In thirty short hours I will be able to sleep. That's the only thought keeping me sane right now. Working so much is starting to make me a little loopy.

Though I do have to admit I'm in a much better mood today. Work was dead last night, I got home a little earlier than usual, and of course I couldn't settle down. I called Jeff and we talked for awhile. He talked me into going to his house (didn't really take all that much convincing...) so I showered and stopped by which is why, of course, I'm feeling so much better today.

I just like being around him, I guess. While I don't trust anyone, I trust him a little more than most. I always find myself laughing when I'm with him. Of course, I can't underestimate the importance of actual physical contact. You don't know how much I miss simply HUGGING someone. I've never been a touchy-feely-lovey sort of person. I don't hug. My mother used to tell me when I was young that I was "all prickles and stings" because I wouldn't hug or let anyone close. There are only a few people who've managed to worm their way into my physical affections. Yesterday was the first time I actually hugged first. Jeff was surprised, as was I, but it felt so great to hug something other than a beagle.

I ended up staying with him until almost 3am. While I'm exhausted today and know I'll be working until midnight tonight...it was worth it.

Added bonus? Someone brought bagels to work this morning. Yippee! I didn't bring anything to eat today...that bagel was like a light at the end of the tunnel.

"Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain..."
