{{{ **phouka** }} Hang in there! > [@Sticks\_and\_Scones](#): > > Trying not to panic… I want to go first and get it over with. No, no, you never want to go first. First gets judged the most harshly. Third is good. Lunch provided by work. Italian stuff. One dish was full of olives so I didn’t try that. The other tasted really good even though the pasta was over done. And we had birthday cake and brownies. Yum! ---

The coals are hot and the packet of N.O.T.-n-onions are cooking - I hope… Burgers have been jazzed up a bit. Mushrooms-n-onions are cooking for my burger. Salad stuff will be sliced eventually. I think the ibuprofen is working, but I’m still tired. I expect I’ll sleep very well tonight. Daughter just called - she’s on her way. I knew you were worried… 😉 ---

Ask me how many of my to do items I have done now? The answer would be one item. 😃 But I am happy I got that one done plus a bunch of other random crap that needed doing. The other item can wait til Monday. Did I mention today is my Friday? ---

**Spaz** , that is so awesome, I put it on my FB page. I actually did that to myself when I visited Texas after living in CA for two years. I thought I’d walk on down to the local Target - not even half a mile away. I nearly died on the way back. Took me three hours, an icepack, and half a gallon of Gatorade to recover. ---

It seems like this has been a long week, although, I’m not sure exactly what I’ve been doing all the time. If I get a sub job tomorrow I’ll do it, but I really wouldn’t mind having the day off.\* \*And by day off I mean, day to do a bunch of other crap that I don’t get paid for. 😃 ---

Tomorrow will be busy, but Saturday I’m volunteering from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm at the [Wildlife Center](http://www.wildlifecenteroftexas.org/). I hear we got a baby beaver! We have been inundated with lots of babies, due to the storm we had recently. 150 babies in 72 hours!!! I’m sure I’ll find something to do. 😉 ---

Finally got my 2012/2013 financial aid information! It looks like I got enough to pay for all my tuition and health insurance but maybe not enough for books. I’m not sure yet. It depends on whether or not the health insurance goes up. The best part though is that I was approved for $1200/semester in work study which will give me just enough per week to pay for my gas to get to and from Storrs 5x a week! Now I just need to talk to my adviser and the Necropsy lab. I hope they haven’t changed their minds about taking me on. They said they would as long as I got the funding. I hope I can get my rabies vaccination before the fall semester starts because I’ll volunteer over the summer if I can. I applied for another job yesterday. I don’t have high aspirations; I applied at Ocean State Job Lot. But, all I want is enough money each week to pay for my textbooks at the end of the summer - just in case. ---

Now I’ve got to translate it into Hebrew and make it about Jerusalemites arriving in Tel Aviv 😛 {{{ **Phouka** }}} - just in general; Haven’t been posting much lately, but I’m sorta-kinda following in lurk mode, and yes, it’s heartbreaking. ☹ Oh, and just in case nobody has told you this yet – hell yeah, take the dog! 😃 Oh and everyone going on about Aquarium Sex – for shame! Do you think I would **ever** condone this kind of language if I were participating in earnest? 😉 Of course not – you can’t, logically, “condone” something of which you are a principal instigator! 😃 ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 66 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 84. Also, looks like it could be rainy over the next few days. We shall see. **Special1** it was the group shower that made you show up was it not? 😛 **shortdrum** yay for the work study. **Rebo** new baby aminals. AWWWWWW Now I need some more caffiene. I need brekkie too but I might just stop for a bizkit rather than wake up sleepin’ beauty snorin’ away in the bedroom. Really, if Sleepin’ Beauty or Snow White or whoever that was had been makin’ that much noise, Prince Charmin’ would not have come anywhere near her. 😃 Also, alas, irk purtification must commence.
