oyceterWah, so tired lately. Must try and get more sleep in the next few weeks, because it's getting to the point where I can't quite get up for work, which is not good. Sigh. I read this article somewhere about how early birds and night owls and whatnot might be slightly genetic, which I guess makes sense. I've always been someone who goes to sleep late and gets up late, which drives my mother crazy.
I'm just sort of babbling about random things right now.
I started a budget for myself, because it's something I have to watch out for more now that the boy is not here. It used to be that with our combined salaries, we would do ok, but now he's gone and things are feeling a bit tighter. Sigh. So far I'm sticking to it, which is good... But it does mean less eating out and less fun stuff, and I really must stop randomly buying books. Even though I just saw about six more knitting books that I want from Amazon, sigh sigh. But I must remember that I have about a billion unread books in the house alone, and then there are all of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fannishly's books, and there's the public library.
I also feel a bit odd because I'm not reading very much this year -- I was in January, but in February came the break up and stress and therapy and everything, and I feel like I've just never quite caught my breath yet. It's strange because it's already April, and I still feel so off kilter. Now thatfannishly has finally moved in (joy!), maybe things will start settling down a little bit more and I'll get myself back into a routine again. Another part of it is probably also knitting. I've finished the back and left front panel of the sweater jacket I'm making, and while it's a bit uneven, I figure it's my first sweater, so it can be. Plus, I can give it to my mom and she will be forced to wear it. Or at least she'll have to pretend it's wonderful ;). So knitting is quite fun, and I'm in not one, but two knitting circles! I found people at work who do it too, haha!
I also want to start watching anime again, especially afteryhlee so evilly got me some Fullmetal Alchemist episodes! Plus, there's Karekano, which is still sitting around, and just.. not enough time! I like the feeling of busy-ness though. I feel like I'm enjoying myself and I want to do more, and I have all this energy again. Meds are of the good. Except.. the reading has fallen off a bit, and I wish it hadn't. Another part may be because I've been talking to friends and the like on the phone at night more as well, and since I usually read before I go to bed, this cuts into my reading time. And by the time I get off, I'm so tired or it's so late that I really have to go to sleep because otherwise, I'm pretty much a zombie at work.
More dentistry coming up as well, at which I boo and hiss.
And daylight savings is soon! More daylight! More sunshine! The air smells like summer and it's beautiful again and oh, I am so, so, incredibly happy. There are people sitting outside at restaurants and people on the streets at night, and the gelato store is getting more crowded. I adore summer to my very bones, and oh, I'm so looking forward to it.
