wakko101's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I need a nap. There are so many things on my mental “to do” list right now that rest, relaxation and sleep just aren’t making the cut. Normally, I wouldn’t consider them b-list activities (especially that dear friend I know as sleep), but what can I say? I’m in demand. Sigh. I know that I’m doing it to myself. That the exhaustion I’m feeling is directly correlated to not getting myself into bed at a decent time knowing that I have to leave said bed early the next morning. I also recognize that my unwillingness to let go of the meager but still happenin’ social life I’ve developed over time is another contributing factor. That I also happen to work one and a half jobs is probably not helping, either. All of these things are combining to make for one tired and slightly exasperated Lauren. To paraphrase a chubby but insightful Simpsons character: There is no emoticon to express what I am feeling right now. Sigh. I haven’t had a day off in almost three weeks, and it’s looking like another two before that happens. My apartment is a mess, I’ve got bills that I keep forgetting to pay and I haven’t made myself a home cooked meal in god knows how long (side note: not that that is really any big surprise since I’ve always maintained that I couldn’t cook my way out of a soggy bag of muffins). I’ve been making what I can only call “charitable donations” to the people at Goodlife gyms for weeks now, and I’ve officially had to put myself on a burger and fry ban to avoid the necessity of buying pants with an elastic waist. The only thing I’ve actually managed to start, do and finish is make a Halloween costume. So at least I’ve got something under my belt. Sigh. Two days until the weekend, two days until the weekend, two days until the weekend. Not that I don’t have to work, but I do get to sleep in. And that’s always something to look forward to. 4:43 p.m. - 2003-10-29 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
