Slightly Overdone

I think I overdid it yesterday.  Here's what happened:

• I went to work and sat for 8 plus hours
• And for those 8 plus hours I did data entry (snooze)
• But, as my attention span is approximately 7 seconds (the mono's only made it worse), it was a very, very long day.
• I forgot to mention that I took the train to and from work yesterday (go me!)
• Which means I have to wake up a whole lot earlier
• And add an hour plus to my already long day.
• After my train ride home, I ate dinner, my beautiful mother having it ready for me when I walked in.
• Unfortunately, we had tacos.  I don't like tacos.  I made myself a cheese quesadilla.
• Once dinner was eaten and cleared I had to run to FHE because I said I would be there.
• They ended up not officially starting FHE until 7:30, so we all just milled around for a half hour.
• As I had already predetermined I was going to leave at 7:45, at 7:50 I headed home.  At home, I changed my clothes, pulled out my laptop, and turned on the TV.
• I watched a workout video on my laptop while watching the Bachelorette on the tube (I love technology).
• And for the first time in over a month (that's right, I said a month), I exercised (something more than walking or working in the garden).
• It kicked my butt, and I didn't even try very hard, and for only 30 minutes.
• Once the show was over and I was through with my sweat session, I cleaned out my backpack
• And called my boyfriend .
• And then I got mad at him and said good night, as neither of us were very congenial.
• And then I stewed for a little while.
• I got ready for bed
• And did a load of laundry.
• I grumbled through the bedtime routine
• And finally turned off the light.

And this morning I am beyond exhausted.  I was 15 minutes late to work (but no one noticed because I was still the first one here) because I was in slow motion all morning.  And I still am.  Only now it is 9:42 and all I have to do is more data entry and I just don't want to.  So I'm trying to avoid it as long as possible.  But regardless of how long I avoid it, I still will be sitting at work for 8 hours plus today, in addition to the 5 hours I get to sit at class tonight.  And I'm pretty sure my attention span is still only 7 seconds.  And soon my body will start telling me it is sore from the Pilate's, and my poor sleep will start catching up to me.  And I really need to tell my boyfriend that I am sorry...but making up just isn't the same when you can't do it in person.

Today I Walked Across the Bridge

And then got peed on by a bird. 

Lovely.

I finally made it across Legacy Bridge and back.  As everything on campus, it is closer than it seems; it just looks far away.  I don't know why it has taken me so long to cross it.  Maybe it is the fact that even the bridge itself is slightly slooped uphill.  Or that there really isn't anything on the other side.  Still, it was a fun adventure, one that I will probably be repeating. 

And the best part is that the sun was finally out and the skies were warm. 

Welcome, June.  It's about time.

Oh, Yeah!

I took the train to work today.  It was my first time in months.  Go me!

Still Working

I guess one good thing that has come from being sick is that I was out of work for a week due to my coworker's fear of contracting whatever it was that I had.  As I was at home and bored, I did get a lot of piano practice in, which requires little energy.  No Chinese, no reading, no homework, but my fingers were flying on 'Fur Elise'.

Taking the Good with the Bad

Well, the bad news is that I've been super sick for 2 plus weeks.

The good news is that I've lost 3 pounds due to lack of appetite and severe sore throat.

The bad news is that I am now addicted to drugs, as they make me feel better.

The good news is that I am getting better.

The bad news is that I've just been diagnosed with Mono.

The good news is my energy should be coming back soon.

Isn't life fun?
