Well, I'm awake, at least.

Coming home from work tonight, I immediately curled up on the couch with Evan and proceeded to fall asleep.  I woke up a couple of hours later and fell asleep again about ten minutes thereafter.  And then woke up at around 10:30.  I tried to go to bed but ended up watching TV with Evan in there and decided I was wide awake.  After puttering around the internet and finding nothing too absorbing, I settled onto the couch with my book.  Evan went to bed, and after I finished it (12:30?) I decided to try sleeping myself.  Couch + TV + fuzzy Kimiko blanket usually = instant-sleep mode.  Not tonight, however, so I decided to try to sleep in the bedroom and listen to The Dark Tower II: Drawing of the Three (picked it up for seven bucks on sale at work on super-discount day) on my iPod.  Of course, I got caught up in the story and was still awake by the time that I got to the end of the last track that I had imported.  Still wide awake.

So I got up and came out here and started importing the next CD, which should be finishing shortly.  I hope that by the time I would reach the end of listening to it, I will be well asleep.  For now I have nothing else to do so I figured a short entry might be in order, at least maybe to get myself to stop mentally rambling long enough to get to sleep.

We're having some nasty weather tonight, but we shouldn't have to go out tomorrow for any reason, so it should be all right out there again by the time Evan heads to work on Monday.  I'm off until Tuesday, which is yay, though not really; I'm only getting three days this coming week.  With luck the budget will go up for the week after that, but I can't say that I'm not in the process of looking for something else.  I can't really afford to stay there if it's going to continue like this until the second quarter--Evan's loans are coming in and I think mine are too.  And we were already kind of just skittering by.  Add the fact that he's really desperate to get out of where he's working right now (not that I blame him--it kind of sucks, and by kind of I mean a lot), and you get a bit of a sticky situation.  With any luck we'll improve on all that as soon as possible.

I'm kind of hungry but I really don't want to grab anything to eat this late at night.  Though the last of the leftovers I brought home from dinner with one of my co-workers is still incredibly tasty-smelling.  Yay cheesefries from Outback--I think I probably brought half my plate's worth home with me, though Evan took care of most of it.

With any luck I'll manage to get an actual interesting entry up here soon; I signed up for an interesting little project on a website I frequent and I'm hoping to at least put on a good show, so to speak.  It's not likely, I suppose, that too many folks would be interested in my ramblings, but a girl can dream, right?

So more bookwenchery from me in the next couple days, given that I've already devoured a whole new book since this morning.  But not now; the Gunslinger calls.
