sleepless in Invisible

I've been having a terrible time sleeping lately. Last weekend I woke up before 5:00 AM, so Trish & I both went to bed early, when who should appear but Kimothy, our deaf friend. I explained in sign -- though she had a cochlear implant & is learning speech -- that we were going to bed early that night; come back some other time. Then Thursday Trish was called off work. McDonald's was having a slow day & said they didn't need her. So Kim showed up again that night & talked to us quite a bit in sign, which was OK, 'cause Trish didn't have to work, anyway. That night I only took one of my sleeping pills & woke up at 2:00 AM. I was burned out all day, & finally invited Fred over to watch a movie with me, when Trish was at work. That night, I made sure to take 2 Restorel, & 2 Benadryl on top of it. I woke up around 8:00, so I'm finally feeling rested, & able to work on QA.

Trish just left for her hair appointment. She's going driving again with Trish-uh! this afternoon, & will be taking her break in PJ's, a nearby restaurant. After the way McDonald's treated her Thursday, & the way they cut her down from 20 hours to 12, I suggested she try to find another job. She took out an application for the 4B's yesterday, when we walked to McRonald's to pick up her check, & today she'll be applying at PJ's. I think she has a good chance of getting in there, & am really hoping she does, as it's not that far to walk in inclement weather.
