Elusive sleep

So for about the last month, I've been ...wouldn't call it living, surviving would be kinda close but doesn't convey the futility...existing on about 4-5 hrs of sleep a night. I'm really not kidding. Even when it was my vacation, I didn't get any more sleep because I had to get up early for the Fedex/UPS guy, people would call me in the morning. And then there was the fire alarm in the morning too. And of course my roommate D, is deaf and likes to set his alarm really early because he "gets too much sleep." Yes, that was his response when I asked him why he sets his alarm 2-3 hrs before he has to go to work, and then doesn't do anything but going back to sleep. So I've been having migraines for the last month too b/c of this, and major bags under my eyes.

This weekend was the last straw. The idiot's alarm goes off at 10:30, waking me up. Yesterday I was kinda up but then StatsCan calls me for their annual survey which took 40 min. And I wasn't able to go back to bed. So since I had to call some places, I was up doing that. Was on hold for 30 min to PC Bank. Today idiot's alarm goes off again. So I go play Animal Crossing to get sleepy. And then the stupid snowballs keep falling in the water, so it takes me over an hour to finish the watering/talking/delivery session (usually it's about 1/2 hr). Just when I'm about to go back to sleep, my brother calls me to make last minute plans to go out to see the kids b/c she had her birthday recently. So I can't go back to sleep at all, I've got a huge headache, I'm starving and exhausted. And yeah, I had a "I'm sick of people interfering with my sleep!" tantrum. Tossed my phone at the bed a few times, smacked it around a bit. But gawd, I'm really sick of people. All I want is some peace and quiet.

And I spent the afternoon climbing around the giant jungle gym at WEM with the kids. Gawd, my knees hurt. They have bruises. And then b/c Melissa wanted to sit on me when we went down a fast (and small) tunnel slide, so I'd land on my hip or back. My arms are kinda sore too b/c I'd be pulling myself up the tunnels instead of crawling. Or lifting random little kids up b/c they couldn't get to the next part. And had waaaaay too many McD's fries. Then Melissa wet herself b/c she got too excited and didn't go to the washroom when she should've.

Anyways got a funny story about Pokemon Emerald. I'm using my Lv. 36 Lileep, who can't be switched out due to Suction Cups, but does have Ingrain (gains some life every turn). All I have for moves are Astonish, Acid and Constrict. Lileep has horribly low Attack and Special Attack stats. I'm going against a CPU trainer, and her earlier pokemon used Torment(can't use same move in a row) on my Lileep. I'm fighting a Mightyena and it keeps using Swagger(which causes my Pokemon's Attack to rise but also be confused). And I keep using Yellow Flute (cures confusion). We kept trading off on this until the Mightyena ran out of Swagger (yes it was a very long battle), and then I killed it w/ Constrict and Acid. Then it was on to her next Pokemon, killed the next 2 really quickly b/c of my boosted up Attack stats, and Ingrain gave me back all my HP. Yeah, that was very satisfying.
