can't sleep

It's 0144 and I can't sleep. Hubby's been having trouble sleeping lately because apparently I snore really loudly. We'll go to sleep together but about 50% of the time he'll move to the guest room in the middle of the night. This has only been happening since we moved to GA and our guest room is conveniently located next to our bedroom. I, however, rarely have trouble falling alseep or staying asleep. But tonight, we went to sleep at 2230 and I woke up at midnight and have been up ever since. Hubby moved to the guest room after half an hour of listening to the dogs lick themselves.

When I do end up waking up in the middle of the night, my mind starts racing. Tonight, it was about our impending move. This is probably spurred on by the overseas brief I'm attending in about 6 hours. I e-mailed an old OIC of mine who moved to Hawaii last year to see what the word was on a job. He pretty much told me I have no chance of working on post. So now I have to get a new license and hope there are job opportunities off post. But still at about midnight I realized I had to submit my resume to CPOL immediately (to the non-existent job, mind you). I also realized my submission to the hospital here had expired a month ago and I had to renew that as well (also to a non-existent job). So here I am. Those things took me about 5 minutes to complete.

I almost completed my first pair of pajama pants in class today. We didn't have enough time. Unfortunately, today was the last class. But she's letting us sneak into her other classes this week to finish them up. So hopefully they'll be complete by Thursday. I'll have a week off and then I start class #2. Skirt, trouser or fitted shirt...what should I choose? I think for this class we only have time for 1 project.

Today I had lunch with a girl I first met when we got to Texas in 2006. We never quite hit it off and we ended up going our separate ways the rest of the time there. We had some mutual friends but we never hung out. I heard through the grapevine that she was bored so I figured I'd give her a call. We ended up eating for 30 mins and talking for about 3 hours. It was great! We talked about everything...and I really mean everything. Now usually in these situations, I tend to get myself in some trouble. Sometimes I put my foot in my mouth but most of the time I just say too much. I realize more and more each day that I'm way too open with strangers. Within 5 mins of meeting me you've probably learned my life story and when I get my period. I hear myself saying things that are not appropriate when you first meet a person but I can't stop myself (even though the little voice in my head is begging me to stop). So I end up overwhelming people and driving them away. That's part of the reason I can't make friends. Surprisingly, today I did the same thing but she was open to it and we had some really good conversation. The crappy part is that she lives about 30 mins away. But I'm hoping we'll still get to hang out every once in a while.

I've made quite a few friends here but not really anyone who I can call up at anytime to hang out with. I can't really complain. My time is occupied and I've met some really great people. Alright, I better try to get some sleep. I don't know how I'm going to make it through 3 hours of an overseas brief....
