Braiiiins

I’ve had two non-employees bring me coffee today.
Where the hell were they EARLY this morning?
Perhaps if I had been properly caffeinated, I wouldn’t have brain damage right now.

You think I kid. I can tell. As always, my new phone confuses me with the strange noises it makes... in my sleep deprived haze, I kept thinking the alarm was someone *calling* me. My mad coordination in the morning is demonstrated perfectly when in trying to answer the alarmcall- I bashed myself in the forehead. Which woke me up anyways- so HEY :). Unfortunately for me it was dark and I had been tossing- turned about so when I got up it was the wrong side of the bed and I crashed full stumble into the cement wall. I manage to make it to the elevator alive- even remembered the phone which has become the bane of my morning existence. As the doors are closing, I drop it and quickly swoop down to retrieve it. Not as quick as the elevator door, however. WHOMP. Reverberations are felt all down my legs all the way to the hotel. So on top of the pillow-creased face and slightly crooked ponytail, I now have a lump the size of New Jersey above my eyebrow. So yeah, I’ll take your pity coffee;)

At least everyone’s been super friendly today- seriously. I’ve lost track of how many people came over to my desk to sit and chat about the city in a most conscientiously polite manner. Victor the pervert sits down and casually remarks ‘Hot pink, nice.’ If it was anyone but Victor I would be concerned as to how they knew what color underthings I was wearing. It takes me a minute to understand his spanglish, being all garbled with laughter as it is. Comprehension dawns when I glance down and notice I only buttoned half my shirt... and I did it wrong. Well I guess that explains that.

See- I can’t sleep these days. It is becoming a problem. I’ve tried 10 pillows, I’ve tried throwing them all on the floor. I’ve tried windows open, I’ve tried A/C on. I’ve wore myself out before hand running around my neighborhood. Hot baths, cocktails, different positions, clothing options, etc. Still- there’s me on OKC at 4am.

I don’t know how much longer this can go on. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions? Anyone? Anything??
