Arg. I feel almost crippled. I just realized that I don’t have my notebook with me. I left it in my book bag at school. My notebook is my life… it’s my order. My taskmaster… how am I supposed to get anything done if I don’t have my notebook to write down my to-do list in? How could I have forgotten such an important aspect of my life?

 

In my head it’s like leaving my child unattended in a car in the middle of summer with the windows rolled up. I’m a terrible human being for abandoning my poor notebook.

 

I will make due with spare paper, but it won’t be the same. It will feel wrong and inferior until I bike to school and reunite with my lost love.

 

Ok… enough with the being overly dramatic. Still, it’s a dampener on my relatively late morning. I don’t know why I slept so long. I woke up several times during the morning, saw that it was bright and sunny, and proceed to roll over and go back to sleep. I didn’t get up until around 11. I just had breakfast and am working on my coffee. I had thought to begin writing my to-do list, which is when I noticed my grave transgression.

 

Shame, shame, shame.

 

Oh well. The only thing I can do is try to make due. I remember most of what I want to get done before lab. I’m sure I can figure out other things to do along the way.

 

Main points of the past few days:

 

Mom finally emailed me back. I’ve been trying to get in touch with her but she’s been super busy I guess. I’m going to be sending a box out to her later today and needed her new address. She sent it in the email along with saying we would catch up soon. Most likely tomorrow or Sunday since the weekend is going to be busy with Trevor moving out and me clearing out the storage unit.  Can’t wait. It’s going to be an expensive weekend too since I’ll need to get a pot set, trashcan, microwave, and dishware at a minimum. I’m hoping to find a fair amount of things at Goodwill. Thrift shopping and popping tags. What, what.

 

Anyway, I talked to a handful of friends on Facebook, catching up with them. That was pleasant. I have a few phone messages I need to listen to still. Most likely will be conversations that I need to follow up on. Social time. Whooo.

 

I still haven’t been called into a meeting about last month’s class so I don’t think there will be one.

 

Zane and I are in the process of building a new character for me. I wrote out part of her story yesterday and posted it. For only putting in roughly three hours of work I think it came out well. I don’t think I’ll get to writing more today, but eventually I hope to type out the rest of her back story.

 

I completely aced my portfolio class. Seriously, I got straight 100’s on my assignments. It was a pretty easy class though. I can’t image someone failing it, though I’m sure it happens often enough.

 

What else…

 

Zane and I had a pretty big fight. Two of them actually. It led to really involved, in depth conversations afterwards and I think we’re better off for them. I didn’t like the stress and anxiety, but I like the results of both of us being open and honest. So we’re good, better even. He’s agreed to start paying me  back more for the money he owes me.  That will help out a lot since part of my overall “unhappy” issue is not making as much progress on the card. And since I’m going to have to use the card for the purchases this weekend, the progress I have made is going to be swiped  out. It’s an annoying part of my reality right now. I don’t  have a date for when it’s going to be paid off and that’s disheartening and makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong even though I’m not. Blarg. Enough of dwelling on that.

 

Hannah is super extroverted. I knew she would be before she moved in.  It makes the mornings not as quiet sometimes, but overall I think everyone is adjusting well.

 

I wrote about the new cat. Still need to post pictures of her. She doesn’t hiss at everyone as much. She loves cuddling and being curled up on someone’s lap. Scarlet seems to be more ok with her now. I really do think it’s just a matter of time. Lots of new these past two weeks for everyone, what with John moving out, Hannah moving in, Trevor packing, the adoption of Haley… All of the things…

 

I had gator curry last night for dinner. That was interesting. First time I’ve ever eaten gator. I liked it, though Zane said it was a little over done which is why the meat was on the stiff side. Though I guess it’s supposed to have a texture similar to pork so no matter what it’s going to be stiffer than something like fish or chicken. We have a fair amount of left overs, so that will most likely be what I have for dinner tonight.

 

I completed all of the reading for my class this week and got a 100 on the quiz. I need to work on the exercise assignment today and then begin work on the project. This week it’s making a menu and magazine cover. I have to create both from scratch this time rather than using pre-assigned assets. I think it could be interesting. Maybe I’ll do a magazine for cats or something. Pets… I want to look at cute pictures while I work.

 

Pretty sure that’s most everything in a nutshell.

 

Guess I should go so I can figure out how to hobble through my day until I get to work.
