Running on Empty

I am rapidly running out of food items in my apartment.

This might be due to the fact that I haven't done any actual grocery shopping in about a month or so...but it could also be gremlins.

I've been slowly using up the items that I have on hand, and I am now to the point where I probably have to break down and go shopping (insert groan here...).

Fare Thee Well

I have finally passed my accounting final!

Third time was apparently the charm for this beast...seriously, I will not miss this class.

Unfortunately, I do still have one final task (project) to complete for my other accounting class...hopefully I can figure out how to do it (and do it right) by the end of the month.

I will not be sorry to bid these classes adieu at long last!

'Cuz that's not the least bit creepy...

It's no surprise that I have been exhausted lately (after all, I DO keep whining about it on this here blog...)

But it is a bit crazy to me just how quickly I can fall asleep these days.

I went over to Bruce's place after I got home from Utah today, and while we waited for the next session of General Conference to start, we put on an episode of "House".  And (according to Bruce), not 2 minutes went by before I was out like a light (I like to think that I was awake a bit longer than 2 minutes, but I digress...).  Apparently he had been talking to me, and he discovered I was asleep when I didn't respond to him.

The only downside to my sleeping is that I still get frequent nightmares.  I have had nightmares pretty regularly all of my life, some of them are recurring and I've had the same ones off and on since childhood, and others are just random, but most of them involve me trying to evade one or more individuals who are attempting to attack/kill me (pleasant, I know), and I have varying degrees of success.

Today's nightmare was no exception...much running, hiding, sleuthing and sneaking, but in the end, I couldn't get away.  I generally always wake up before I actually die in my dreams, but often not before a fatal blow is struck.  I think I have a seriously screwed up subconscious.

Les Miserables

Kelly and I are currently sitting at intermission at Hale Centre Theatre in Utah.

It is seriously the best performance of this show that I have seen...and I've seen it a fair few times.

Certain parts make my heart go pitter-pat.

Just sayin'

Throw me a line?

I've been feeling overloaded recently.

I'm hoping that if I can catch up on some sleep that I'll feel more able to tackle things without feeling like I'm drowning.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

How many hands do I need?

Sometimes I think my life resembles a sitcom.

Today for instance...

There was a perfect moment this morning that would have made for an ideal photo-op.  I was sitting at my desk (in my pajamas), working on a student's evaluation, then I got a phone call...had to put myself on mute while I turned in my chair to attend to SC who was fussing in his bouncy chair, then got an IM at that exact same moment from my supervisor asking me if I could fill in for him today since he is sick.

Moments like that make me laugh (ironic laughter, but laughter is laughter...).

Here's to starting the month with a bang!

Only a Fool

It's days like these that I am glad I work from home...alone...away from society...and its pranks.

I always forget that some people actually get into April Fool's Day.  People post their fake engagements, fake articles, and various shenanigans on this day, and I think what amazes me most is the number of people who fall for it. Every. Year.

Really?  Even if these engagements and other things are real, it's in your best interest to not believe it until the 1st of April has come and gone.  And if you DO actually get engaged on April 1st...you probably shouldn't announce it til the 2nd anyway, you'll just get people accusing you of lying all day long.

I will say that I am glad my hermit tendencies allow me to avoid having April Fool's pranks played on me.
