I Pity The Fool

I’m going to be pissed at myself tomorrow for yet another night of <6 hours’ sleep.  However, I can triumphantly drift off into dreamland, resting secure in the knowledge that:

• I finally found a "man with van" available on Saturday, who actually answered the phone (while not in the movies), and can come during the daytime.
• I discovered an airline I’d never heard of, which appears to be the only one that can get me in and out of Sacramento at normal times of the day (Sidestep.com pointed me in the right direction; it’s called Frontier Airlines and I don’t give a crap that I won’t be earning double Orbitz points on this one)…thus, I will finally get to lay eyes on my cousin’s now-14-month-old baby for the first time (before he becomes a big brother in 6 months…damn, that was fast).
• I found $5 crumpled up on the floor of my new apartment…this doesn’t *entirely* make up for the annoying amount of hair also scattered around on the floor, nor for the annoying non-sleeper-sofa abandoned in the living room (at the top of a double flight of stairs), but I felt I deserved it nonetheless.
• I’m only slightly ashamed to admit a guilty pleasure in the thought that the $5 might have belonged to my landlady’s bratty kid.

Tomorrow I head for the women’s jail for the first time ever…luck be a lady… ;)  Seriously, please be a lady, and not a lady with a beard and a switchblade.
You think I’m joking???
P.S. Did you notice that my previous IPTF posting was #150?  I did, but chose not to mention it because I was still wallowing in self-pity…whereas now, I’m too busy to wallow, but I’ll acknowledge that I’m still dipping my toes in a small puddle of it from time to time.
P.P.S. Shout-outs to those of you who did not allow me to wallow too much (or at least gave me proverbial waterwings.  Silly-looking waterwings that we can all laugh at).  You know who you are.
