Can't Sleep

Why is it that on the days when I want to sleep in, I can't; and on the days when I don't want to, I can? Typical. I've been tossing and turning for the past hour trying to get my ass back to sleep. Sux!

J and I did some running around yesterday and looked at townhouses. Right now, I don't even want to think about it. I've got so much shit to get done and to worry about: School, Work (major reorganization happening in the next 6 months or so), getting finances in order, etc...

Actually, the finances is not that big of a deal. For those of you who have known me for a while, know that I really let things slip in the late 90's. I was depressed and what do boys like me do when we are depressed? We SHOP! Unfortunately, everyone and their brother gave me an f'ing credit card. I maxed out many of them. But, when the bills came due, I just ignored them. I wasn't making enough money back then to do anything about them. Then, in 2001, I started to turn things around. I'd been working at my current company for about 6 months and had gotten caught up with the things that I needed to do urgently (like buy a car so I could get to work). I consolidated all of my old credit cards and paid them off in a little over a year and a half. Then, I started to work on my credit reports. Credit reports are evil things. When they are good, they are really good and help you out. When they are bad, they show no mercy. Anywho, Flash Forward to present. I've got everything paid off that was delinquent, I've got my old student loans almost paid off, and I have 3 credit cards and a new car loan which are halping me rebuild my credit. I think that al of the bad shit will drop off of my credit report in the next year or so, but I'm not quite sure. So what was I saying???

Oh yeah, worrying about finances. I'm not really worried. Just trying to figure out where best to put my money and what to save up for. Once upon a time I lived beyond my means...now...my means are a little beyond my spending (Which is a great place to be).

Now if only I could stop worrying about everything else...
