At Last!

I didn’t get enough sleep last night… actually I didn’t get ANY sleep last night. No specific reason, just one of those nights you must have every once in a while I guess.
Anyway, last night, not being able to sleep, I tried to get myself busy. Wasn’t in the mood for TV, so I read my head off, yet nothing happened, my eyes were all wide open with this burning sensation you get when you’re so damn exhausted but you can’t sleep.
I walked around the apartment like a ghost, I ate all the unhealthy snacks available, I took yet another shower that only energized the hell out of me, I walked again -in circles this time, like a jerk- and just then I realized that things would be really different if I only had my phone line working and my internet connection all set up for me to surf until I fall asleep.
After managing to stop cursing all people responsible for the phone line misery we’re suffering from for a loooooong while, I finally crawled back into bed, read some more and finally fell asleep.
A couple of hours later (8 a.m.) Adam woke me up for my busy day to start.

8:30 We heard the most beautiful relaxing soothing sound of our dust-covered-phone ringing…
We couldn’t believe it at first, but once I picked up the speaker and got the maintenance on the other end, I must say my exhaustion and desire to sleep faded away. I felt so overwhelmed I could’ve cried… cried?! no, I could’ve weeped so easily.
The poor maintenance guy must have been terribly shocked, I mean the way I shouted: Are you sure it’s fixed once and for all? You mean it will work after we hang up? So you’re saying it’s simply working now? No more going dead? please call after a while to check if it’s still working! Now, not to sound pushy or something, but you are positive about that, no mistakes, no accidents, nothing right?!
After assuring me and reassuring me that things should be fine now, I started dancing and running all around the place like a crazy little girl, I stopped when I saw Adam staring at me with his mouth open holding his pacifier in shock!

I can’t really describe how happy I am! I’m so happy yet so worried that the line will go dead again! God forbid!
I’ll go catch up on my emails and check out what’s been cooking in the blogosphere!
AH! IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK!
