Even after going to bed at 11:30, sleeping in until 7:45, and still laying in bed as I type, I feel like I could use another three hours of sleep. What's up with that, body?

- I am sitting directly in front of a SCREAMING child on the train. Pretty sure I can feel my tubes tying themselves in knots.
- The one day I buy a coffee, I get a cup with a hole in it and a leaky lid. Winner.

I hate it when I trust the weather people and leave my scooter at home. :/ on the bright side, I got up early, left the house at 8:05, and had a pleasant walk to work. I'm going to enjoy that a lot this winter. :)

My new place, it is so awesome. I can't wait to be totally unpacked so I can take pictures and show you. :)

What I do not like, and likely can't deal with a whole lot longer, is the internet situation. It's $15 a month through the rental company. They've got a decent set up - lots of access points, the signal appears to be really strong (full bars on computer and iPhone) and who can argue with the price? Things take foreverrrrr to load. I don't use the internet for much - checking the emails, writing in the eljays, watching the netflixes...no crazy downloads or whathaveyous. I would like to seriously consider other options at this point. That last entry I wrote - I had to leave it to load while I washed a sink full of dishes, and it only completed posting when I got back after fifteen minutes.

ACK.

I have wanted this bracelet for about ten years. Six months ago, it was $275. A week ago, it was $320. Today, it's $350.

I received a fair bit of Tiffany gift card money for my birthday, and Grandma sent a little birthday check, too. Granted, the birthday haul takes a substantial chunk from the out of pocket expense, but DAMN. If I had jumped on it even over the weekend, I could have saved the $30. Shit, tack sales tax on to that...what the eff is going on with the price of silver?

Strolling down Nicollet Mall in the PERFECT weather over lunch, I walked into Target with a big smile on my face. A little old lady stopped, scoped me out, and said, "Pssht...you're not THAT sexy."

What an interesting thing to say to someone you don't know!

The Pants that are Jess-shapen are tired. Reeeeeally tired. It's pushing 1:30am, and I'm still awake...coughing.

I woke up at 2:30 Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, and was unable to fall back asleep until 8:30am. The fact that I am still awake right now does not bode well...especially since I have to set breakfast out in 5 hours.

I've got an arsenal of cough suppressants next to my bed. Cough syrup, three varieties of cough drops, some herbal throat spray, and I've drank a metric ass-tonne of fluids. If you know me at all, you know that the fluid intake will not slack off any time soon.

In the meantime, I've gotten about six hours of sleep in the past three days, and I'm getting cranky. The upside is that I'm 90% sure I've coughed my way into a six pack of abs. Hellooooo, bikini season!

The thing that pisses me off the most is that the cough is a teeny tiny little throat tickle...and nothing makes it better, but EVERYTHING aggravates it. I'm officially not allowed to smoke cigarettes any more, nor am I allowed to come into intimate contact with a Fireplace Event.

Back in February 2009, I filed an Order of/for Protection (OFP) against my abusive and creepy ex-boyfriend, Damian. On February 20th, 2011, my Flickr stats went through the roof with picture hits, most of them from 2007-ish when I was dating him. Even today, the count is higher than normal, and they are all multiple views of recent shots of me. I am a little freaked out by this, but can't confirm that it is him looking at the pictures. It very well could just be a weird coincidence.

Mostly, I am freaked out because this means my OFP is expired. If it hasn't expired yet, it will by the end of the month. I can't seem to find the exact date, and I don't care to continue looking.

I could apply for an extension, but I'd have to go through the entire process again. Filing, getting him served with papers, etc...on top of the process, he hasn't contacted me since April 4th, 2009.

I have heard it is 'best' to wait until when/if the offender contacts you to consider filing for an extension. On one hand, if the offender has 'forgotten' about you, or at the very least, moved on to someone else, they will likely leave you alone. Serving them with new papers brings back the feelings from two years ago, and can be dangerous. On the other hand, many offenders count the days until [the OFP expires] they are 'allowed to contact' the filer again. Many of these contacts after an OFP expires do not go well.

In either event, the spike in my Flickr stats got me thinking, so I looked him up on facebook. Lo and behold, here he is. His profile picture is a snotty sign about sexual harassment, and he just added it within the past few days.

Even though it's been a full two years, I still never let my guard down. I don't frequent places that I know he/we used to hang out, and I'm always on the look out. There have been several times when I thought I saw him, and my heart still races every time. I get the feeling that he will not hesitate to come up to me if he sees me out and about. I just really hope that he has no idea where I am living, and that he's not in contact with anyone who would.

I wish I could sleep...the sooner I get to sleep, the sooner it will be 8am, the sooner I'll be high on nitrous oxide, the sooner this will all be over.
