Excessive

I'm not tired. I just worked for 11 hours after only getting five or six hours of sleep, and I just got home, and I'm not tired. I mean, my body is kinda sore, but not more than normal really, and mostly due to unrelated things. Like my left wrist is getting worse and worse, it hurts to even type, to lift or move it, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. On top of that, something about the coat or apron at work was rubbing against my neck the wrong way and it became alarmingly irritated and painful, making my neck turn red and distract the shit out of me. So those things, plus just my feet, legs and shoulders being sore and tired, lead me to feel... ready to sit, but not tired.

I just took a sleeping pill, and there are some positives and negatives to that choice, some of which include you know... being able to reliably fall asleep within an hour or two, which is good, but the downside is that waking up will be difficult and feeling groggy is a definite. But it was either take the pill and feel really groggy in the morning, or not take the pill, have trouble falling asleep, and be tired in the morning, so either way I'll be tired, at least this way I'll not just lay in bed full of endless thoughts.

Work today was tiring, mainly because the large event that we were mainly focused on didn't even start until after our supposed end-times, which was 8pm. The Gala started at 8:30pm, and obviously went for awhile, which would be why I'm home so late. I work from Noon until 11pm, and we had a plated dinner for 28 people, which was choice of salmon, beef or chicken, and Chef stayed and helped us get that out, and then afterward we had the gala, so the day was spent getting all that ready, and all the stuff that goes along with it. Tomorrow is brunch, and I'm opening (what else is new) and there isn't any prep done for it, but that should be okay, as it's always okay, and I always get it out on time.

I should be going to sleep soon, you know, because of the having to wake up in less than six hours already (and I haven't even got in my pijamas yet!) but I'm going to watch SNL I think, and then go to sleep.

Tomorrow... brunch, some reception fare, and then I get to go home and nap or relax... or neither, who knows, time will tell. I never know what the next day will bring... lately it's been good but that doesn't last.
