Sailor Soldier of Love and Justice

It took me 30 minutes to catch a train this morning. I'm only the 3rd stop on the line and the trains were packed. I don't even want to think of how bad it'll be if/when they start cutting service.

I had a lot of work to do today too. I can't waste my time standing on a train platform!

I ran through the day at full force. Then crashed around 3. I was totally out of energy. I ended up leaving a bit early. I wasn't going to be productive for the last 30 minutes anyway.

My dog was very happy to see me when I got home. We cuddled, then went for a long walk, then played fetch. Now we are back to cuddling. Also, she has a cookie. Life is pretty good for her right now.

I was going to exercise with wii fit, but I think I might try napping first. Even though I have rested for a bit, I'm still really tired from work. Plus I am very sore from exercising yesterday.

I started up the one hundred push up challenge again. I also started the two hundred sit up challenge. Both for the very vain reason that I want to look good in a bikini on my cruise. I wouldn't say I'm fat, but I do think my flab to muscle ratio is less than ideal. I'm not expecting miracles, but it would be nice if the exercise tones my tummy up a bit. And if not, at least I'm a little healthier and that's good too.

Ok. Short nap, then I attempt to exercise. I bet some yoga will stretch the pain out of the sore muscles too.

Wow, this was another crazy busy morning. Looks like that's the norm
here. I better get used to it fast.

I'm going to crash so very hard this afternoon. I woke up around 5:30
when ben got out of bed. He woke up super early because he went to bed
super early. I'm glad he woke me up though. I was having a gross dream
that I was fishing for a skunk. The skunk got angry and threw my hook
back at me. I ended up with a hook and a worm in my mouth! Yuck!

I woke up in a weird mood too. I decided I wanted to dress up today.
So now I'm sitting at my desk in that Hawaiian shirt dress I made a
few years back. I've already given up on my shoes. they are banished
under my desk. While walking to work, I fell off them 3 times. It was
embarrassing.

I need to organize my desk soon. It's starting to eat me.

Last night I ran around like crazy wrapping gifts and cleaning and trying to print things and baking. I stayed up for hours baking cupcakes, which I predictably forgot to bring with me to work today. :(

I'm starting to panic because I still have so much to do and so little time to do it in.

The apartment is still a mess. I NEED to clean it before I go. I don't want to leave dirty dishes and trash everywhere for a week. I'll get bugs.

And I need to do laundry because as of right now, I don't have enough clean clothes for a week.

After work I have to go shopping for ingredients to a bread I don't have time to bake. And I need tiny shampoos and stuff for my trip to syracuse. I also want to find something to eat while driving because road food is too expensive and I am broke.

Ben and I are both freaking out a little over money. We spent far too much this december. For that reason alone, I may hold off on buying a new printer even though ben found me a good one that's on sale.

*sigh* Can everything stop spinning for a second so I can figure out what's going on? I can't catch up!

Universe, slow down. I can't keep up!

After a busy day of work yesterday, ben drove us to the foodstore for key things and then home. Once home, I got to panic because I couldn't find my silver embroidery floss. I ended up having to drive to the craft store for more. And then panic again because I couldn't find any. Eventually I did find it, they put it in a weird place, and was able to go home and work on my parent's anniversary gift.

I did that for several hours while watching tv (Heros!) and eating bread. Went to bed early because I was exhausted. Still haven't remembered to pay dj or my bills. Such doom.

But in happy news, ben did my laundry for me. So I don't have to stink! Or, at least, my clothes doesn't. Wow, if I could just find 15 free minutes for a quick shower.... :( Slow down universe!

The universe continues to move faster than I can keep up.

Amanda came to visit. I didn't get off from work, so she had to sit around and wait all afternoon for me. I felt awful about it. And then I felt worse when I realized there was something I absolutely had to pick up from the store before I came home, so amanda had to wait even longer.

So we eventually got home to let her in. I was a spazzy mess but things worked out I guess. Amanda gave us a chocolate fountain as an anniversary gift. That was nice of her.

Then dinner. The first place we went to was too busy so we went someplace else. Then home and katamari and sleep.

The next day we went to the zoo. The baby panda was hiding in the trees. But the zoo got meerkats, which were all very cute. Afterwards, Amanda went to visit another friend while I took the metro home. (We planned it all out, dropping my car off at the station and then we drove in to the city together.)

On the metro I realized I missed the national book festival. Sadness. I completely forgot about it.

Completely exhausted, I still managed to roleplay that night. I played an ex-law student turned ghost catcher. I solved the case!

Sunday I tried to sleep late and then we started laundry and there was tv and video games and naps that I didn't want to take. I kept freaking out because ben seemed mad with everything I did, and I ended up crying to sleep. I spilled cinnamon all over the dryer. :(

Also, there is something really bad smelling in my fridge and I can't find it. Every day I throw something else out, but the smell remains.

And I have so many appointments I have to make and things I have to do. I should have taken care of it sunday but I was so tired and wanted a day to rest. Why does everyone happen all at once?
