I'm up about two hours earlier than I need to be, but, to be fair, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I conked out so quickly, I left a bowl of ramen sitting in the microwave all night! Cold breakfast, I guess.

Work was a return to form. I had reasonable amount of sales (All of them showed up in the last hour and a half of my shift, so I'm not sure what to think of that!) and Mr. Exuberant didn't show, so I'm going to run with him being OK. I bought a phone of my own as well. It's not that fancy or pricey ($40 discounted vs my current $30 handset) and has features that help me at work and in general. A good investment, I believe!

The mechanic I chose for my oil change all but shooed me away yesterday. The ticket writer said he had too many cars and too few workers to cover them. He gave me a three hour wait time. I had that much left in my shift, so I could've said OK, but I indulged him and said I'll do it tomorrow. I'll wait as long as I need to tomorrow, because, you know, possible oil leak and I'm not going to buy quarts of oil every other day for my car!

Today will be day three without lithium. I ran out the day before last, spent the next day and a half dealing with a clerical error on my pharmacy's end (Which they were too prideful to admit might have been their bad.) and when everything was finally resolved, I forgot to grab it on my way home! I'm not forgetting it today!

Since I'm up, I figured I'd fiddle with my new phone, get all the bells and whistles how I like them, and eventually fix breakfast and lunch for the day. As the weekend is coming, my job should surely start to pick up!
