Slight Insomnia

It’s only 11 p.m., so I guess this doesn’t really count as insomnia… yet… I’m just not tired.  I have a lot on my mind (and my right knee hurts… damn old age) and fortunately there’s nothing really to worry about.  In addition to my extension in Richmond, we’ve also changed up some of the senior staff in our Richmond region.  All for the good and it requires everyone to analyze where they fit into the equation.  That’s actually how I spent most of the day today.  In meetings deciding where everyone could best fit and benefit each other.  I got clarification on who my boss is (my first boss resigned earlier this year and I’ve been an orphan ever since) and I’m happy with the new person.  I’m excited because these changes give me a chance to re-evaluate my priorities and to re-invigorate my vision and my team.

Sooo… Even though it’s early, I don’t think I’m going to be able to go to sleep tonight.  Well, not without help.  That brings a warning.  Never take an Ambien and then start to write (or blog).  Don’t worry, I haven’t done that tonight, but I have previously done that the next day haven’t remembered what I wrote about.  That’s not a big deal when it comes to blogging because I can change it.  It becomes a problem when you start to write cards to people and forget what you wrote.  One time I sent Hollie a card and she called me when she got it to ask if I was drinking when I wrote it.  I hadn’t been, so then she asked if I had been driving.  At that point I can only assume that it was sloppily written and possibly illegible.  She knows me well enough to appreciate the card regardless.

It sometimes helps to get some things off your mind before you go to bed.  Writing this will definitely help.  I need a to-do list next.  On the top of that list is go to the Post Office.  Right below that is to go to the dry cleaner.  Add to that my work to-do list and I think I’ve already filled up most of tomorrow.  Good.  Now my new boss will see me working really hard.
