It's weird how sometimes even the blessings we receive come at a cost. For example, a lady that used to go to my church called me up earlier this week and asked if I would be willing to do some landscaping for her. Seeing as how I could use a little extra cash, I told her I'd be happy to. It would take two nights after work to complete the landscaping. The only nights I have available are last night and tonight. However, tonight(Thursday) is the night that I usually have set aside to hang out with some friends; this particular night, we're going bowling. So, I know I have to get the landscaping done, but I don't want to skip out on my friends either...so I decide to test my limits. After finally falling asleep at 2am last night, I wake up at 5:30am to be to work at 6 so I can leave two hours early at 3pm and finish up the landscaping. Well, it's 11:15am and the entire pot of coffee that I've ingested is still going strong. And by going strong, I mean hand tremors, occasional dizziness, and frequent zoning out. But hey, it's better than falling asleep at work. The extra money will be nice as long as I don't fall asleep mid-throw tonight and end up using my head as the bowling ball. Thank God I have the weekend off.
