I knew this was going to happen sooner rather than later.
It took 23 days, which is better than I had anticipated.
I'm going stir crazy.
Part of it is lack of sleep, or rather, good sleep. I am incredibly thankful to Douglass Shaw for letting me rent his place while I was searching for a permanent residence, but I desperately need to get to closing and move into my condo. I need a real bed. I am currently sleeping on a single mattress that shifts over the course of the night as I twist and turn looking for some position that approximates comfortable.
After watching the Cards-Brewers game Monday night, I tried to get into bed and fell out because the damn thing is so narrow. I ended up just sleeping on the floor.
OK, fine. This probably had more to do with the beer consumption than the size of the mattress, but I am fairly certain I would have maintained my balance on a Queen.
I wake up exhausted and go through the day exhausted. I exhibit zero productivity, but fake it at the office until 5 or 6. I grudgingly make dinner and pass out around 8. Of course, I don't make it through till morning and I'm up again at 12. You obviously know what happens from here, waking up and falling asleep in 15 minute intervals until morning rolls back around. Lather, rinse, repeat.
But lack of sleep is only part of it. There is nothing to do but wake up and go to the office. That is getting depressing. I am actually looking forward to teaching just to do something different. And that my friends, is clearly the crazy talking.
I need to find something to do. Some activity, ideally involving other people. I feel like I've put myself in a holding pattern until I move into my own place since I have a trip to McAllen, then Madison and then New York coming up: 16 if the next 33 days aren't in BCS (Bryan-College Station). But I need to act. Sooner rather than later.
