Figured it out!

Why I'm so tired, that is. I have been taking Zyrtec (well, the Costco version of it) and it's making me so tired that after sleeping 12 hours I took a 2 hour afternoon nap and would have continued sleeping if I hadn't needed to go to work! It's so strange because I've never had that reaction to the medicine before. Anyway, today I am drug free and feeling more alert and awake.

I even put together some boxes this morning and planned a weekend of packing for the big move. Hehe. This move will be a piece of cake compared to our last 2 moves. Rather than drive 2500 miles we only need to go about .25 miles! We don't even need to rent a truck. I'm going to pick up some furniture dolly's on Sunday and that should get us through.

Today is my first payday and the first time I've been paid hourly in about 6 years. I'm excited to see the check and spend it on a new couch! Working hourly really makes me want to work all the time. I have much more motivation. Maybe I should pay myself per word to work on my dissertation, do you think that would improve my speed?

Twelve hours and still exhausted!

I went to bed at 8:30pm last night. That is way earlier than normal but I was sitting in my chair reading blogs and my eyes kept closing. I decided to give up and just see if I could fall asleep. And, I did, pretty quick too. I got up at 8:30 this morning out of guilt that my husband was already awake and getting his day started. I don't know what's wrong with me, maybe it's the extra activity from working or the stress of the dissertation getting to me but it sure felt good to sleep for those extra four hours!

Today's agenda includes chapter 3 and 4 revisions. After my shower I am off to the library to pick up some books and then on to Starbucks for the afternoon until work at 4:30.
