Update

Well I don't have fantastic news but I have good news. I have been working temporarily for the last month. The hours are crazy: midnight to 8:30ish AM. But they're paying me pretty well and I get close to 40 hours every week so I can continue to pay my bills for another month or so. I'm not really sure how long it will go on but as long as they allow me to, I will continue to show up.

It's hard to sleep during the day when it's bright outside so I always hope for rain and the weather has been somewhat decent in cooperating with that. I had the day off today so I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and bought an eye mask so hopefully that helps. My days off really mess me up as well which is why it's almost 1:00 in the afternoon and I'm still awake. It's starting to get dark outside again so maybe I'll be able to fall asleep soon.

As I was driving around today, it was quite warm outside and it made me think of home. Not really sure why, but it did. I haven't been home since March and I'm averaging a trip home every other month so it's probably time for another one. My job may or may not end in the next week or two and if it does then I'll probably take a road trip home. But well rested this time since the last time I drove home alone I fell asleep in Wyoming... Thank goodness for the little bumps (that's the technical term) on the side of the road to let you know when you've gone out of the lane! Who knows what would have happened without them! Another fine Public Health intervention!
