I've got so much stuff to DO back home, like finding a job activities, and I missed a week of school, and and and, you know? I'm glad I made the decision to take my desktop computer, even if it's a bitch to haul around and set up. But I've not really had much in the way of uninterrupted periods to do any work on it, because Mom's had to call me for this and that so very often.
And she HATES having to call me, I know. So there's likely a bunch of things she's not calling me for....
I'm feeling very rung out this morning. Having CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) means never having to ask why you're so tired and achy. Mostly I can cope, and my CFS is comparatively mild, really. But because of that, trying to go to FOUR hours of night class after driving for 7 or so hours tomorrow really is going to suck and affect how much I can concentrate on stuff that I want to concentrate on.
Shir, I haven't asked in the least how you're doing! What's up with school, family, and so on?
I understand, Theodosia. The whole thing must be so tiring. I hope for as stressless as possible for you.
I'm fine. Finished with my last test for the semester (I hope) about two hours ago. Hence here.
And actually, going back to study now. Semester started 2 weeks ago, and I still had exams, so now I need to catch up.
Oooh, damn, it's not enough that you're finishing up exams, but you have to be starting classes at the same time? Good thing I'm not in school any more!
Oh wait. But at least it's only the one class....
Thanks, Theo. And good luck.
I hope you have fallen asleep, Theo. It would likely be best for all parties if you can make the drive today. You won't be any good to anyone, including your mom, if you deplete all your energy resources.
Shir! Welcome back.
more black coffee
Anyone have an ita update?
'Fraid not -- I haven't seen any Facebook or LJ activity either. It may be time for somebody in her vicinity to make contact in a respectful way....
Of all the times for me to actually go to bed at a reasonable hour, it would be when you return to us, Shir. I'm glad you survived exams.
At least my reason for going to bed early was that I have a brand new mattress to try out. In four decades of life, this is the first time I've ever had a new one. But back and shoulder pain were getting to me, so it was definitely time. When I went to the mattress store, the guy asked me whether I liked firm or soft, and I told him, "I have no idea, I've never had a new mattress, so I don't know what new firm or soft feels like." So he had me try them all out. Firm? Was too firm. Medium felt good. Soft felt... like I couldn't move. So I went for medium. Also, it being a Serta, I got a cute little stuffed sheep toy as a bonus. I gave that to the cats.
