When Thursday’s a crash and burn kind of day

January 27th, 2006

You end up staying home on Friday to actually get something done.

Yesterday I washed dishes for 3 hours, had a good, but horrifically sad therapy session, got pulled over for speeding (where I seriously started hyperventilating in the car because I was already crying before he pulled me over and holy crap he probably hasn’t seen someone freaking out as much as I was.. no ticket… such a girl thing, but in my defense I wasn’t crying simply because he pulled me over), and moved gas cylinders around for 2 hours.

I came home, totally freaked out at 5-ish. Proceeded to tell Sheesha about my day, laid down for five minutes then went back into work to try and fix a piece of equipment that I had been working on all day and hadn’t gotten working yet. I said to myself, “Self - you are going to go into school and fix that instrument. And if you can’t fix it, you are going to call your boss and he is going to help you.” And that is exactly what happened. Then I came home and felt much much better.

So today, today I am just going to stay home, work on my dissertation, do my laundry, pick up my prescription, drop off my keys from my part time job that I quit a while ago, and then drive out to Santa Rosa. And maybe play some Sims. I deserve it. I worked late every day this week, except Wednesday, when I hung out with Api.

  1. sheesh, if anyone deserves an early weekend, it sounds like you do! but be careful with those Sims…they can sometimes make a good day ugly. well, when i’d play it anyway. mine would burn the food, never throw any garbage away, pee on themselves, and then die. once, one of my women just walked outside in the middle of the night and laid down by the mailbox and died. that’ll keep you away from Sims for a while…

  2. Breathing is a good and important thing. So is crying. Did some myself this weekend. Besides that, when all else fails, mess with Sims. Sounds like you are on the right path.
