Saturday Blog 16032024

I was able to sleep until 6am. I tried going back to sleep a few times but wasn’t really successful. My sister kept coming into my room to ask me questions. Then she came in when I got up and I was on my laptop telling me to go downstairs as my other sister needed to go out and some guy was coming. I went downstairs, not even brushing my teeth or having a cup of coffee. She told me what she wanted to have done. She said the guy would be here in like two hours so she went to do what she needed to do and I went back upstairs. I brushed my teeth and then had coffee.

I thought about going to Starbucks to do my psych work but it was like 1pm and I knew the chances of getting a seat on a Saturday that late were slim to none from past experience. I worked on my Anthro paper and then decided to go grocery shopping. I didn’t save it. When I came home after shopping, I had trouble opening my laptop. It wouldn’t bring me to the log in screen. I waited and waited for like 10 mins and then did a reboot. The reboot took like 20 mins and I thought my laptop was dead because after I logged in, I just got a blank screen instead of my desktop screen. I was in panic mode because if I lost what I wrote for this fucking paper, I would lose my shit. I patiently waited and then I saw my desktop pic. Everything loaded. I breathed a sigh of relief. I immediately loaded Word to see if it autosaved my document and it did. I was saved.

My editor sent me a message yesterday. It was about my remaining balance, which she said I could pay anytime. I sent a reply today asking her for guidance on summarizing my book for the back page. I just have one line. One meansley sentence. I am so bad at it. I think my first book had like two sentences.

I am pretty tired after being up all day. I am going to try and type up my notes for the observation assignment for Anthro. I hate this class. I watch a documentary about pigs last night for this class. I still don’t know where to look up these vocab words for the exam. I am totally lost. I’m still waiting for exam 1 results. Hopefully he will put them in next week.

I watched the ERAS tour last night and then I couldn’t sleep until 630/7 this morning. I slept on and off until 4pm. I got up and brushed my teeth. Made coffee and a PB&J. My niece was making potato skins so I decided to make smiley fries.

I’m going to try and do my anthro readings. Sox are playing at 6 so I will listen to the game. I am tired and despite having two cups of coffee, feel like I can go back to sleep.

My editor gave me an invoice on the remaining payment I owe her. I don’t get paid for another two weeks or so. I haven’t looked at the edits. I know if I do, my schoolwork isn’t going to get done. I emailed one of the TAs to get some help in understanding some of the concepts in chap 5 in psych. Tomorrow will be psych day. I’m going to go to Starbucks and just spend a couple hours reading and taking notes.

August and everything after

Since yesterday, I have been listening to the Counting Crows, August and everything after album. My friend posted lyrics from one of the songs and I had to listen. Now I am stuck listening to them. I can’t stop. Such a good album.

I did my observation assignment today. Now I just got to type it up. I wrote a page worth of notes. That with my questions/proposal should hopefully be around 800 words. I think the minimum was 750. I am going to have someone read it before I post it on the site.

It took a LOT for me to get out of bed today. I had a hard time sleeping last, again. I am so tired. I got up to pee and then just went back to bed. I think I had coffee before taking my meds. I honestly don’t remember the morning but the dreams I had were so fucking weird and gave me headaches, which just made me want to stay in bed. I knew I had to do my assignment today or it just wasn’t going to get done. I took my time getting ready, though. I had a bologna sandwich and coffee before leaving the house. I tried the new lavender latte and didn’t like it at all. I think the lavender would be a good tea though, not a coffee.

I came home and was tired. I wanted to get some burgers but was too lazy to walk to the butcher shop and back. I might go tomorrow after I meet with my friend. She is coming to Boston to meet me. She is bringing her doggie. I can’t wait to meet him. I just hope the rain holds off. It is still at like 50% right now. The temps are supposed to be in the 50s so it should be nice if the rain holds off.

I don’t think since this morning. I think I had two cups of coffee and half a one at Starbucks. I drank half a Gatorade when I came home. I have no urge to pee. I always get worried when it has been more than six hours since my last void. I need to wash out my water bottle before refilling it. There wasn’t much in there, maybe a couple of ounces. I haven’t had to cath in over a year and I want to keep it that way. Only trouble is I don’t quite remember when I got up to pee, if it was 9 or 11. I hate having to keep track of these things. At least my loose bowels have stopped. I didn’t take the senna or magnesium last night and didn’t tonight either because I will be going out tomorrow and I don’t want to have to rush to find a bathroom.

I need to see the TA for my psych class because there are some concepts I am not understanding that will be on the exam. I did so poorly on the quiz I am worried. I still am two chapters behind. I don’t know when I will read the book as I still haven’t read the Anthro stuff and I am behind on those readings, too. I am just overwhelmed right now and this bout of insomnia is not helping as I feel like shit in the morning.
