<\/p>\n

I haven’t been sleeping very well. I’m not sure why. I don’t feel anxious, I’m not stressed about work, I haven’t increased my caffeine intake, and I’m not working out any less. I’m not overly worried about it because I know that insomnia eventually makes me so tired, the problem takes care of itself. But in the meantime, I’m an idiot. I’m spacey, clutzy, and a little grumpy. <\/p>\n

So when I woke up yesterday and looked at the calendar, I thought to myself, “Why does November 16 feel like it’s a significant day?” I thought about it for about the amount of time it took me to brush my teeth and wrote it off to sleepiness.<\/p>\n

Last night, I was talking to my mom, who is in Maui at the moment, about what they had planned for the evening. “We’re going to the scene of the crime,” she said. “Where’s that?” I asked, thinking maybe some hip, new place had opened on the island since I’d last been there. “Nick’s Fish House, where we got married,” she told me. Oh right, Nick’s. I love that place.<\/p>\n

Did I pick up on it then? No, dear reader, I did not.<\/p>\n

We talked some more and it wasn’t until mom said, “He got me the most beautiful anniversary present…” that I remembered that yesterday is their freakin’ anniversary. <\/p>\n

You may or may not know this about me, but I ALWAYS remember this kind of thing. I never forget birthdays or wedding anniversaries or the exact day I got my braces off. I just have a sticky mind when it comes to important dates. And I was THERE when they got married in Maui three years ago. It’s not like it happened before I was born. Needless to say, I felt like crap for the rest of the night. I didn’t even send them a card!<\/p>\n

November 16. November 16. I came to work this morning and put it in my Outlook calendar on a recurring yearly reminder. I suck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
