What a week – and it’s only Wednesday.<\/p>\n
First I had trouble sleeping at Mike’s Sunday night. It was rather warm in his place* so the body heat combined with some cold\/allergy symptoms didn’t provide me with much sleep. Then Monday evening’s class was rather dull.<\/p>\n
I’d hoped Tuesday would go better, but class night made me realize that Mark (Veselka Slut) and I have a lot of catching up to do to make our presentation better for next week. The first batch of students made their presentations – and they consisted of PowerPoint presentations and color handouts of reports. OH OH – 6 more days. Making matters worse, it seems Mark and I have completely different opinions as to how to solve the program we’re supposed to be addressing in our presentation.<\/p>\n
Then, Mike (after months and months of procrastination) promised that we’d order our plan tickets for Paris and London last night (we’re planning to leave a month from now). I’m not sure what was going on there because we finally connected with each other around 9PM – but despite repeated efforts on my part to purchase plane tickets (before energy issues raise prices even more) the night ended with no plane tickets being bought and me more frustrated then ever.<\/p>\n
Those cold\/allergy smptoms just got worse as the night went along. I’ve never had allergies before but I’m beginning to think I’m developing them now at 35 years of age. Lucky me. I could barely sleep because my head was stuffy and my nose was running (so I laid on my back). Breathing through my mouth caused my lips\/mouth to get dry and my throat to feel more sore.<\/p>\n
And now it’s Wednesday and it’s still raining. The forecast shows rain\/mist\/drizzle straight through until next week. Metaphorically, this is making me incapable of seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n
