The Humming Bird (overcafeinated edition)

Whoa.

So, I had a pretty awsome weekend. Lots of work, lots of running around, and lots of time spent with Nathan. I actually spent the majority of the weekend at his new house, which is beautiful (with the exception of the "Happy Room", which is a bit too technicolour for my liking).

Today, however, I realized (thanks to a little Sarah-bird) that I haven't been spending nearly enough time with my other friends. Not to mention that already my readings are piling up, and little things are again falling by the wayside. I'm going to have to start seriously budgeting my time. For real, this time. I mean, it's bad enough that I feel like I haven't been home in weeks, but I've missed out on Magic gatherings, I'm becoming a ghost to Vanessa, and Sarah nearly shot me when I told her I was going out of town next weekend (Nathan and I are going to Chisolm to meet his father). Plus work is insane, what with the money issues and lack of staffing, and I have my own projects, like this blog and my writing, that have taken a boot to the head. And I haven't talked to mom in over a week. That's just sad!

Therefore, today, I'm going to get at least 2 small projects and tomorrow's reading out of the way, and maybe jump on another project and some journal entries. Pieces at a time is the only way I'm going to get this done, even if it means a few pre-emptive all nighters.

Today's main tasks:

1. Article for Hibou
2. Answers to PSL heterosexuality page
3. readings for PSL
4. Journal entries: Romance
5. Readings: Romance (there are like, 10 that I haven't done yet...)

Tomorrow is Home-Work day, but it's being cut short: Nathan is taking me shopping at 6pm. I highly, HIGHLY doubt that it will run the whole night or anything, so I should be able to get the following done:

**I need to cancel my Dr.'s appt. I tried to do that just now, but low and behold, the Campus health centre doesn't have an answering machine! I I have to be at the school for about 9am to cancel and re-book my appointment. Boo-urns.

1. more laundry (I need to wash my sheets)
2. More Romance Readings
3. Kid Lit Readings/presentation
4. Journal Entries: Kid Lit
5. Readings for Drama

I want to look ahead and figure out what else needs to be done, but I'm afraid to. I may have an anurism. I know I have massive readings to do, and I know I have monumental projects to work on, and I'm almost certain that I'm forgetting something, but this will have to do. One person can only do so much.

Lastly, a big hug to Josh, who is acting as my TiVo, and downloading all my favorite shows so I don't miss anything. What a sweetie! And also to Mike, for not yet chasing me for rent money, and for the phrase: "This too shall pass".

Story of my Life...

*inserts "Flight of the Bumblebee" CD and hits play* GO LACY GO!

Alright, now that you have a soundtrack to go along with your hectic life just remeber to zen! And if ever you need a place to just crash between work/school/Nathan/whatever.... I now have a futon, AND two extra beds.... and you are welcome to all three...For those days when you just don't think that the bus ride/car ride home is going to happen until you catch at least a nap! And the three of us do not mind having company over at any time.

Love you, and try to stay sane! We need a whole Lacy this year too!
