Got up at 4am and flew halfway home. Waiting for the next leg of the journey. Airports are boring.

A mild hangover, lost keys (found in panic), key stuck in lock of door at my training room, and spilled coffee did NOT keep me from completing my Saturday morning class on time and with giggling, happy trainees.

*pats herself on the back*

Another Sunday...

• coffee for me, tea for Rooster and bagels for both
• feed and water critters
• clean gutters (tons of sand and pine needles....yick)
• dip in the pool with Skye the water dog
• farmers market for fresh veggies and fruit
• BJ's for the bulk items and deli meat for the school week
• quick lunch of roast beef and swiss on kaiser rolls, with red seedless grapes
• unloaded and reloaded dishwasher
• cleaned kitchen
• cleaned and adjusted chemicals in the pool
• watered orchids....two beautiful new blooms this week
• yummy dinner of beef stirfry with lots of veggies
• relaxing now and considering a little kahlua and cream :)

I got a day off all i had to do was load up the firewood for tonite and dump the pee bucket and change the dish water and cook 3 meals for mom and me and feed my puppycats and well thats about it.. but tomorrow its back to work .. finish the loft walls in the barn and cut and split more firewood and the daily choirs

Not all today, but in the last few days I have...

• replaced the inner workings of a toilet....which didn't go as easily as usual and resulted in an hour-long wrestling match with a wrench
• mowed the back yard
• cleaned the gutters....many, many trips up and down a ladder and little cuts on my hands from the metal edges
• mowed the front yard....including fighting with a clogged and stalling mower

...and of course all the usual, work, getting Rooster to school, taking care of animals, taking care of the house, making meals, shopping....

I am freaking exhausted....my wrists are throbbing from carpal tunnel...and I can't decide if I need an advil, a nap or a massage. :seeingstars:

...maybe all of the above.

Very little of what I needed to do

I went to the Chiropractor,
Sent out 4 resumes to jobs in the city I want to move to,
Sent out two resumes to jobs here (don't ask me why),
updated my info on the NaNoWriMo site,
Made 2 new resumes to use for different types of jobs,
Did updates on my two FB pages,
Skyped with both of my granddaughters,
Did laundry,
Made some decisions,
and played with the dogs.

I would say a very productive day so far.

- Completed a 9-hour shift without wanting to kill someone at the end of it

- Put a cashier in her place after she, playfully, swore at me.. I have decided, as her supervisor, that just will not fly anymore. Customers have free reign, I will not have my cashier tell me to "get the fuck on it" after I have moved lunches and swapped people to not only give her a 6 o'clock lunch but to get her moved to the front end from the lumber area. I work with everyone - if schedules allow it, I will move them where they prefer - but some really seem to have the mindset that they are owned it. It's my shift, STFU or GTFO.

- Bought Christmas cards. Yes, I am getting on that hella earlier. With work, school and home projects, I feel like I have zero free time anymore. I really hate being a grown up sometimes.

- Posted to my English class, both a response to a discussion and a response to a classmate. Still got more to do.. and another essay to start cracking on. Good goddess I HATE essays. WTF was I thinking? I may just not enroll next semester solely to have a freaking BREAK. It sounds like a good idea to me.. Really thinking in hindsight I should have taken a break this semester like I planned.. Or taken a class or two.. not three.

I worked on items related to my worksearch today from home:

- entered in line item data on a matrix form
- made several phone calls to potential employers
- talked with my brother for a bit this afternoon
- scheduled a dental visit to get some dental work done
- cleaned the kitchen and bathroom today, too
- washed all the windows in the house
- and visited with friends here in our online community!

Well,,,,

Today is not over with, but I have made progress:

-- Got up early and went grocery shopping.

-- I made an important decision today.

-- I feel good about having done exactly that (see above).

-- I was going to go to town this afternoon but since I have to be in several places tomorrow (interviews), I will hold off until tomorrow.

-- Up next: Trim my hair just a tiny bit and take a very long bath (wanna be looking my best for interviews, tomorrow). :)

Accomplishments....
 

Ordered three new movies for me and my son to watch:

The Birds (Original Alfred Hitchcock)
TCM Science Fiction collection (With original Time Machine and Soylent Green)
Universal Classic Horror Collection

So we are set for our Halloween movie weekend!

AND got my stats homework done!

Feeling pretty chipper :)

Posted three reply posts in one essay of three, posted a starter in my second of three essays, and posted my thesis statement for my English paper as well as responded to three other thesis statements. I am on a friggin ball :|

Had a wonderful day with Teddy.....and a nice dinner with my family <3

I accomplished lots, and lots, and lots of homework. I have impressed myself, LOL :blush:

However, this means tomorrow is now a free for all day! No worries! Hakuna matata! Woo!

I finally got 'into' homework around 9:15. By 10, I finished a chapter in one accounting class. Started a chapter in math class, and 2 hours later, I've read the chapter, taken notes, and done 80 of the approximately 150 exercises.

I declared it bedtime. I've been up since 5, with only 5 hours sleep.

Nowhere near the amount I needed to do, but a decent chunk for the time frame.
