My three-year-old is still waking me up between 5:30 and 6:00 every day. And I have to be at work by 7:45 with three children dressed and breakfasted. So I, too, am a morning person by necessity.

But still, I can't do chores before 8 a.m. on a weekend.

I woke naturally at 5 and couldn't get back to sleep. I'm not actually a morning person by preference, just genetic destiny.

I swear when I was on vacation, I slept 11 to 7ish most days, so why am I so tired back at work?? Is it really the extra few minutes between when my alarm goes off at 7 and whenever I would have woken up naturally that make such a difference??

Annoying.

I went to bed at 1, woke up at 4, back asleep at 5, and awake at 9:30ish. So a decent amount of sleep, yet not particularly restful.

For some reason unknown to me I need to explain how property tax is paid to my ex-landlady, who owes me money but cannot understand how the municipality handles it (long story short, she needs to pay me directly as I lived in one of her apartments for less than a year so she was listed as the person who lived there. The municipality cannot return the difference between the property tax I paid in full in 2019 and the months I actually lived there).

I cannot get her to understand this for several weeks now. She keeps thinking that the municipality will return my money if she'll just send an email (and she already sent two emails). It won't. She needs to schedule an appointment. Please schedule an appointment, lady. I need that money back, and it's been four months since I left.

I finally, FINALLY managed to get everything verified to pay my Bank of America credit cards online from my own checking account, after trying since last week. I don't know whether to be irritated that it was so much of an ordeal, or worried that it wasn't for my other credit cards, insurance, and utilities. All the others basically went "You want to pay us money? Just enter the bank info and click Send!"

I got called at 4:30 this morning because someone called out sick at the bakery. I ... win? ::sobs::

I've become a morning person and I don't want to be.

Timelies all!

I keep waking up around 5:30 when our alarm goes off at 6:30. I go back to sleep, but it's not very restful.

I have a weird 10- 2, 5-7 thing going. Which bit me in the ass today because I actually had an 8 am meeting and my commute is 30 minutes by Uber and and hour to two hours by bus.

And I overslept today.

Luckily I zoomed in the Uber!

I am back on this refrigerator thing. I am torn about buying a fridge that is cute, and buying something to set the counter level apartment fridge on, so I don't have to bend so far to get to it. Or maybe a combo. I still can't quite figure it out how to get the fridge upstairs, and I don't need a bigger fridge, but the bending is killing me(It is counter height). But the fridges are cute and might make me happy.
