I hate when I oversleep and get up later than the time I want and need to get up. Edie claims she woke me on time and I responded with a good morning and a statement that I was getting up, but I don't recall that at all! She was so buried in her studies that she hadn't noticed the passage of time, so it was as much of a surprise to her when I emerged from the bedroom with a "Why didn't you get me up?" at 9:00 AM!
I'm used to having my coffee and a cigarette while "waking up" and then taking care of the daily routine things of making the bed, cleaning up dishes, taking out trash, showering and dressing, and making my to-do list for the day before I officially begin my work day at 9:30. Emerging from the bedroom at 9:00 meant things were not going to work out that way today!
It also meant I could not go for my early jaunt downtown to take care of business and maybe do some shopping. Plans had to shift to Edie going to the post office and bank on her way to school and I would have to put off the shopping to another time.
Edie also informed me that, although we are already late paying this month's rent and we were going to pay it today, we do not have enough money to pay the rent yet. And the car payment is due by tomorrow. That "I'm ok" mode I have been in suddenly turned into a sick, knotted stomach, panic mode!
The rest of my morning and so far this afternoon I have been stressing over the fact that I will have to talk with the landlord and tell him we need more time. (In the back of my mind I'm thinking that it's a good thing I didn't go shopping this morning because I can't justify spending the dollars in my wallet if we might need the cash for something else right now.)
This has truly been a bad start to the day. I hope things get better, but I certainly hope they don't get worse!
