Zzzzzzzzz...

I've been running ragged these past few days and I guess I hadn't realized how tired I was. I slept today until about 12:15pm. Now I feel like I have no muscles in my body. It's one of those afternoons when you sleep late, but it takes you about 4 hours to wake up, even though you've had a ton of sleep. Right now it is 2:50pm, and I feel like I'm pushing it to be ready for dinner at Las Brisas by 5:30. As Paul McCartney says, "Lawdy, Lawdy..."

paper chain.

I'm annoyed with how often I go to publish an entry, but I end up accidentally closing the window.

It's just been one of those weeks.

Tomorrow: Lunch with Sweetpea and Pa. Lauren comes to spend the weekend.

Perhaps when I get some rest this weekend, I'll have the energy to blog the thoughts that are running through my head. But for now, bedtime. 9am meeting with the boss that I can't be late for.

...at least I'm only a week away.



"But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night,
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led downtown.
An' I can't help it if I'm out of sight,
'Cause I'm restless tonight..."

changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes...

This weekend was the SGA retreat in Myrtle Beach, which I have to attend for my job. It's been rather enjoyable, if you overlook the vans not being requesitioned in time. Robert, Justine, and I left on Friday around 4pm to head up and make sure everything was in order for the rest of the groups arrival. Last night was just icebreakers and swimming in the ocean until 2am. ;-) It was good times. Today we had meetings this morning and then we've been at the beach all day.

The beach is an amazing thing to me. I am sitting here right now outside my room on the second floor of the building just relaxing and watching a lizard wriggle around out on the wood planks. I decided to come and sit outside because of the interesting weather phenomenon that takes place around the middle of September every year. When I returned from the beach and went into the room, it was actually cooler outside than it was in the room. There is a light breeze blowing and it has the slightly cooler bite that some breezes have around this time of year. Like I told Justine on the way back from the beach, I feel relaxed to the point of boarderline numbness. I love the beach for that...it's unique ability to be relaxing beyond the point of anything else in the world. I'm not sure if it's the sun, sand, water, or the smell of sunscreen, but I feel like I could just float through the rest of the day and night without a care in the world. It is a wonderful feeling.

DInner is in 30 minutes, so I suppose I should leave this disconnected haven here on the second floor and plug back into the the activities of the group. A shower is needed and perhaps also a tad of aloe on my face for the pinchy feeling from being out on the sand for a moment too long.

"Livin' for the weekend,
Jumpin' off the deep end,
With just enough money to buy,
A license to chill,
And I believe I will.."

here we go 'round again..

I think I will start one of these up again, since I have a computer, finally. We'll see how it goes. :)
