So, once again I am going to sleep at three AM, waking up at 9:30AM, and taking a nap at 7-8 PM and ruining everything. Lather, rinse, repeat. I wish I could fall into a nice, healthy sleep pattern and just stick with it. I expect that since classes started again, I'm going to do it out of necessity. Still trying to decide if I want the Saturday ( Read more... )

I forgot what a wreck of my free time classes make. Once I'm finished with everything, I just want to sit there and stare blankly at some nonthreatening surface, like a computer screen or nearby wall. Can't believe we're nearly at midterms. I hope everyone's been doing well out there ( Read more... )

Took care of the nephew yesterday and arranged a treat for him- I got him to pick out a movie, (which was Monsters Inc) and brought him downstairs to where I'd set up a bunch of pillows, a blanket, and his Buzz Lightyear tent. I turned off all the lights except for the base in this lamp made of red glass that looks like a lantern when lit, handed ( Read more... )

Okay, someone go ahead and tell me why I had a Toy Story dream during my one hour nap on break. A sad, depressing Toy Story dream in which Woody is apparently one of the last toys standing (like usual), and there are a couple others with him like Hamm and Potato Head, but it's definitely a different owner than Andy or Bonnie.

And for some reason ( Read more... )

Happy Mother's Day to all you mommies out there!

So yesterday wasn't a continuous parade of excitement, but I think it's been one of my best days in a while. I just lazed around the house, got ready for Mother's Day, and spent some quality time with the nephew and a pail of sidewalk chalk.

My nephew has taken to treating me very possessively. When my sister tries to take him away from me/keep him from playing with me, he says: "NO, MYYY Titi Ivy!" (Titi is pronounced 'teetee' and means 'auntie' in Spanish.) He takes me up to his mom's room and we play under his old crib, which he treats like a little house, or he bounces on his new ( Read more... )

Over the weekend, aflightoffancy and I went to the Waterford Fair, which was lots of fun, of course. We go to that one pretty much every year, so we had everything kind of mapped out already. It's kind of a given I go there for the food, since that's the place I pick up lamb sausages at every year. They had a lot of honey stands, but I already have honey at home ( Read more... )

In today's news, the power cut out and my alarm clock became nonfunctional. Fortunately, I seem to instinctively wake up at around 7:30AM-8:00AM, so the universe's attempts to make me late for work were foiled. Not that I'd mind. I think I really need a vacation. I haven't taken one all summer, and I'm definitely feeling it, at work and at home. I' ( Read more... )

So, Christmas was pretty good. I awoke at eight-thirty, which is ridiculously early to my standards of holiday sleeping. At around nine, Nicole woke up and turned on the radio downstairs to loud Christmas music in hopes of waking people up. That succeeded only in me coming downstairs, while the other inhabitants of the house continued doing their ( Read more... )

So, who is ready for 'this snow is fucking ridiculous: the picspam'?

I know I am.
