I know that by now I should have pictures of my apartment to post. However sleep is precious and tends to be difficult to get in large doses. This is due in large part to the windows in my apartment. The one in my bedroom is massive. I haven't had a tape measure to size it up, but I've guesstimated at about 6 feet by around 5 1/2 feet. Thankfully, it has blinds. But the problem is that it faces East. So about 6:35am the sun wakes me up. I need the ability to sleep in during the mornings when I have free time. However, that is still an issue. I need curtains or something.

But apparently my potential roommate Daylnn (I dunno how to spell her name yet), is going to be here and then it will be determined if I will be rooming with her or not. I think the biggest issue is her cat. I'm allergic and I would hate to make her feel bad for bringing her baby with her to Texas. So Matt might keep us in separate apartments so I don't die. I'm struggling to sleep as it is, (same with everyone else in the office that has windows that face East), so adding a cat to the mix might be disastrous for me. However, I haven't even met Daylnn yet, and she might be super extra mega cool. I hope so. I'd like a female perspective on selling and how I can use it to my advantage.

In addition to my struggles with sleep, I obtained a very nasty sunburn last week when I forgot to apply sunscreen one day before knocking. It got worse this past Saturday when we knocked all day. It literally blistered in one area. That night I went to the local Wal-Mart and got a bottle of Aloe with Lydicane in it to help the burn heal. Then Sunday morning I seemed to develop a little case of hives on my neck. They itch and aren't very nice to look at. But the itching has subsided as time has gone by. However the supposed hives have not. I don't know what they are from. Even with all of the moving in, I have maintained much of what I had at home in Utah. Haven't changed any sort of soaps or anything. In fact, I'm washing all of my bedsheets in the hope that will help solve the problem. I'm also not applying the Aloe to my neck in any way to see if that's part of the problem.

Can a person be sensitive or allergic to a specific type of sunscreen? I have no idea where to go from here with the hives. Any sort of ideas are welcome and encouraged.
Also, I need to spoil myself a little with a nice mattress pad for my bed. At this point it's much to hard for my taste and with sleep being so important, I need to do everything I can to facilitate it. Any suggestions for a mattress pad would be welcomed and encouraged as well. Although I think that the curtains aren't an issue. Once I know if I'll be moving apartments this week, I'll be better prepared to purchase curtains.

I'm just growing weary of not sleeping as much as I want and being so damn sunburned with no relief in sight. I'm going to switch up my sleep tonight in the hopes that it will help. I also hope that washing my sheets will help as well.
