Give me coffee and no one gets hurt

Man, I’m tired. 

I don’t know what the deal is, but I have just been exhausted all week.  Maybe it is some leftover from the cold that totally kicked my ass last week.  I don’t know.  All I do know is that I have literally struggled to keep my eyes open every waking moment this week.

For the past few months, my alarm has gone off around 6.  I jump right out of bed and get in the shower.  I’m dressed and ready to walk out the door by 6:45.  I would sit down at the computer and do a little writing and then finally head out around 7:15 or 7:30 arriving at work 15 minutes later.  That gave me a little bit of time to sit in the office alone when it was nice and quiet and get caught up on some work.

This week, damn.  The alarm goes off and gets a sound beating atop the snooze button.  I finally ooze out of bed around 7, belly-flop into the shower and just stand under the water until 7:30 and the engage in the mad dash through morning traffic to get here by 8.  I then spend the rest of the day alternating between doing my job and sucking down caffeine in a worthless attempt to quit nodding off.

Oh well.  The weekend is nearly here.

Not that ANY of this gave me any additional luck in harvesting some more ebon clusters last night.  Nope.  Not a one.  I’m still sitting on the 2 I have in the bank and hoping for 7 more before I need them, but time is running out.

In other randomness, one of my co-workers is currently being visited by his parents… and his mother can freaking COOK.  She sends him to work every day with leftovers and I send him home every night with requests to be adopted.
