I hate early mornings. Always have, always will. But I woke up early this morning, after too little sleep, and so my body still doesn't feel like it's properly awake yet. Even after a cup of tea I still feel fuzzy all throughout.
Stress has been throwing my sleep patterns off lately. You guessed it, the stress over the lack of money from my last job. And the lack of money because I still currently have no job, but it's mostly the old-job situation that's messing me up. I've been having a harder time getting to sleep, a harder time staying asleep, and a harder time getting back to sleep if I wake up early.
Which is why I've been awake since shortly before 7 AM today after only about 5 hours of sleep.
I suppose some good has come of it, though. Getting an early start to the day has so far resulted in me burning a few discs of data off my laptop hard drive, as well as knitting more on a shawl for a friend. And if I get too tired, I can always nap later. R didn't get much more sleep than I did, so maybe we'll both have a lie down when he comes in from work.
Tomorrow we're probably heading over to L's for a little while to have a smoothie (L makes really good smoothies), though I doubt we'll stay for long. We both have writing to get done, and since R's also been under a fair bit of stress lately (his employers are still messing his schedule around), he'd like a day of just staying inside and resting. Can't say I blame him. I'd want the same if I had such ignorant bosses.
My leg is still bothering me. I think I'll try heating up a Magic Bag and seeing if that will help soothe it some. I don't like having to take painkillers unless I really have to, and if simple warmth will take care of the problem, that would make me very happy indeed.
