Don't know what's gotten into me...

I woke up at about 12 am last night, and couldn't fall asleep until 3 am. That's after drinking some chamomile tea, verifying it was no having its desired affect, then taking some sleep medicine (which is something I hate to do), reading some pages of Chéri in french (hoping the effort would knock me down), screaming at bf because he woke me up in the first place. And today I am so tired that I had to call in sick: it would have been impossible for me to drive until my workplace, with the rain falling and the trucks passing me, after 3 hours of sleep. Because, I forgot to mention, the road I drive to work is considered the second most dangerous road in Italy! I think I am going to buy some herbal tea to drink before sleep, and I would really love to figure out what's my problem!

Good news, bad news...

Well, the bad news is that I'll have to work on Sat. I have to follow a process scale-up from the lab to the plant, and they are going to start on Sat (they cannot keep the plant unused, so they have to start as soon as they are done with the previous process). The good news is that I'll have to work on Sat. Meaning: they'll pay me more than enough to pay for a month's worth of music classes, which is a very good thing. So I am trying to see the positive in this...

Beauty and deliciousness in the Amalfi Coast!

September resolutions.

I was almost going to call this "back to school resolutions", but I am a tiny little bit too old for that! I decided to start studying music again, so yesterday I went to a music school nearby and filled my application! I am really excited, and I'll start my classes on Oct 1st. Then, I also decided to re-start ballet class (which I abandoned last november), so I called a school close to our place where I had taken classes two years ago to get infos about which days and what time are the classes. I'll start that one sooner (sep 15th). I am so happy, but at the same time these decisions should go together with a serious limitation in my shopping: otherwise I won't have enough money to pay for the classes. Well, it could be a good thing since I have more than enough clothes. And to celebrate all that, today I had to stay home - sick. Bummer!
