May. 21st, 2003 08:50 pmmy week on livejournal would not be complete unless i vented about a few things that were bugging me. so here i go.
*today i twisted my ankle. i think i have a sprain. not a bad one, but walking sucks. i am definitely wearing my combat boots in favor of sneakers tomorrow---better ankle support.
*most of the liquid i drink becomes sweat during the day. because of all the walking i've been doing, i can't stay dry in anything after the temperature rises above 76 or so. humidity blows. i also look like complete crap come summertime, because i get really sweaty and pink and can't wear any of my nice clothes because they STICK TO MY SKIN and make me suffocate. so i'm like a sweaty ragdoll, and not in an attractive way. i'm definitely avoiding manray tonight.
*i can't seem to leave lab early enough to walk to the train at a reasonable pace. i always find myself booking it and then tempting an asthma attack trying to get there on time. today i went nuts because i slipped on wet grass and heard my ankle make a wierd crackling sound....then i got to book it to the stop LIMPING! AWESOME!!!
*my job is great. however, i find myself getting tired and sluggish early in the day. maybe it's because i'm not in my own place yet, and i spent so much time out of work that i'm not really adjusted to the early-waking schedule? whatever it is i hope it changes soon.
*despite the general calm i've been feeling, i am still kind of lonely. i really hope i can meet up with someone this weekend for coffee. and there's that massage party at vicka's which i'll be present for by default. other than that, i'm going to sleep the entire weekend away, i think.
on the other hand, there are some good things happening. i went to goodwill today after work and got a Spam shirt, a CIA shirt, and a pretty floral skirt that's actually comfortable for hot weather. and tomorrow's thursday.
oh, and i also found out today that we get our paychecks WEEKLY at Brandeis. as opposed to biweekly. this means bills will be much easier to manage. not to mention, they are available in the bio office (NOT automatically sent to our HOUSE which is IDIOTIC) by Friday morning. i am happy with this.
bedtime is close at hand. this old lady needs her rest.
