Catching some zzz's

I was exhausted at work today. My sleep habits are not the best, and I tend to get the worst sleep when I work the next day. Causing me to wake up at 6 am, to work a 9 hour shift. Yeah, not too bad. But sitting at a desk all day doesn't make it any easier to keep mis ojos open. Today was one of those tough days, finding myself constantly wishing I was in bed still, wrapped in my voluptuous feather comforter. Really, my bed is one of my favorite places on earth. And I love sleeping. So avoiding naps doesn't make it very easy.
Once 4 o'clock hit, I was outta there. I did my absolute best to keep mis ojos open on the drive home. And succeeded. Luckily. I rushed into my room, and changed into some more comfy clothes as fast as I could. . . and fell asleep. That was around 5. I set my alarm to 5:45 pm, knowing I had dance and a test to study for. Many calls and a few texts later, I find myself waking up around 8 pm. Hmm....no bueno.

I haven't taken a nap in a long time (about a week or two, really- thats a long time), because I love the feeling of being utterly exhausted at the end of the day and crashing in bed. When I nap, it is impossible to make it any less than 2 hours, and even though it is great to sleep, I always seem to feel worse afterwards. Normally resulting in me not getting to bed very early (like a nap really affects that, anyway).

I guess what I want to say is that I love taking naps. But I hate the after effects. Especially when they are taken so late into the day. I waste precious time I could have been doing something more productive, like have my nose stuck in my Anatomy and Physiology II book, preparing for a huge lab practical I have manana.

Yeah. . . Thats all.

Happy E

So, life is way stressful. All the time. And as with aging, it only gets worse. I took a huge test and got a ton of stuff outta the way that has been making me go loco. It feels niiiice. After class, I was able to visit one of my most favoritest (I know that's not a word) places in the world! I luffed every moment of it.

As I was making my way home, I passed QT and realized I needed to fill my gas tank. I'm pretty much stoked with how the price of gas has taken a dramatic downfall!! I just filled up for $2.79. I don't get why people aren't as excited about how the prices have dropped, as compared to the moaning and groaning when they rose. Nonetheless, I am ecsatatic about it! My wallet is loving it as well.

Also, I love being able to be on my computer and lay in my bed at the same time. Yes, today there is a very happy E :)

When the Sand Runs Out

I absolutely love Rascal Flatts. I think there are only 2 or 3 songs I don't like of their's. One song in particular has always come back to mind as I think of where I am, and where I want to be, and what good I've done. I've always wondered what nice things- if any- that people would have to say about me when its my time to go. Here are the lyrics to the song "When the Sand Runs Out":

I spent the morning at an old friend's grave
Flowers and Amazing Grace, he was a good man
He spent his whole life spinnin' his wheels
Never knowin' how the real thing feels
He never took a chance or took the time to dance
And I stood there thinking as I said goodbye
Today is the first day of the rest of my life

I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here

Go out on a ledge, with out any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah I wanna be runnin'
When the sand runs out

'Cause people do it everyday
Promise themselves they're gonna change
I've been there, but I'm changin' from the inside out

That was then and this is now
I'm a new man, yeah, I'm a brand new man
And when they carve my stone they'll write these words
"Here lies a man who lived life for all that its worth"

I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
Learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here

Go out on a ledge, with out any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah I wanna be runnin'
When the sand runs out

And as the cold wind blows across the graveyard
I think I hear the voice of my old friend whisper in my ear

I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
Learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here

Go out on a ledge, with out any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah I wanna be runnin'
When the sand runs out

New Medical Fact....

Two great Mondays in a row, this is fantastic!


So, I get these ridiculously sharp, painful headaches every so often. There's nothing I can do about it, and ibuprofen doesn't work. They don't ever last long, but come on in an instant. Anyways, I got a few this morning at work and told Lisa about them. She had a great idea for a remedy.


She said if I eat enough ice cream to get a headache, it would cause me to forget about the current headaches I get. In result, I'd replace the ridiculously sharp, painful headaches with a lesser headache due to an incredibly fast intake of freezing ice cream. She even offered to buy me the ice cream to try it, so I'm testing her theory.


So far its working super fantastically.

Thanks, Lisa :)
