Spring
Spring is creeping up. I can feel it brewing. I have a week and a half till our spring break...but honestly I just keep forgetting that it is even there at all. It seems like it should have come and gone by now. It is going to be one glorious dawning realization each and every one of those ten vacation days. Life is good.
Fast Forward Schedule
I have discovered a fascinating new diet that is working incredibly right now. It is called Sleeping-Through-Or-Simply-Skipping-Every-Meal-That-You-Possibly-Can. I have stumbled on this diet entirely by accident. I have had a very busy week...which has led to me missing most of my lunches and dinners. And because I have been staying up late to finish all of my work I have been sleeping in to the last possible moment (which happens to be 7:14am..please note that this is Trisha-alarm-clock-time which everyone knows is
actually more like 6:44am in the real world)and thus skipping breakfast. Because of this fast forward schedule I have been exhausted! Today, I decided to take a nap after school. I climbed in bed at 6:00pm (again in Trisha-alarm-clock-time) and I just got up moments ago. I vaguely remember the alarm that I set going off around 7:00pm but I just hit a couple of buttons on the alarm (which I thought, in my sleepiness, was resetting it for 8:00...but it looks like I reset the time and not the alarm) and silenced the thing. I have missed another meal and now I am surprisingly "awake." Don't worry though, I am sure that I will get sleepy again soon. I could sleep forever when I am in this hectic-schedule/missing-meals/quite-possibly-coming-down-with-strep-throat-time-of-life. The really great news is that now I will be able to get up really early tomorrow so that I can get right to work...I have so much that I want to get done this weekend....
Tag World Affair
Sorry for my absence I have been cheating on blogger by having a tag world affair. I have not had much time to spend blogging (more on that later) so any time that I have had was spent over at tag world. I am momentarily fascinated, but blogger will always be "home." It feels good to have spell check again!
All the Wrong Places
Ok...I have a problem...I am totally in love with coffee. I can go for days or weeks without it...but then I help myself to one dose of the stuff and I am a complete junkie. I am totally out of my mind crazy on this stuff. A couple of shots of espresso and I am incapable of making rational decisions. The edges of my perception blur and I find myself blissfully content and happy under any circumstances. If I were a super hero...coffee would be my weakness...my Achilles’ tendon...my undoing...my nemesis....But its not like it pains me. Rather, I cannot get enough of the stuff! It is like sleeping with the enemy. It kind of reminds me of Mr. and Mrs. Smith...I digress.
We all do stupid things. And I have wanted a tattoo for ages. But seriously, tattoo parlors should require a "cool down" period or something to keep those like me from being stupid. My only hesitation in getting a tattoo was that I wasn't sure what I wanted permanently imprinted on my body. Looks like the coffee really got to me. And you thought that I was joking when I said that this stuff is like completely intoxicating to me. I can't believe they serve this to people trying to sober them up!
The plus side is that I wasn't driving.
Happy to Report
Have you ever noticed how quiet life seems when everything is just going "fine?" Nothing too perfect, no huge tragedies, but a simple, comfortable routine that is manageable with just enough of a "challenge" to make it interesting. I am happy to report that I have settled into just such an existence.
I, for one, am really enjoying this calm and peace. I have been reading more. Talking less. Listening whole heartedly. I have even had time to watch TV (a lot of TV!) and play video games. Welcome to my world of luxury. I am basking in the fact that I have nothing much to say...because nothing in my world is all that earth shattering. I like it like that ....... for today.
