Insomnia is a bitch.  It's 2:11 in the morning and I can't fucking sleep.  Not even tired.  Fell asleep for about an hour, and I came to and realized my contacts were still in so I had to get up to take them out but I couldn't find my contact case anywhere so it took 10 minutes of fucking around and that was it.  Fully awake.  Fuck you Jesse, that's why.  No more sleeping till morning.  Damn it.  Hate this shit.  It was a long, tiring day and I was exhausted at 10 o'clock.  There's no reason for me to not be tired.  Honestly, I really like staying up late.  I'm alone, I know nobody is going to bother me and I can just relax and watch a movie or read.  But it fucks up my day if I'm up all night.  Although lately I'm exhausted all day no matter how much I sleep.

Put snapchat on my phone after 8 months of people asking me if I had it.  I always thought it was just a sex thing, not sure why, must've gotten that impression from something I saw or heard in prison.  Cool little toy, but it's just more crap to have on my phone, slowing shit down, draining the battery, and accessing my contacts and location constantly.  (Call me paranoid but) that shit bothers me to no end.  "Team Snapchat" sends you a bunch of these messages at first showing you these videos of exuberant people windsailing and hanging off of each other on the beach, looking excited as fuck to be alive and attached to social media.  I wish they'd make a more realistic promo showing drunk people sending stuff they would rather not have lodged in the memory of somebody else's phone the next day.

Going a but stir crazy.  Need to find something besides work and school and the gym to do occasionally.  I'm starting to become very aware of my limitations (no license or place of my own to have people come hang out at).  It's obviously several steps up from where I was last February, but the fact that I have no way to go anywhere by myself, besides biking to the gym, and no way to go anywhere and meet people, is really getting to me.  I love being here with my dad, and I'm not taking that for granted, but I'm starting to feel pretty isolated.

In the afternoon I'm going with Logan over to Dilwyn to help him load some shit up.  It will be nice to get out for a while.  Logan's good company.  I need to try to get some sleep.  Shit.

20 minutes 'till the jaunt bus gets here and after sleeping an extra 2 hours last night, I am more tired now than I usually am in the morning.  There doesn't seem to be a good way for me to wake up and have energy without taking in way more caffeine than I want to.

School is good so far.  English comp is taking up way more of my time than everything else but it's mostly enjoyable work.  There reading assignments she gives us are terrible.  Not the stuff from the textbooks, but the essays and short stories we have to read and comment on for class.  I suppose it needs to be positive, easy reading so that it's accessible to everyone in the class.  But I still can't enjoy  reading any of it.

Work is going well most of the time.  Susan was a little unaware of how trashed some of her fences were and I know it's taken her longer than she anticipated to get things working, but she knows things will usually take a lot longer than planned to finish and we're making progress.  I helped move some sheep from her house, and Brett and Naomi's, to the farm last weekend. Always fun working with animals.  Not a big fan of getting kicked in the balls over an over by a ewe while lifting it over a gate, but still enjoyed doing it.
