Late to bed and early to rise, apparently.

Shocker of the day! I've been up since 5:00 AM!

I didn't get to sleep until after 1am and I had a fairly active day. Well, more active than the previous days during which I slept many many hours. But apparently four hours was all I needed last night, even after meat fest at Fogo. Which was delicious, btw.

Anyway, despite my efforts to go back to sleep, my brain was having none of it. Truth is, I've been a little stressed the last couple days. Worried about money. I've done the "paycheck math" over and over again but new money never seems to appear. I did another calculation after checking my bank balance today. I discovered I should be fine for the month barring any emergencies, I thought I'd be able to rest. False! So I did some yoga (15 minutes of sun salutations) and had breakfast. Paid bills, made coffee, talked to my dad, cleaned up my desk a bit.

Yesterday, I completed my proposed to-do items even before going out to dinner. All my dishes were clean, I had worked out and I applied for not one but two jobs!

Today I will be at my parent's house cleaning (aka making money) and doing my laundry. Since I'm up so early, I anticipate being done early there, too.

My newest home project? Feng Shui. My brother loaned me a book he got and I'm learning about what areas of my home represent what areas of my life and what I need to do in each one. It seems as though I've unintentionally made some good feng shui choices in my apartment but I have to make a few changes and enhancements. For example, because of the layout, sections of my "career" and "skills and knowledge" areas are set inside Pepper Guy Neighbor's place. So I have to get a 'cure' to bring that space back in to my control. Also, my office/desk area is in my "prosperity" area and I need to work on organizing it and getting rid of the things that are bad influences (bills sitting out, old financial statements in the filing cabinet). I'll let you know how it goes! PS, the book is called Move your Stuff, Change Your Life and it's very user friendly.

I'd also like to find more jobs to apply for this week. My parents have been very helpful with ideas and forwarding job postings. I'm excited about the two I responded to yesterday; I have high hopes once again.

The annoying part of all this forward progress? I feel like my brain is running out of control. It's just going, going, going and as a result I feel like I need to go, go, go. Does that make sense? It's a little like having too much caffeine except I've had hardly any. Thus, it appears my only solution is to simply DO so many things as to get the ideas and the energy out. It's crazy!

Anyway, off to collect dirty laundry and get dressed. Have great Wednesdays!
