got so much to do in the next few weeks. I have to get my bedroom clean so I can move my furniture around… Mum is giving me and David a bed frame, so I have to make sure there’s room to set it up and position it so I won’t be kept awake by the sun all night. I’m also moving my living room around and getting the hallway ready for painting. I’m going to hopefully end up painting my entire house this year, but I want to start in the hallway because it’s the worst in the house. Lots of shopping to do on pay day, as well. I’m thinking about getting my hair trimmed up and having either some pink streaks put in, or a perm done. Haven’t decided yet. My hair is getting to the phase where I need to do something with it or I will go mad and shave it all off. I’m not used to having long(ish) hair, and I don’t think I will ever be.
I also want to re-do this domain. I know that I say that all the time, but I’m actually making some steady progress. Should be good if it all works out.
