Why naps are a bad idea...


So.... I really like sleep... like a lot... it's my second favorite thing to do. And I have been in the habit of taking naps after work. But yesterday I couldn't take a nap after work because I had Good News Club... then after GNC it was dinner time, so I went and ate dinner.

Then after dinner, I decided to go to my room and catch up on my bible reading, (cause I was a few days behind). I got one full day done, and fell asleep. I then woke up at 7:30... did some more bible reading... fell asleep... woke up at 10:30... finished my bible reading... got ready for bed... got into bed... AND WAS WIDE AWAKE!!! So I lay in bed until 1... and then I think I fell asleep... for two hours... before a dream woke me up... then I went back to sleep for two hours... before a dream woke me up... before I went back to sleep for two hours... and then had to get up for work.

 I am also no longer drinking coffee... so I spent the morning in a daze. Tripped over my feet twice (probably not a good day to wear heels, but oh well). I sort of resurfaced for lunch... but then an hour later was back to being exhausted. Come to think of it... I pretty much have been half asleep the whole day. SO... no more naps!!! I just put up with being tired all day so that I can actually SLEEP tonight... so that I can actually be semi-awake tomorrow.

Support Raising... and why it makes my bum hurt


Chances are that if people receive a piece of mail with a corporate return address stamped on the envelope, they throw it out. They don't know what it is, and they don't want to know. This makes it very hard for me to mail out my newsletters and support raising stuff with CEF(C)  envelopes, because I risk people throwing them out without ever reading them. So I went and bought my own business envelopes and have been hand addressing them all... and that turns out to be a lot of envelopes.  I also need to get my newsletters out as soon as possible, because it's wave one of support raising... so I took one day and did it all hardcore so that I could mail them all out on monday. That means that I spent a ton of time sitting down yesterday, and as a result sitting down today is not very easy. I keep wanting to get up and do something because my bum keeps complaining about how sore it is. But hand addressed envelopes do better, end of story. And the fundraising isn't over yet, so it'll just have to put up with more sitting. Maybe this beautiful spring like weather will last and I'll be able to go outside more often. That would be beyond awesome, but who knows. I guess we'll find out.
