That is the first thought that comes to my mind, not long after I just woke up. I am so tired, and I could absolutely go back to bed and sleep for a few more hours. After thinking about it, perhaps its a mixture of tired and stressed. My housemate is in Ohio until tomorrow, where he's been since Tuesday morning. Its funny, you never realize how much someone does until they aren't there to do it, heh. I've been covering both of our routes - now normally, I drive and throw, and he sits in the back seat and rolls. He also gets out and does porches, and does the assisted living homes that we have on both routes. I've been doing the whole she-bang since Tuesday night. The first night was okay. Last night I wanted to pull the car off to the side of the road and cry. My back and shoulders hurt, my ankles hurt, and I am tired of inky fingers! On top of that, I have been trying to get boxes unpacked at the house. I got most of the ones in the dining room, which were mostly books, that went onto the new bookcase that we bought a few weeks ago. Heavy!!
Its been so quiet, too. I think both of the dogs think that I am secretly taking people out of the house and getting rid of them. Achilles keeps laying by the door, and Loki keeps looking out the window - both activities seem to start about 10pm, the usual time that he would come home from work at night.
I did actually sleep really well last night. So, I'm not sure why I am so tired! I've been getting up every day around 5pm, trying to establish a regular "getting up time". I think its helping, but I'm not totally sure yet. And, I had a pot of beans and ham simmering all day for dinner, while I slept. They are lovely, let me add.
EXILE has been amazing. All the way from scheduling right down to the events - amazing. Our traffic is excellent - we're up there close with groups double and triple our size. Our DJ's are ranking on the SHX Top 40 chart - let me add in, WITHOUT the use of alts to bump the scores higher. Actual av votes. Not cheating, like some clubs who shall not be named here, do.
On that note, let me expound ... As a DJ myself, I would feel very let down to know that I only hit the charts because someone had 6 alts in the club, each of them voting to bump my score higher. I feel much more excited, even when I don't hit the chart, just to know that the people are enjoying my music. For me, its not some competition. Its all about enjoyment. If I hit, then I hit. If I don't, then I don't - as long as the music is enjoyed, thats all I care about. But, what does it say, when you have 10 people at your event, and 6 of those people are alts of one person, who is also there? The sad thing is, the majority of the staff at said club, don't even realize that all of those people are alts, because the person in question gives each of them their own personality. What a breach of trust, in my opinion, especially to the persons who call them friend and family.
Anyway, I'll climb down from my soapbox now, and get back to concentrating on EXILE - because, in the long and short of it all - that's what matters most. :)
I've been working on making posters for some of the different static events that we have. I think the one for Naked Furrsday came out really cute - I'll share that, right now! Jynxx shared this poster making program with me, and I am absolutely loving it. There are more in the making, rest assured. I've got one done already for Naked Saturday, and am working on the rest of them as well. If you haven't made it down to EXILE to check out our Naked Furrsday event, then you should totally go and do so! DJ Wingtips is an amazing DJ, and his host Florisa is very high energy!! And, Kitten is an amazing dancer, who will leave you needing a fan, or maybe some air conditioning, even in the dead of winter!! Put them all together, and its an event that you definitely don't want to be missing. Not to mention, they have been known to throw in a contest prize here and there - today was a surprise gift from Lover's Playground. LP makes some pretty damn amazing stuff. I have a bed or two from there, and I love them.
Speaking of SL, there's a few things I need to do in there. Gothicatz has a mesh sale going on, and I absolutely have to hit that before it ends. I used to say that I didn't think I would like mesh, but it turns out that I really love it. It was the same with voice in SL, many years ago. People said that it would be the end of SL, it would cause too much lag, etc etc etc. Now, I can't imagine SL without voice being a part of it. I also need to get my set ready for my 80's Flashback Party that happens Friday at 6pm. You should be there! I'd really love to see you.
I think that's about it for today. My brain isn't functioning at full capacity. Maybe I need some coffee to help the process along. Heh. Like, a whole pot of the stuff. That might do the trick.
Love and Peace,
~R
