Madeline Kahn had it right

Lili von Schtupp - "I'm Tired"

So far this week, I've forgotten my charger at Dave's. Then, I forgot my keys in my bike and killed my battery. Twice. I forgot to get gas in the bike and ran out. Then I forgot to get my keys out of The Boy's backpack and had to go hunt him down to get them. Then I forgot my work keys at the house this morning. I'm just wondering, at this point, what I have forgotten that hasn't made itself apparent yet.

This isn't even funny anymore. I took a stress questionnaire yesterday and it said:

"While answering "Yes" to any of these question would indicate that there is probably a stress imbalance in your body, a friendlier way to score it would be:

0-8 = low level of stress.

9-13 = moderate stress level that you should seek treatment for.

14 and above = you need immediate evaluation and treatment for stress hormone imbalances before something really bad happens to you, if it already hasn’t."

My score? 34 Now, lots of my stress is good stuff--new relationship, new friendships, moving to my own place, school--but some of it is not--divorce, job, moving, school, lack of sleep.

Basically, I need to get more sleep, eat better, handle my shit and get on top of things again and just all around do a better job of taking care of myself.

It's hard, though. Dave is awesome and when we get the chance to be together, I don't want to waste a second of it sleeping. And when we're not together, the phone is all we have and so I don't want to hang up and we end up talking for hours and hours.

In other words, I'm not getting any sleep. And so, we end this where it began.

I'm tired. LOL
