Long Day
As the subject says its been a long day.
I did not sleep well. My mind was wound up on things and would not wind down and let me relax. I am stressed I guess. I think I went to bed around 10pm which would have given me 8 hours of sleep before I had to get up at 6am. Well it was a plan. I kept thinking, my mind wandering down many avenues, thoughts refusing to surrender to the bliss that is unconsciousness. I think I finally did get to sleep probably around midnight. Then I woke up to use bathroom and once again my mind began its cognitive cycling. I laid in bed lightly sleeping on and off (mostly off) til around 3am when I said fuck it and got up and busied myself with things for college. It was around 7:40am when I got out the door to college.
My first class is Medical Terminology which starts at 8:30am. In that class we discussed issues and terminology applied to Blood/Lymph and the various abnormalities and diagnostic procedures involved with it. Then we did a crossword puzzle involving the terminology (not easy).
Next comes a long break in which is from 9:30am thru 1pm. I went to pottery and talked to my old pottery professor and downloaded videos/mp3s and put on cd, all while showing him the best hardware for his pc’s. He is upgrading them and was needing guidance on which motherboard/cpu combos are best. I think I lined him up on that one.
Next is my Human Ecology class. I got my old test back to review there. I made a 112.8 (I got all 20 bonus points). I am quite happy. The first test I scored 110 and 2nd test I scored 112.8. So my average is well over 100. A score from 90-100 is considered the grade of “A” and is ranked as “Excellent”. So I am quite content with things. She covered today the different types of soil, various species of microrganisms necessary for plant function and quite a bit on antibiotic origins from those soil organisms. She mentioned Cyclosporin and how it was discovered from artic soils. I think thats fascinating. She always teaches the same way. You can tell she is a botanist and microbiologist at heart. I enjoy her classes very much. Much more so if I had eaten before the class. I never eat at college. First of all their food is just way to high in fat and salt. Its like a cardiologists worse nightmare. Not to mention its so pricey to eat there. Pay big bucks and get your arteries hardened and blood pressure raised and life span reduced ?
Well I came back home, I installed some software I dl’d at college. And listened to my mp3s. And laid down for a brief nap. Its to hot to nap. So I woke up and went outside. Its a wonderful day outside. Very warm, slightly breezy. Today is one of those days eveyrone is enjoying. Everywhere you turn people are outside enjoying the moment. They better as rain tonight and tomorrow.
I visited Dad, same old dad, every day the same small stories about neighbors dogs and how annoying they are. Poor guy spends his entire time with family bitching at something outside his realm of control. Every time I visit its always an argument not with me but over the same topic. And he just refuses to listen to reason. Its his only way of communicating I think. And he is so absent minded. I swear I hear the same stories over and over since my birth with him. I just can’t handle it. I mean its a beautiful day, and I want to be happy. I don’t want to listen to him and my brother bitch about grannies problems and the neighbors dogs. I just wanna lounge.
Lets see what else. Talked to Becky for a while. She is really sweet girl. Quite strong to handle things as she does. I appreciate talking to her. She really is positive person. She makes me cheer up.
Next Mark wanted to know if I wanted to go to the store with him. So I went. I picked up mostly cat products. Bathsheeba is eating like a horse and I think quite honestly shitting like one too. *sick of liter boxes* . I don’t like that about a cat. But I keep telling myself “wait till the kittens are ready”. I picked up 25lb (11kg) of kitty liter for a really cheap rate of $1.89 thats really incredible. And catfood for $1.49 for I think 4lb (2kg). She eats so much now, a little over 2 cups of food a day and she is skinny as a rail. I wish I had her rmetabolism.
I miss Elli. I have grown so used to her. I miss the long talks and the sharing. I long for better days. She fills an empty spot that nobody else could. I need someone to spoil rotten. Someone to baby. Someone to care for. I gather great happiness from interaction with her. She matters a great deal to me. And I feel the distance between us sometimes. Worlds apart and my soul wants to be there with her.
I think of her a great deal when I am not knee deep in things. My mind in its idle moments longs for her deeply. I am deeply in love with the lil girl.
Well I am going to hope and wait to see if we will get to chat tonight. That and watch something boring and stupid on the telly.
I love elli.
