Holiday Blues

The food has been devoured, the pounds gained, the party had, and the checkbook in pain. I may have overdone it a bit, but I don't regret having the fun I had. Yet, the possibility of starting yet another semester (with so many things to be done and others that should have been done last semester or even last year) fills me with a lethargy that I didn't know I could achieve (I can barely stay awake lately!).

Plans are being made, life is changing, plans are changing, lives are being upheaved and replanted whereas others will have new roots where there were none before. Gee, could I get any cornier? May as well shoot me now, because I feel all a-whimsical on your butt, so deal with it.

My lights are bright, sitting in my pajamas with a tight feeling in my stomach, could be the thought of bills, the thought of my not having called back family members that had been leaving me messages all day yesterday (where was I?!) and I just didn't check my messages, or it could be the fact that I am about to begin another semester of teaching College Writing II and this time it will be more different - computer classroom. Whatever it is, I have been listless, migrainey, and tummy achey. Not a great combination. However, if I could just work on getting settled and have my things done by the end of this week - I should be good. I can begin tomorrow - everyone I know that would be distracting me from my work will be at their own jobs - what am I going to do?

Well, let me share.

First, I will call and leave hundreds of messages of apology to my family members. I did not look at messages and I know they were worried. /sigh
Second, I will work on my checkbook and look at my bills and make sure I am up to speed.
Next, I will clean up my room (not very messy, but moderate) and put things away so I can bring my office work home.
I will then go to my office in HS and grab what I need to begin planning my class.
I will also print out a reciept for my PS2 since it has begun to act up and is not playing any DVD's or various games.
I will then send the PS2 to the place it is supposed to go.
Then, maybe stop in the bank, grab a bite to eat (I like the Taco Bell Chalupas!) and get a car wash - I don't want it to rust.
Supposedly I will be home within a decent time and then begin to hunt down my paperwork that MUST be done before school starts so I won't feel wierd about it anymore ( I am severely late I think).
Then, I will order my books for class online and make sure I get them in time.
If I have time, i will look at RA paperwork for my floor activities and get a head start on those.

Then, cook dinner and hang out the rest of the night.

6 more days until Aspen and Jeremy get here! /bounce of eagerness
