i'm sick...
well, hopefully it's just allergies, because it's just my nose and throat that are giving me hell. i was running a fever when i got up this morning, and though it has passed, i'm still achy and tired.
anyway, i'll save you the details of the gloriousness that came from my sinuses earlier, and just move on now. :)
so after going to work this morning, and then calling in sick to my other job, i went home and crashed out for a couple of hours. i woke up with both kitties curled up with me: booger at my legs, and macaroni pressed against my tummy. mmm...so warm!
anyway, i got up and worked on homework for a bit, since i had five writing practices due by midnight tonight. ugh. after not getting far, i gave up on the homework and just crashed out in front of the t.v. for awhile.
all in all, it wasn't a horrible day, but i hate being sick, and i'm ready for this shit to go away. i'm sure the eminent weather change isn't going to help matters, but one can hope. we'll see. i have to get up and go to work tomorrow, which sucks, but kelley's gonna be there, and with mcdonald's breakfast nonetheless :D yea!
methinks i'm gonna call it a day, though, and maybe go to bed a bit early tonight. since i got home from work this morning i've been wearing insulated wind pants, a thermal shirt under a hoodie pullover, and a pair of rob's long socks so my feet wouldn't be cold. trust me, i'm reeeeaaal attractive right now...w00t! :P
alrighty, night all!

obligatory hump-day post...
so far, this week has been one for thinking. whether it be over the past, present, or future, my mind cannot seem to find enough minutes in the day to consider, ponder, or just let thoughts marinade. and though my eyes are struggling with all they have left in them to remain open at times, it has been a dutiful process that has brought forth some issues with a blinding light that rivals that of one experiences when leaving a movie theater. unfortunately, or perhaps, as with all things, while some issues were illuminated, others sank slowly into the shadows and recesses of my mind.
with all of this thinking, i would be lying if i claimed my headaches and exhaustion were simply from school and work. (though they definitely have their part in all of this)
so while i sit here wondering where the rest of the week will take me in thought, and as booger attempts to get into anything and everything that is forbidden territory within the confines of my room, there is an overwhelming calm that has wrapped around me, like a warm blanket, fresh from the dryer, on a cold wintery day.
with that said:
my creative writing class is going fantastically! ha! no, but seriously, i am loving it. while i enjoy writing, and always have, in recent years i've felt as though i haven't had much to say, or if i did, it was the same thing over and over again. a perpetual cycle of incessant bitching with a brief and reluctant revelation thrown in from time to time. the proverbial hamster wheel, if you will. me, being the hamster, running in that damn wheel, with moments of pause to consider that i'm getting nowhere, only to begin running again. however, this class has given me new reason to write, and thus far my professor seems to think i possess some sort of talent, so there ya go!
other than that, it has been a fairly slow week. tuesday i worked a twelve hour day, which for some may not seem long, but for me was. and while i did it for good reason (ie - to help out a friend), and i did get paid for all of my kind-hearted efforts, i have to say that not even the dutch apple pie from burger king could lift my spirits at the end of the night. but man, was that a good pie. mmm...
today was better, though i sat through my geology lecture and, yet again, could not tell you what the hell was going on. it's not that i cannot grasp the information, no, far from it; it's that i, sadly, just don't care about rocks. i'm hoping to just make it through this first few weeks, so as to be able to get on to the more interesting parts of the course, like weather systems and the oceans. we shall see.
okay, well i think i have to be off the computer now. i've been sitting here reading for my english course for an hour or so, just to be able to take a quiz before mid-night, and now my eyes are feeling a bit wobbly. (weebles wobble but they don't fall down!)
alrighty, night all!

sometimes, that's reality...
ugh.
that's really all i can say about this past week.
just, ugh.
the week started off fine, and though i was already exhausted by tuesday, i was still getting things done and so forth. by early wednesday, however, i felt my mood starting to slip, and it seems that once it started there was no slowing it.
by the time i woke up thursday morning i was in a foul mood, and there was no talking to me. everything irritated me, and i still had to go to work with the kiddos. yeah...let's just say that didn't go as swimmingly as it normally would have. by 6p.m. the kids nearly had me in tears, and mentally i had given up and thrown in the towel.
i dunno. it was just one of those weeks i guess. everything i've been trying to ignore, or telling myself is okay, finally caught up with me all at once.
it'll be fine, it's just getting there.
anyway, i'm off to make coffee and find something yummy to eat. have a great rest of the weekend all.

the circle plays...
i'm exhausted. i have been all week, and i have absolutely no excuse for it. i was able to get two nights in a row of sleep without meds, so that was nice.
currently, i have a headache, so this will probably be fairly short. well, for that reason, and because i don't really have much to talk about :)
so far, the year has been going pretty good. i say that now, but give me a week and i may have changed my mind. starting monday, and then every monday for the rest of the semester, i will be getting up at about 6:30a.m. to make it to my 8a.m. geology lab. can you sense my excitement? yeah...thought so.
ugh...why do i do this to myself? i get myself into situations that i'm really not very happy with, but still somehow talk myself into because they're the "right decision". if i didn't take the early morning lab, i wouldn't be able to graduate this semester, and i could only take the early morning lab because i work two jobs that take up the rest of my time six days a week.
i shouldn't bitch about it because i really am lucky to be able to go to school and work, as well as not have to worry about other finances. i'm just in one of my moods right now...the wonderful funk that will pass in a couple of days, but until it does will keep me from seeing the glass half full.
hey, at least i'm aware of it. meh.
tomorrow i will be heading to g-ville to shoot a bit. i've got a solo display in july at the local library there, and i've gotta figure out what the heck i'm going to do for it. i've been brainstorming a couple ideas, but i'm one of those people that i won't really know what i'm doing til i've already shot it. so i think i'll head there tomorrow, shoot some, process it this week in the lab, and then go from there. i still have a bunch of film to process from my trip to mississippi. argh...so much stuff in my head!
okay, well i have a sleeping kitty half way on my leg and it's starting to go numb, so i should probably move her. hope everyone is having a great weekend.
much love to the masses,

so it's a new year...again...
okay...so, last year i did the whole resolution thing, and only really fulfilled one of them, being to concentrate more on my art. i did not lose more weight, i did not get my credit card paid off, and i did not finish out my associates degree.
in all honesty...i'm pretty much okay with that.
this year, however, my one and only resolution is to make goals throughout the year and fulfill them instead of making a few big goals at the beginning of the year and failing at all of them.
so far this year is shaping out to be better than '07, and though i've probably just jinxed it (haha), i would like to try and keep it that way. so i hope all of your new years are going well, and that you fulfill whatever resolutions you may have made.
that's all for now, but i'll have more later.
much love
