I’m tired. I’m having a lot of difficulty just focusing on the computer monitor to type this. I keep yawning every couple minutes, and my eyes sting with fatigue. The odd thing is, I’ve slept recently, but I guess I’m just not getting very good sleep. Friday night I went to bed kind of late because of playing EQ with the husband, but I got to sleep in a bit Saturday before Sarah and Jessica’s Continue reading →

Friday: I already went over the insanity that was Friday at work with the flood of students all day long. Friday after work, my man Damien was at the house so him, the husband and I hung out for a while before heading to the Outback for dinner. I had one of their Margaritaville ‘Ritas, which was three times the size of a normal margarita, and a steak. Yum! Continue reading →

Okay, so here are the updates from this morning since I’ve been home. Not a whole lot to add, but a few items of interest, I think. Enjoy the rest of your evening! Here goes: Continue reading →

Grarr. My headache is powerful enough to break mountains! It sucks. So far I’ve taken two Tylenol, two Aleve, a Benadryl, and a vitamin this morning. I’m working on a Mello Yello, so maybe the caffeine will help too. I teach in about fifteen minutes, so I gotta get perky before then. So, random updates for now: Continue reading →

It’s morning again. That seems to happen a lot around here, come to think of it. I’m almost looking forward to getting laid off in July just so I’ll have a month to sleep in. After the past two semesters I’ve had, I could use a month of sleep. I sympathize with MacGuyver (which I’ve been watching a lot of lately) when he gets back from some project Pete gave him because he’s always exhausted Continue reading →

So the headache I have now is going on about three or four days old. I can’t remember when it started, but it hasn’t gone completely away yet despite the drugs and extra rest I’ve been throwing at it. Happy. Oh well, I’m going to feed it some Chinese food and caffeine now. Maybe the fact that I haven’t had caffeine since Monday isn’t helping. We’ll try that then. After eating, I’ll try Continue reading →

I’m taking a quickie lunch break from the thesis and figured I could add some more to the information given this morning. Lessee, I got a call from the car repair place. Fixing the electrical system will be about $100, plus a belt is rotting through and needs replaced, so there’s another $70. He also highly suggested that the Mom-mobile get a complete tune-up which will run about Continue reading →

I sometimes wonder what the acme of forgetfulness would be (outside of and ignoring amnesia). I mean, I remembered Buster (though I have managed to forget him before), I remembered Buster’s power cord (something else I’ve forgotten before as well), and I remembered all the books that I normally haul around with me to and from work (some of which I’ve forgotten several times, Continue reading →

Quote of the day: “This (…) stinks worse than an otyugh covered in sauerkraut on a hot day.” –The Order of the Stick

The van is effectively dead. I tried starting her up this morning and she just made this “murrring” noise then silence every time I turned the key. The supposedly dead gauges flickered to life, Continue reading →
