Slush and Insomnia does not make this Stranger Happy..

Yeah the weather warmed up again to a +2 degrees today, turning the roads and sidewalks into sandy slush. Normally I wouldn't give a shit, but all the sand gets tracked into the restaurant and deposited all over the tile floor. So I have to sweep up the coarse sand every few hours ( sometimes more depending on the amount of traffic), and theres enough sand per sweep to fill the dustpan. Sure I could leave it, but I hate the sound of scratching the sand makes against the tile when I walk across the floor. Makes me cringe..kinda the same reaction I'd give if someone scratched their nails across a blackboard. eeewwhhhhggghhh!
So I'm anticipating above average weather, and have been enjoying the fact that so far this winter season we only had 2 really cold days so far. Unfortunately I've been having trouble sleeping again. I had maybe one night this week so far where I had a half assed decent nights sleep where it didn't take me too long to drop off. Last week, despite the exercise, I didn't do much better. Believe it or not, I have been toying with the idea of obtaining something from my doc to help me get back on track. I get so freakin cranky it drives me nuts! I mean, I even cut down on the coffee today to see if that would help. No go. Then the back started paining me again, so I finally gave up on the whole sleep thing tonight. Seriously. I have to make sure my Mom is up shortly because she has another Doctors appointment for medical tests, so I may as well stay awake. Besides I only have one cigarette left in my pack and I need to get some more. If there is a plus to all of this (and this is a dig to the ex) I don't have to share my smokes with a lazy out of work bum who'll take your whole pack and leave you like 2 to last you indefinately. Hey Ostrich..mighty white of ya eh???Oh hey Ostrich...who are you blowing now to put a roof over your head? I say this cause Ostrich has gone through most of the women in Lethbridge, Calgary, and vincinity, and has probably switched teams by now...to feed his addiction to being an uber user asshole (and male whore!)! All women (and men) in Alberta and British Columbia..if you meet a guy who is Czechoslovakian, an EMT (but jokes he's an Eating Muff Technician HAR HAR HAR) tells the lamest puns, won't smile showing his teeth cause his teeth are seriously rotting outta his head from his 3 pack a day habit, and is allergic to everything, seriously addicted to Ativan, and on prescription anti psychotics ,not to mention the biggest bullshitter on the planet...run far far FAR away from him!!!
Well, thats what happens when I can't sleep..gotta take it out on shitters...especially the ones who never atone for their actions.
Enough about shit....anyhoo.....would love an update from all of you about the weather in your neck of the woods..is it cold, warm, hotter than hell? Oh and what would you rather be doing right now that, if given the opportunity and resources, would do in a heartbeat? For me its simple..I'd love a decent deep sleep for about 8 unbroken hours. Hope all is well with you!
