Sleep Schedule

I am actively working on regulating my sleep. It has been a little over a week and I feel so much better than I did working the two shifts. I no longer feel like I am going to lose it at any moment and I don't feel so lost. I haven't been getting up and going to bed at a set time, but instead have been trying to keep it approximate. It has worked thus far. I wanted to get myself in an approximate area instead of making myself do it out of the blue because that has never worked for me. Easing into it has been better.

I feel as if my week has been more productive since I started getting up earlier. I haven't accomplished a great great deal, but definitely more than I do while staying up all hours of the night.

I bought a new car, which has helped the sleeping situation immensely. I now can leave whenever and don't stay in bed because "I can't leave anyway." It's a 2010 Scion xB in teal. So pretty and really the perfect car for me. I am already more comfortable in it than I was in my truck. I was upset that I'd get pulled into payments again since I just paid my truck off in January, but knowing I have a reliable car is worth every penny. And my payments are not bad, so I really am very happy with it.

Dawn and I did our taxes last week. We are both getting back a good amount. Mine will be enough to get my small credit card paid off. I am excited for that. Then I will only have four regular bills to focus on: two student loans, the car, and the hospital bill. I will be focusing on paying off the hospital bill after the credit card. It really is exciting to see an end to all my "bad" debt. And I will not miss the credit cards at all, since it''s been over a year and a half, maybe two?, years since I have even used them.

I am also getting more active in trying to move into the little house. I am looking forward to being away from the street. The three of us dropped off the boxes of books my mom was getting rid of from the bedroom in there, so the next goal is to clear the furniture out of the bedroom and get it ready to paint. One of my co-workers is adamant about helping me. I know it'll take a lot of man power, but I but I would rather do the painting myself. I don't want to impose. Now, she did offer to help with blinds, so I think I will have to take her up on that. I want to focus on one room at a time and I am going to start with the bedroom to get myself out there.

Just getting my essentials and my bed out there will give me a couple walls to get the shelves out there that I no longer want out there. I want to check into getting shelves put in the living room where I want my little library nook to be. Well see. Like I said, one thing at a time. And I have to start making a list of it all so I don't leave anything out.
