Woke up a few minutes ago feeling refreshed and thought the clock said 7:08am. I just looked at it again and realized that it actually said 1:35am.

So I stayed up to watch the Alabama/Ohio state game and went to bed knowing i had to get up early. I just laid my head on the pillow when my computer "rang". It was a problem with a system at work. I thought I could resolve through the network, but after several tries I couldn't. I had to end up driving in to work, getting there at 3AM and working the issue that turned into issues (plural) and finally finding out (just now at noon the next day) that what I did - the procedures I followed, the skill set I've learned, the experience I have, the initiatives I took, the work I did - didn't amount to much. The problem could have resolved itself because of some fail safes already in place for just such an issue. In short, I wasn't needed, I created extra work, and the effort I made and the fact that I missed a lot ...well all of sleep was really for nothing except maybe I learned a lesson. Maybe even an important one.
The lesson I also learned this morning is that maybe I'm not always needed. That my advice or love or attention I might give isn't always a thing that's wanted or needed. A failsafe might be in place that I'm not aware of and I might just be making things worse when I was trying to make it better. I didn't respect the fact that the writers of the program I was working on had foreseen the kind of issue I encountered and had written in steps to counteract it.
I'm learning that maybe I'm not respecting the fact that God has written in plans for others that gives them strengths or faith that move mountains that help them to counteract.
It hurts to lose sleep and I have a full day ahead of me and it's only lunchtime. But I get overtime and that's good. It hurts to realize my help might not be needed, but it's a blessing to understand a lesson and that's good too!

Thank you! ^_^
lol my fiancé suggested that! But I've actually slept on air mattresses before and none of them were supportive enough for me. My old mattress was so bad I think it actually gave me back problems and contributed to my many nights of insomnia (With the exception of air mattresses and my own mattress, I sleep like a baby on ANY other mattress and wake up without back aches).

I liked the second one "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug". I have no idea how good the recently-released "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies", is. I hope it is good because I want to watch it.
as for my Fiancé, he was amused by how young some of the reappearing actors were, especially Orlando Bloom, in contrast with "The Hobbit". Also, he FINALLY saw the famous scene that's quoted in the meme: "one does not simply walk into Mordor". He leaped off the couch and quoted it in tandem with the film xD

Running a fever of 101.
It's amazing how much difference a couple few degrees makes, body temperature-wise. A change of a couple of degrees in the house or outside...barely notice. Your body temperature rises just a little...it's trippy. I feel hot and cold at the same time and it's hard to keep my eyes open.
Teeeea time.
