the time that i somehow made it through the week alive

what an amazingly exhausting week that went by rather quickly.

i wasn’t able to sleep much this week. it was rather horrible. my ability to sleep is diminishing by the day. it has become increasingly evident over the last few weeks that i just don’t seem to be able to get more than 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night and even those aren’t the best. i manage to get more on the weekend but that’s only because i take advil pm to help get some sleep (ironically i’ve had headaches everyday for the past week or two). the results came back on the sleep study that they did on me the previous week and they found absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. very, very annoying. i did manage to get a ridiculously expensive prescription for my stomach medicine out of this though. i started doing the mail order service to get 3 months worth of pills at once. it cost me a $100 co-pay but even more amazingly is the $800 that insurance was billed on top of that. so now i have this bottle the size of a red bull can that is filled with almost $1000 worth of my stomach medicine. that just blows my mind.

work has been incredibly busy. i literally spent half of the week on the phone negotiating. so much to get done and while it’s a bit stressful, i have to say that it’s incredibly fulfilling. over the last few weeks i’ve expanded my role at the agency to include some interactive media duties and i have to say that i’m having a blast. i love being able to do my traditional media planning/strategy and then also getting to work on interactive media strategy. so yes work is crazy busy but i’m loving every minute. one of the other planners on my team and i are even entering into the media portion of the cannes young lions competition which is rather exciting.

speaking of work … my client did an AMAZING thing this week and gave me tickets to the live taping of death cab for cutie’s performance on the pbs soundstage show. i can’t even put into words how exciting that is.

that’s pretty much all i’ve got for the moment.
