sick days aren't what they used to be
so i went into work for an hour yesterday and then went home. but you know, it wasn't the same. not even the same as staying at home from school. the daytime tv wasn't as good (no star trek, golden girls or macguyver to be had) and the feeling wasn't the same. that feeling of respite, of sinking into the couch and not moving for the whole day -- and, i don't know...it was just different. i still feel more rested than had i worked and dayquil, oh how could i forget that dayquil was so good?, is easing me through my day now.
i guess i'm just getting more entrenched in the reality of 9-5, repay your loans, this is your life for the next 40 years. it's depressing.
blah, i have to go present shopping after work and then home to interview new roommates because mayumi is going back to japan. there's another reality check -- will i really be able to stay here in canada or will i be forced to make a tactical retreat to nevada? part of me finds the idea of going home again appealing -- take some courses at UNR or the local community college and beef up my credits and then apply for an education program somewhere. more and more i lean towards the idea of teaching in primary education.
the problem with all of that lies in the fact that i have just as many roots here as anywhere else at this point -- quite frankly, i have more than most places.
i guess i'll just focus on birthday present shopping. that's an anxiety i can handle.
