i haven't been feeling like updating much lately.
i'm not in a rut, per se, but i've been feeling both braindead and emotionally spent lately.
i've been fairly good about keeping going as far as work, class and yoga go - in that i go, and do the best i can, but when i get home and slow down, i become entirely useless. and there are things that i need to be doing that i'm not.

i'm feeling like i've been a horrible roommate for the past month+; i've been leaving my crap around the common space, taking a few hours to do my dishes and have barely touched cleaning the common spaces.
and i don't mean any of it - i just get home and collapse with no energy to any of the things i need to do.
and there's personal projects on the same backburner, and doing that always leaves me feeling like less then a human.

class is ... interesting.
i still don't know how i feel about the professor.
while last night's class managed to keep me awake, there were no gems of new knowledge in it, and he didn't seem to touch on the readings at all.
he still read from a paper - which, again, was decent academic writing but less then stellar when spoken from in front of the class. and he kept saying 'we', referring to sociologists, but it kept sounding like the royal we.
to top it all off, he has the midterm and spring break dates reversed on the syllabus. i brought this up after class last week, and he said he'll talk about it this week. this week, as i was walking out the door, i heard someone else ask about it, and he came back with 'we talked about that last week'. ummm. no.

i gave tafkar a ride home on my way back; she's great to talk to, i just wish i'd had more then a quarter of my wits about me - in fact, i almost drove her to my house due to being on auto-pilot.

i figured out a couple of things last week.
one is how i managed to lose my registration - i totally forgot that i need to have it to get a new resident's sticker, and in seeing that, realized that i must've chucked mine when throwing out all the other crap they'd given me. $15 later, i'm waiting for my duplicate to arrive.
i'm also waiting for my tax refund to arrive - while i wasn't expecting as much as i'm getting, boy, can i use it - with march, i start a new cycle on my insurance, will need to pay at least $600 (and up to 1300) in tuition, buy a BM ticket and have enough left over to spend a week in prague at the end of the month. yeah.
the second is beyond silly - i finally realized that they way in which our thermostat is set has the house at 66 when i wake up in the mornings. yesterday, i reset it so that the heat will go on right before my alarm rings, keep the house at 68 until autumnsshadow goes to work, and then drop down to 66 until 5:30 and back down to 66 at 2am.
the result? i still hit snooze too much this morning, but getting up was definitely less painful.
apparently, i'd knocked off one of the three pillows on my bed the night before last, and last night, the kitty took advantage of the empty space and curled up on the exposed body pillow, next to the pillow + frog combo i was sleeping on... and my kitty sleeping next to me, and in a way that doesn't restrict my movements, is definitely a good thing.

overall, i'm just exceptionally tired of feeling tired.
i've been feeling like i'm fighting off a cold for like a month - i get minor sniffles and head & body aches just about every day, and every day feel like it might hit that night - only it never does.
i know i should exercise in the mornings, but i really can't succeed in making myself get up earlier : /
i should probably buy some ginseng and take that in the mornings. i'm just really fed up with this.

on the plus side, though, i've been very schmoop-filled lately. sol3 is just wonderful, and i can't believe it's been almost two years(!!!) i can still remember when we started to hang out, and how uncertain i was that he could like me; two years later and i'm in continuous shock that he still likes me : )
i'm incredibly excited for our anniversary weekend, too : )

I know how you feel. I've been half-sick like that for a few weeks too, except for that bout of stomach flu in there. This past week I've had a sore throat and aches every day. At least I'm doing better than Paul, who has bronchitis.
