running myself ragged

Today, I didn't feel well... but not just tired.. it was something else. Something scary. I got up and figured out a way to print out a letter to my ex wife. I used winfax and faxed it to the front desk.. the poor man's printer. Actually, I have two printers in the trunk of my car, but I couldn't get the portable to work. Anyway, back to not feeling well. I felt as if the blood wasn't getting to parts of my body.. at times I felt light headed and I would get blurred vision. I trudged along... getting through it and drove all day. I stopped at 5 of my hotels and met the General Managers. I started to feel tired again and drove to the hotel that I am at tonight. I am in Norman, Oklahoma...home of the Sooners. I have been eating well, but I had this scary feeling when the G.M. here told me that when he was 32 he had a heart attack.. the doctor told him that he couldn't smoke, drink and play raquetball 2 times a day. He said he gave up the raquetball and he has been fine for 15 years...

I had East Indian food for dinner.... it made me feel a little better, but what I really need is sleep. I am sure that I will feel better tomorrow. M is coming in to OKC and then we will be driving to Tulsa. I am excited and I want to feel good when she gets here.

Tonight a big storm hit Norman...lightning, wind, and rain going sideways. Welcome to Oklahoma.. this part is where the tornado hit hardest.



Oh.... this morning I spent over an hour trying to catch up on all my friend's blogs...I realized how much time that I used to spend on the computer.. now.. after work.. I am so tired.. I do my work emails and other things and then turn off the computer.

I am not tired becuase my work is hard.. it's the travel. Since... uh... July14th.. I have been home for about 4 nights... I can't even call it home anymore. I haven't been in a hotel for more than 2 nights... now that's living out of a suitcase, huh? It's ok.. I am getting a lot done... a lot out of the way.. so I won't have to travel as much in the future..

So.. M and I will find a house... then on Sunday we fly home together.. On Monday, I fly to Atlanta...and fly back on Friday.. the following week, I'll fly to Tulsa...and will get a ride down to OkC on Thursday....drive my car back to Tulsa and fly home on Friday....then I get 4 days at home!! My last four days in the house.. because... I then fly back to Atlanta.. until one day before the house closes.. just enough time to pack up the car and drive to Tulsa...to our new house I hope.

I have a lot to do... between now.... and that day.

Finalize all repairs needed to sell house
Collect all paperwork for new mortgage
Have a yard sale.. to sell off excess furniture and stuff
Sell my other car (anyone need a 98 taurus with 120,000 miles?? the oil has been changed every 3,000 miles)
complete the sale for the new house
Meet with a lawyer, re: visitation changes
do my job

I am sure that there is so much more to do.. but I am tired right now... I am going to go to sleep at a regular hour tonight... I hope..

You see.. I have been going to bed at 1am.. and waking up at 5am... that's not enough sleep.
