::Yawn::

I should be a lot more tired than I am. Like a fool, I stayed on to work 11-7 last night, and come about 4am, I was fighting to stay awake. I paced in the Rec Yard, chatted on the phone, and read old emails to keep my mind going. When it came time to drive home, I called my mom to chat, so I wouldn’t zonk out at the wheel.

I hit the shower before hitting the sheets – something about 16 hours in prison always makes me feel dirty, LOL. But when I fell into bed, I think I was asleep before my head even fit the pillow. I had been awake for almost 24 hours.

Four hours later, I was wide awake and irritated. I had time for 2 more hours of sleep, but I knew it wasn’t going to happen. So, I got up, made coffee, and sat down to Redbubble.

Low and behold, I placed in the Top Ten in three more challenges. So, my day started off cheerily, despite the limited sleep. Here are the photos:

Colorful Quiet placed 5th out of 51 entries in the September Avatar Challenge.

Solitude Falls placed 6th out of 21 entries in the Outstanding Orange Challenge.

Autumn Splendour placed 9th out of 17 entries in the Fall Challenge Challenge.

As you can see... my autumn images seem to be doing fairly well, LOL... Now if I can get the rest of my portfolio up to snuff...

I’m back at work now, and I’m a little rough around the edges, but I’ll get through the shift. The unit I’m on can be annoying, but I think they know that I’m in no mood for bullshit today, and they’ve been staying away from the desk. It makes me laugh, because if they used that intuition on the street, they probably wouldn’t be in prison to begin with.

Well, off I go. Perhaps I’ll write another post later. I may need something to keep me conscious.
