I have not been feeling myself lately.  Each morning, I wake up with a slightly stuffy nose and a sinus headache.  I think it might be allergies; where we live now is a lot more dense because of trees.  I’ve also been having a constant feeling of fatigue and upset stomach.  It’s not nausea, it just hurts and hurts. 

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m the type of person who hops online when I am worried about a particular symptom I have.  For instance, I was worried about PMS because well, let’s just put it this way - I’m a LOT bitchier than I normally am!  According to a few web sites I’ve found, this could be due to low progesterone levels in my body.  Honestly, though, I think it has to do with not getting enough sleep at night and being stressed about some issues that have been going on in my life lately.

Tonight I am going to get a really good night’s sleep and get a lot done tomorrow.  I’m determined to stop feeling so crappy!

Call me a nerd, a loser, or antisocial, but here’s how my ideal night goes: a glass of wine, my favorite music playing, and NO ONE ELSE AROUND. I’m in the computer room surfing and relaxing; Romeo’s peering over at me from his side of the desk. It’s peaceful and quiet and I’m in an awfully good mood. Tonight is a friend’s going away/birthday party, but I’m feeling like I’m starting to catch a cold, so I’m staying in (which is why I’m surprised I’m in such a good mood).

The past few days I have felt absolutely exhausted and I don’t know why.  I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary.  I guess my body really is trying to fight off the cold that hasn’t even begun yet.

I restarted my Sparkpeople weight loss information and printed out the grocery list so I can stick to the recommended meal plans.  That’s something I’ve never taken advantage of.  Most of what was on there seemed delicious, so I don’t think I’ll have a problem.  I also got reacquainted with the Normal Eating Support Group (here) because I’m trying desperately to stop my emotional eating habits.  Things with that are on the up-and-up.

Tomorrow morning I get to sit through two hours of a baptist service for my sign language class.  Hopefully it goes by fast.  I’m bummed that I have to get up early but I can always come home and take a nap.  It’s better than going to Jehovah’s Witness or the Pentecostal church (totally not knocking them, but personally, I can’t stand those services).

I’m going to go curl up with a book.  The thing is, I have no idea which book to read next.  Maybe the Shrink Yourself! book I bought awhile ago.

*Sigh* I’m bored today.  I woke up, got online, went through my dailes, email etc.  There’s really nothing to pack at this point (with the exception of the last minute stuff).  I just made muffins the other day and don’t want the sweets around because I WILL eat them.  Tom and I are going to play tennis tonight and will probably watch a movie or something after that.  I finished Deception Point and am onto a book written about a murder from back home (my mom had it and gave it to me because I studied the murder trial in high school).  I could’ve gone to work today, but bleh.  I kind of feel like I did a couple summers ago when I was depressed - not feeling like doing anything, bored, sad, and completely unmotivated to get stuff done.

I have been looking for yellow labrador puppies in our area on and off today.  We found a couple purebreds that the guy is offering, so we’ll probably drive down there tomorrow to check them out.  Who knows, maybe we’ll end up with a puppy :) He’s only got boys that are not currently neutered, but Tom’s mom is going to help us out with that.  It’ll be nice to have another addition to our little family!

I’m going to put some dishes away and see if I can’t find some packing that needs to get done around here.  Do you guys have any exciting plans for the weekend?

Tom is sound asleep on the couch.  Despite the fact that he and I slept until almost noon today, he’s been asleep for almost an hour.  I played some Zelda on Wii but got frustrated, which is why I’m here now.  I want to go upstairs and settle in for the night, but then again, I don’t.

I really didn’t do anything today.  Tom packed a box (all our DVDs, DVD player, and a few other items) and I used up the rest of our potatoes to make yummy french fries to eat during the baseball game that we were watching.  Oh yeah, and we puppy-sat for a couple hours.  I guess it’s just been a slow weekend.  We were invited to a friend’s house for ribs and stuff, but neither of us felt like showering and getting ready.  We’ve been spending a ton of time with this particular group of friends - don’t get me wrong, I love every minute of it - but sometimes it’s just nice to stay home.

Tomorrow, we’ve got grocery shopping, lots of laundry, homework, and beginning to figure out how I’m going to pay for another LSAT class.  Speaking of which, I didn’t do nearly as well as I wanted to.  Guess who will be sitting for the October 2008 exam?  Yes, that’s me.  I’m really okay with it though.  Well, I’m trying to be okay with it.  I don’t have much of a choice, right?  Right.

What a rambling, crazy post I just made.  Oh well.  I guess I have lots on my mind right now.  Not necessarily bad stuff, just…. lots to think about.

I can’t believe I made it through this week and last week unscathed. I could very well end up with 3 A’s and a B for this semester; all that work and site-ignoring paid off! When it comes to school, I’m always so motivated, and I’ve always been that way. Honestly, though, I am starting to feel a burn out coming, so the two week break before summer semester is welcomed.

Ever since I signed a lease for a 2/2 earlier in the week, I have been “mentally moved out” of my current apartment. I’ve mentally decided how my kitchen will be arranged, and can just picture coming home to Romeo and a puppy. By the way, a visitor asked what type of puppy we’re going to get. Tom has always wanted to get a yellow lab, and since this puppy is his college graduation present (from last August - it couldn’t happen any sooner because of our current apartment), he gets his wish. Plus, I’ve always wanted a big dog. I grew up with some shih tzus and a cocker spaniel, so a yellow lab will be different.

I don’t know how many of you follow my Twitter, but within a couple hours of taking my white collar crime final this morning, I was bored out of my mind. I didn’t want to read (been doing that ALL WEEK to an extreme). I played Mario Kart Wii for a total of four races and that didn’t cut it. I reformatted my mp3 player because it crapped out yesterday, which took a matter of minutes. Then I played with themes and decided on this one (isn’t it pretty? I love the colors). Romeo’s been sleeping all day and Tom doesn’t get back until a little later. Plus, I haven’t really been in the mood to hang out. I think I’m just so excited about moving out now that I actually KNOW where I’m going that I can’t stand to be in the apartment anymore.

Speaking of the apartment, it looks like a tornado came through here because I haven’t really had time to pick up. I try my best to make everything look nice (not perfect, just livable) before Tom comes home. That’s just an example of a trait that I got from my mom - my knack for cleanliness and organization!

Have a fabulous weekend!
