Post #891

Yesterday I came home from church and decided I was not only tired but had a headache and felt generally unwell. So I stayed home from work. I went back to bed and was having many dreams of my upcoming trip to Alaska... including being at some sort of lodge with my nephew and other relatives, there were grills in front of the lodge, and I was waiting for lunch. In my real world, the phone rang and in my sleepiness, I answered it. It was my former boyfriend, and I sleepily told him I was dreaming about hot dogs. Hot dogs cooking on a grill and I was waiting for my bun to be just right... and then I realized how pornographic that sounded. He thought so too. Oh, in my dream those hot dogs just looked so good, I thought about them all day - in a purely food way. Not that hot dogs are pure food - and that is probably why I seldom, in reality, eat them.

I crossed a couple of lines yesterday on my blog. I deleted some of it. Some of it was comments on another's blog and I left them there, but apologized. And of course, the apology was used as another way to slam me.

You know what? I am really tired. My life is feeling a bit overwhelming. It is a good life, but I am tired. Tomorrow is my last day of school for this semester and I am really really really glad.

• I think that teaching is the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. (Scott, this is another of my friends malapropisms, "sort of speak.")
  
• My daughter is running wild and no one will let her take my granddaughters anymore... she goes crazy every February and March... I have no idea why.
  
• I am training for a marathon, which is physically and mentally beneficial, but tiring.
• Tonight I am taking my daughters out to the Ethiopian Restaurant for their birthday dinner - a first, I am not cooking - this makes me sad, but I have no choice right now.
• Work has turned into a perpetual nightmare and isn't expected to change much soon.

Thanks for listening. Phew. I feel better now.
