I’m feeling a wee bit nervous. Exams coming up and all that for the next two weeks. And each day just gets me more and more glum (I hate being wait listed for medical schools). ---

Doin’ good, thanks. At work, I handed off the off-hours pager-- I won’t be on-call again until May 7th, yippee!. I finished doing my taxes an hour ago. I knew I had to pay; now the uncertainly is over. If I get the $600 “stimulus” check, I’ll be a happy camper. ---

I’m doing great, thank you. But then, I always do. Even on my few bad days, I think: “No matter how bad today is, I still get to wake up in Southeast Asia tomorrow.” Because it is never ever boring here. Plus in just about 2 1/2 weeks, we’ll be wandering around northern Thailand. 🙂 ---

Up and down. This morning was good. The omelet was fluffy, the asparagus turned out perfectly tender-crisp for once, and I finally figured out the foolproof sandtrap escape. Mid-day sucked big time. Hubby’s employer is suddenly engaging in a massive HR wankfest, I reread two sent emails and realized I was an off-topic surly bitch, Costco was a zoo _and_ out of generic benadryl. This afternoon has been just ducky. I found a GQ thread about downloading Youtube, the DVD player decided to work again, the iron is irrepairbly dead, but the little green carpetcleaner machine is not, and Greg the North Dakota Realtor is teetering on the verge of sainthood. Uhm, I mean, I’m well, thanks and you? ---

Today was OK I guess. Class went fine. Came home and played some videogames with my apartment-mates. Created a new level for that videogame which is pretty sweet. Then I met some friends for ice cream, but only one showed up, but it’s ok since they were more like acquaintances anyway. After that I went to karate practice, which was great because I haven’t been in a month or so. Now I’m staying up too late posting here. And tomorrow’s a Dope Fest! (sorry **tdn** ). ---

I’m in a good mood, just busy much of today with thoughts going a mile a minute (which makes me frown slightly, so I had folk ask if I was okay 'cause I looked sad or out of sorts). Generally feel good – just bone tired right now. ---

For some weird reason, I’m ridiculously tired today. So shitty day, in other words. :mad: ---

I randomly decided to quit smoking after 15 years and haven’t had a cigarette in three days, which in turn makes me feel like shooting a man in Reno just to watch him die. And I finally had to pay my taxes today, so there goes $200 in cash right out the window too. And you know what? I feel out-fucking-standing. ---

Not bad. I worked last night and didn’t get much sleep today, but I feel okay and tonight should be pretty soft, so that’s good. I’m seeing my best friend for the first time in ages Thursday, going to a family dinner Friday and hopefully to a party Saturday, containing plenty of intoxicated singles. I got a lot of editing done today, on a bit of writing I really like, and the illness whose blossoming I’ve been fearing seems to have disappeared. Yep, life is good. ---

I’m tired, I’m cranky, and I’ve got to finish a paper for school. I couldn’t get on line all weekend, (Dave, check your PM’s) I was sick yesterday, and I’m broke. Sucks to be me. **Cluricaun** , congrats on quitting, dude! Good on you!! ---

[QUOTE=Missy2U] **Cluricaun** , congrats on quitting, dude! Good on you!! [/QUOTE] Thanks dear! And it was totally out of the blue, just one of those things where I decided that the first step was not going to the store and buying more cigaretttes so I didn’t. And haven’t. And if I try reeeeealy hard I can not think about cigarettes for almost 10 whole seconds. But it’s going to work. ---

Bored mostly. I lost my job which is bad… Except that I hated that job anyway so that’s good… Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of companies hiring right now which is bad… Bud I have a good chance of getting hired by at least one of the two companies I interviewed which is good… Except they seem worse than my last job which is bad… And I have enough money that I don’t really need to work for a year if I don’t feel like it which is good… Except I got hit with a big tax burden this year which is bad… But I finally finished my taxes which is good… Which would have been done this weekend but my computer caught a virus which is bad… But I finally reinstalled most of the software which is good… Except for Quicken 2007 which I can’t remember if I owned the disk or stole a copy which is bad… So since it’s a nice day out, I will probably go to the post office, drop off my taxes, get some food and wander around by the water for a bit. Which actually is a lot better than sitting in a cubicle working for a bunch of jerks. ---
