Panic

Woke up at 5:43 in a state of panic. Phaeton wasnt up in bed. I couldnt find my glasses. Felt totally freaked and scared. Remembered that my glasses were probably downstairs. I had woken up at 1:17am thinking it was later. I tossed on my bathrobe, got my glasses and went downstairs at that time. I read some LJ, Ate some junk, went to the bathroom, and then placed my glasses on the coffee table and sat in a recliner to try and sleep. In alittle bit I moved to lay down on the couch. Had a glass of milk sometime as well. At about 2:20am I headed back upstairs to try and sleep again. That brings me back to 5:43am where I woke up again. Felt instantly awake. Thought I was late for work. All sorts of random scary thoughts were in my head. Finally found my glasses and Phaeton downstairs. He decided to sleep on the couch because of his back. I went to the bathroom and heard Jeshua getting up. I had left the light on by accident upstairs when I was searching frantically for my glasses. I headed upstairs after going to the bathroom and Jeshua and I laid down for the small amount of time I still had before the alarm went off.

Now I am up and getting ready for work. Still slightly on edge. Still feeling like something is about to happen. Maybe a shower will help.

Day so far

I worked 1 hour, then got surplus. I came home and drove Jeshua and Caritas to work. Then I headed to Meijers to get a buttload of food. Today was a BIG trip. Spent $108, saved over $98. Go me. :) over $40 was in coupons the rest ad. They were out of 2 things though. We are totally stocked on cereal. I think we have 10-12 unopened boxes now. The freezer is now stocked as well. We will see how long that lasts. I feel like I get so much food, and then in a week or 2 it feels like there is nothing to eat around here. I did get a couple of new things to try.

I got alot of good checkout coupons. $1.75 from friskies off my next shopping order, 80 free Box Tops for Education, a $2 coupon for Fuel, and some other ones I might use.
My lack of good sleep last night is catching up with me. Feeling out of sorts. Mostly just tired though. I hope the 2nd half of my day goes quickly.

Today was a banner day for mail for me. I finally got my new YMCA card, and I got a $% GC from Waldenbooks because I hit enough points. I need to renew my card this month so that will help. :)

I was planning on buying a louisville sunday paper but I dont think it will happen. I might try tomorrow if I get over to the other meijer to try and get some of the food that was not at the one today.

Ok, must get on with my day.

Weird Walk

I got some surplus and decided to change my mind and go for a walk with Caritas. I figure if I am taking so much surplus I need to use the time constructively like exercising or working around the house. I shouldnt just sit on my ass in front of the computer.

On the way back down Broadway I hear this car run over something. Sounded like it was something bad to be in the road. I look over and see what I think is a cell phone. Of course I have to investigate. I watch for traffic, it is N Broadway afterall, and quickly go out to retrieve the object. It is a cell phone. Still on and working properly. I think it has only been run over once or twice. Looks like it wont hold a charge, but can receive calls.

We get home and I start to call the company servicing the phone. I find out the # to the phone and call customer service. The operator informs me that I just need to return the phone to a local store. What joy. As I go upstairs to inform Caritas about the new info it rings. I was so tempted to answer it! I also thought about calling the missed call or one of the phone #s in the called section. Decisions Decisions

In the end I call the # that came up on the call I didnt answer. I probably shouldnt have called from my home phone. What if these are drug dealers or something? Now they know who I am. I did do a reverse directory search on the # that called the phone. Registered to a female. When I called I found out that the phone belongs to the cousin of the person at the # I called. Follow that? :) I told the guy that I would be turning the phone into a store tomorrow.

My good deed for the day.
