OH GOD THIS WEEK. I KNOW IT IS ONLY TUESDAY, BUT THIS WEEK.
It's turning out to be utterly shit. How do I know this? I slept badly on Sunday night. This isn't unusual, I have insomnia to some degree, and it cycles. I'm out of the not-sleeping part of the cycle, which is why it was a surprise and a huge annoyance. ANYWAY. So I spent Monday basically being a zombie. And then something job-centre-related rang, and I have to go to it, or they'll stop my benefit (maybe). I almost told them that was OK, but I didn't because I'm a wuss, and I don't know if it affects other benefits.
Then there was today. OH TUESDAY. I don't love you.
Blah blah blah, digital switchover. We upgraded to Sky+. Or should I say, I did. I pay the TV subscriptions. Booked the appointment on the internet (much to my annoyance; for all I love the internet, I dislike buying things over it (except Amazon. I don't even use ebay now they insist on Paypal or nothing*). Wayhey.
The appointment was for the vague hours of "morning". This could be any time between 8am and 1pm. Since I'm paranoid about people catching me half-asleep (see the tale of when they delivered mum's fancy chair, for example), I got up at half seven. Insomnia and not a whole lot of sleep the previous night (I think I'm becoming nocturnal) made for a very sleepy me (I didn't wake up for a whole three hours. LOVELY).
I sit, and I do some stuff, and I run the battery out on my phone checking twitter and so on because I'm kind of bored.
The Sky man did not turn up until quarter to one. He also told me they'd booked my appointment for 3:30pm, and on top of that, they hadn't configured my viewing card so I could get Sky+ features properly. He did sort it all out, though, and he was very nice, and even a little bit good-looking (and his van had POLAR BEARS on the side!)
But I'm pretty damn pissed off about that. I don't deal well with lost sleep. I'm not functioning very well as I type this; I've been zombified for most of the day. I'm going to go sleep soon. At least I won't have to be up so early tomorrow.
But honestly, THIS WEEK. How has it been so shit already?

On the plus side, going to meet with Hmpf on Thursday! \o/
(So this week will be not all shit. I am dead excited about seeing Hmpf. CAN YOU TELL).

*Please don't tell me how wonderful Paypal is. I don't care. I distrust buying stuff over the internet, and that's the end of that.
Also I don't want insomnia advice, thanks. Mine's atypical so doesn't respond the way it's meant to.
