Another Gorgeous Sunny Day -- And I'm Awake!

Last night was just like the night before. I kept waking up and not falling back to sleep right away, so I ended up taking antihistamines at 1:30 a.m. I don't know what the problem is. I don't feel depressed, necessarily, but maybe the cloudy weather had something to do with it. Yesterday, it was sunny, and today is mostly sunny (so far), so maybe tonight will be better...? One can only hope...and pray.

But I'm finally getting over the effects of the antihistamines, and it seems I might actually have a good day today. :)

Chelsey's dad and his girlfriend stayed at a hotel in town and will be coming out again at some point today.

It's a good thing I don't have any feedback to write. Of course, I was hoping to get some writing done, but I may not be able to now. :( I think I need to make a sign for my door that says "Writer At Work - Do Not Disturb," with the hours I'll be working, on one side, and "Writer At Play - You May Enter" on the other. But first, I need to come up with some set hours to work on feedback and my writing. Likely, I will start the day with posting the dailies and all, then reserve the rest of the morning for feedback and my writing. In the afternoon, I can post my regular blog entry, then catch up online. Maybe I can even work in an hour each day for drawing. I just need to make it clear that there are certain times of the day when I'm at work. Just because I'm home and not making much, if any, money, it doesn't mean that I'm not taking my writing seriously...or that I don't consider it real work.

Anyway, I downloaded a couple more Atif Aslam videos yesterday. He did some recording sessions at Coke Studios, and they filmed the whole thing. I'm slowly downloading the YouTube videos of that. They're awesome! I even played some of them for Jeff (I have four of them, so far).

And I downloaded a two-part press conference (view part one here, view part two here) with Vivek Oberoi. He's promoting his movie, Prince- It's Showtime. I wouldn't have known anything about it if I hadn't logged into TweetDeck. I follow him on Twitter. :)

Eric and Chelsey went to Walmart to do their grocery shopping last night. Eric sent me two IMs with photos of flip flops and wedge sandals, asking me if I liked either of them. I told him I did and told him what colors. They were all marked down to $.50! :D They'll be perfect in summer to wear around the house. :)

Jeff and I watched half of Supernatural last night. As usual, it was very weird, but very entertaining. ;) And then we watched about half of America's Dumbest Partiers. It's so stoopid what people will do sometimes (like taping beer cans together and rushing at each other as if they're jousting). Sad, but at the same time, hilarious! :P

And on that note, I'd better get moving. I need to take care of Jeff's laundry, finish washing the breakfast dishes, then I want to color my hair and take a bath if I have time. I'll catch up online later, if I can. I'm going to do my best. And I plan to spend at least a little time writing, too.

Have an awesome day! :D

I'm Soooooo Sleepy...Zzzzzzz...

Well, I've posted two feedbacks, then wrote another, which is awaiting approval. In spite of being a bit tired this morning, I'm on a roll. :)

The sun is out today, too, and it's supposed to get up around 63°! :D

I never did any writing yesterday (besides the feedback) and don't think I'll do any today, either. I've been kind of tired lately. I keep waking up during the night. Last night was the worst so far. :( This morning, I decided to cut out most of the caffeine. I only had about a third of a cup of lite coffee. I'm hoping I'll sleep a lot better tonight. If not, I'll start taking antihistamines again. *sigh*

Eric and Chelsey have been doing a lot of cleaning. Her dad's coming down some time today. Eric's insisting that I go out there and socialize. It's a good thing I've written my feedback, however, if I don't get to take a shower, I won't be going out there. I've told him I need the dryer. If it's not emptied in time for me to finish my first load of laundry and take a shower, I won't go out there looking like something the cat dragged in. ;)

My Atif Aslam CD, Doorie, shipped yesterday. YAY! :D I ordered a couple DVDs from the same company today: Mukhbiir and Jannat. I'm not going on any spending sprees, but I've got a list of movies I want to buy when they're on sale. These two were $5 each, and shipping was $5. Not a bad deal, really. :) The next two I'd like to get are Shootout At Lokhandwala and Kurbaan.

Guess I'll go see if the dryer's free yet. When it is, I'll dry my first load, then I may start watching my recently downloaded Atif Aslam videos, for lack of better things to do with my time when I'm this sleepy. I don't want to take a nap.

Have a good one!
