The Frustrations of Today

First frustration- We've been without interweb since last night. This wouldn't bother a normal person. But Hubby and I are so NOT normal. Besides the obvious, we are geeks. Gaming, insterweb addicted, and sometimes blogging geeks. But the excuse reason we gave when Hubby called in, was that he has to have it for his job. (Truly he does, so it wasn't a lie. Just a convenient excuse.) Being without the web meant I couldn't do any of the stuff for school that I needed to. It meant I couldn't talk to my sister, who could really use a good sis right now. I couldn't talk to Brittany or Crystal, who are my main (internet) support systems. I couldn't check any blogs. I couldn't blog myself. I couldn't do any transcripting. I couldn't add more pics to my online album. I couldn't search YouTube for the videos I wanted to see. Hubby couldn't do FFXI CoP 8-3. He couldn't get on Vent/ Skype. Couldn't check our bank account. And since we lost our net in the middle of BLM AF, Selo didn't get his and I died as soon as we logged back in. And I deleveled. Grrr.
Second frustration- A drama queen I have attempted to purge from my life is still causing drama. I read a post on a blog that I follow (of a friend) which was quite pointed. I have emailed this friend to inquire about it, and I am hoping to hear back soon. I'm not ready to go into detail yet, because it might settle itself (I hope!), but I am tired of it. Misery loves company, and this chick is obviously miserable.
Third frustrattion- I'm frustrated with the lack of schedule or routine in my life right now. Ever since we moved in here, we have lived in the moment. I am a woman that needs routine. I need familiarity and commitment. So, Hubby and I are going to start living with an alarm clock and a bed time. Instead of trying to do ALL the housework every day, I will do certain things each day (ie laundry- Tuesday, shopping- Thursday). The more days that pass like this, the worse I get. We are both ready for a change.
Fourth frustration- I want to digiscrap! Unfortunately, I haven't had any time for this since I started my new job. I thought that I would have plenty of time, so I joined a bunch of free scrapping sites and got involved with some awesome digiscrappers. I now have a desktop full of beautiful stuff, some great new friends, and one single digiscrap page done. I love the page I made, and I can't wait to do more. But I am so overwhelmed with it now, I don't even want to think about it.
Fifth frustration- I want sleep. I go to bed every night, and I toss and turn all night. And when I finally do sleep, my dreams wake me up. They are crazy and weird. I *think* what is happening is I get too hot while asleep. See, Hubby and I sleep very close. Intertwined you could say. And his body temp rises when he sleeps. Now, I have nightmares when I sleep too warmly. So I think I am getting too hot, having nightmares, and scrambling around in bed all night. I wake up tired and irritable and unrested. Definitely unhelpful.

Okay now that I have vented my frustrations, I'm going to go curl up with a book. Hopefully, I will be able to sleep tonight. And tomorrow will be a better day.
*sings* The sun will come out, tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow . . .
