Tonight . . .
Drinking Cabernet and watching Star Trek TNG; looking at plane ticket prices, wishing I had the money tonight because prices are good to visit SoeYun and Katrina.
Missing . . .
Friends. The kind you can just be with. I don't want to make new friends, even if I need to. I need friends to laugh with, to cry with, to drink with.
Appreciating . . .
My own thoughts. Challah bread. Cobalt blue. Lamps with colored lamp shades. Sleep.

Class is kicking my ass. Yes, that is correct a-s-s. Not because it is difficult or too much work, but because I want to scratch my eyes out every Monday night. I want to literally scratch out my eyeballs and throw them at my professor. I want to dance on my desk and scream because I am so bored and so tired. I got home last night at 9:45 completely exhausted, realizing that I had only drank a diet Pepsi and a bottle of Evian since 10 A.M. I had a horrid headache and I was famished. I ate a quick dinner and went to bed waiting for sleep to consume me. I didn't have to wait long.
I don't know how I made it through today. I don't know how I managed to supervise three computer testing sessions, teach students how to read a bus schedule of a city none of us have ever heard of, write a detention for a snotty girl, celebrate a coworker's birthday, attend a character meeting, volunteer to stay after school today to supervise a drama club, grade a set of book reports, plan lessons for The Phantom Tollbooth, and clean up messy tuna salad that spilled all over my lunch bag.
Today's stats:
2 Cups of coffee
2 Excedrin
2 Ibprofen
1 Diet Pepsi
1 Diet Dr. Pepper
1 Tuna/Spinach Salad
1 Blue Bunny Key Lime Pie Yogurt
1 30 minute nap
0 Moments to breathe until now.
