[unnecessary whingeing]Everything was going okay until I got to Human Sexuality and the girl who sat down next to me positively *reeked* of cigarette smoke. Which I'm allergic to(it makes my migraines worse).
I made it through about a half hour, but then I had to get up and leave. It made me mad, because I'm really enjoying the class otherwise, and I missed it on Thursday because I went out of town. And now I'm in pain. And they're cutting the grass today, so I came back to my room to find it smelling faintly of gasoline.[/unnecessary whingeing]

Not unnecessary whingeing in MY books - I loathe the stench of dead cigarettes as well! I woulda puked in her lap & if she objected I'd've said 'if I gotta put up with your dirty ashtray stink, you can put up with my technicolour yawn!' Loathe smoking & smokers - I dumped a guy once cos his smoking turned me off! Ban the lot of 'em!

I'm the same with people who don't use deodorant - BO stench makes me dry-retch! I would refuse them entry into any place until they bathed & deodorised!

Well, thank you for justifying my whingeing. I came back to my dorm and complained to one of my friends and she complained with me. And then we complained about body odor too. Oh well, C'est la vie(did I spell that right? I take spanish...).

Oui.

I am very hungry, and am eyeing the lone valentine cupcake that my co-workers left for me. Hrm. . .

Yesterday was recuperation day from unexpectedly traveling to south Florida over the weekend for the funeral of a good friend's mother. Today, we are back in to routine. It feels good, and yet...

I dunno. Maybe mid-life crises is setting in...

Care to elaborate?

Went home last night, had dinner, took Nyquil and was in bed by 9pm. I didn't exactly sleep through 'til 6am, but every time I woke up, I forced myself to go back to sleep, until the alarm went off. Feeling much better today. Altho my nose is still drippy. Wondering whether it's a sinus infection, blargh. I'm giving it 'til the end of this week -- if it's not better by Friday (three weeks from the onset), I'll make a doctor appointment.

I don't really know, ali.
Perhaps it was a friend, who is 13 years older than I am, losing her mother, who treated me with kindness for as long as I've known her (37 years), when I lost my own so young and so long ago.
Perhaps it was something as simple as breaking our routine for the weekend.
I just feel...
...melancholy, I guess.

Well, it's understandable that you'd feel melancholy after attending a funeral for a friend's mother. I believe the technical term is "grief".

I'm still freaked-I thought it would be fun to taken my daughter on a walk to McDonalds for a snack, then she insists on going up the tubes and slides indoor playground. Of course she gets in a far as one can possibly go and refuses to come down the slide and, finally, starts to cry. Daddy to the rescue! I had to overcome my clastrophobia and wade through old chicken McNuggets (and probably dried pee) grab her and pray to gods I didn't get stuck in the slide. Whew! It's dam hot in that contraption---never again!

A shame you have claustrophobia. I always enjoyed going in there with my kids. Yeah, despite snotty little comments by the little brats we'd find in there!
"Grownups aren't supposed to be in here!"
"What makes you think I'm grown up?"
"You're big."
"Yeah, like that's all it takes to be a grownup!"

So true!! reminds me of an email I got with a cartoon of an old lady saying
"If you haven't grown up by the time you're 50, YOU DON'T HAVE TO!"

I managed to download Ep1 and watch it last night before Ep2 was on. Yes, he doesn't wear his shirt much eh!

...but I admit I have a thing for...gosh...I've forgotten his name. The dude that's been hanging out with Loch (one of The Others). Sexy as: looks like he's wearing dark eyeliner. He can come over to my place for breakfast anytime!

I am annoyed at myself. I seem to have gotten myself into a vicious cycle in which I am unable (or at least lack the willpower) to do anything that I need to do (such as homework) until 2am, then I spend maybe three hours doing what I should have been doing for the previous seven, and then I get only three or four hours of sleep (and whatever work I've completed is really shoddy). Why am I doing this to myself???
