Well, today was about as crappy as expected. 
I mean, it wasn’t people-throwing-rotten-fruit-at-me bad…just tiring and blech. It had some good points;
-my classmate refused to believe that I am anywhere near the age of 27. She insists that she thought I might be younger than her (she’s almost 18).
-I finally got an AIP sweatshirt…warm cozy charcoal grey hoodie and I can now represent. And it’s all soft and fuzzy and new-sweatshirty inside.
-had irish-y comfort food…this is actually in the neutral category…we went to this place in the Works called the Claddagh (http://www.claddaghirishpubs.com/index.php) and the food was yummy, but not so much irish traditional as a franchise attempting irish traditional. But their corned beef and cabbage rolls…like, an irish egg roll, stuffed with corned beef, cabbage and cheese or something, wrapped in stuff and deep fried. TOTALLY yummy. On the other hand, their ‘loaded chips’ had what I am relatively sure was Velveta on them.
Now the less than good points;
-I got about 4 hours of sleep, maybe 4 and a half, then had to get up for school. I should have gone to bed at 10, but I hadn’t even finished working on my homework by then and still had clothes in the dryer. Anyway, I was frickin’ pooped today.
-It was really cold today.
-I’m worried about my cat…I don’t know if she’s sick or just really stressed, and if she’s stressed, I don’t know if she’s going to get over it, but she’s actually lost weight. I mean, she had some to spare and all, but that still worries me. I think she’s just too stressed to eat. And for her that’s really stressed. Either that or she’s sick, which is also bad. We are keeping an eye on her but we are both worried…it is this underlying nagging in the back of my head most of the day, and when I’m home I spend too much time trying to get her to come out and socialize or eat or be happy, just trying to force love into her…I think it only irritates her more, though. And as Nova becomes MORE comfortable and friendly, I find myself resenting her and then feel guilty for not giving her more love and snapping at her when she gets too close to Mercury’s hiding spot. I am very stressed out by this situation.
-I have a butt-load of homework to do, some of which I got done in the 2 and a half hours I had to wait for my shift to start, but I’m feeling stressed.
-After getting dragged down to JB for the Rooney event, rather than having me work to close, they let me leave after. Nice of them and all, but that meant waiting for a bloody bus, taking it downtown, getting off, walking a couple of blocks and then waiting for ANOTHER bus. And did I mention that it was cold today? If I HAD know ahead of time, I could have at least been prepared, but I had understood they were keeping me until closing.
-I’m tired and cranky.
-I lost a button on my new coat. It was threatening, but I hadn’t had time to secure it, and today I lost it…and I mean, I heard it fall off, and looked around the dark street for a couple minutes, but I couldn’t find it anywhere.
-I’m tired of having no free time and getting no exercise…but every day I work or go to school or lock myself inside and do homework, and catch up on dishes and laundry. Last Saturday was SO beautiful…I wanted nothing but to go for a hike in Frick park. I like my job but I really didn’t want to go that day.
-I’m cold. I think I need to turn up the heater.
