Cold and Rainy

I am pretty grumpy at the moment. I am exhausted from last weekend (we went to a birthday party), I'm still dealing with the fact that my grandfather just died, I have to return money to work when I go to work tonight (apparently they gave me too much tip-out last Friday), paying back school loans, and it's cold and gross outside.

To help with this funk, I'm making a list of things for which I'm thankful:
- friends and family
- our cat
- space heaters
- understanding professors
- LUSH products
- our new alarm system
- bagel bites

That is a very tiny list - but they are the first things that come to mind. So there.

The FLU - Muwhahahahaha

Ummmk. Let's just say that I got my flu shot (free because I'm a nursing student!) yesterday, and my arm STILL F-ING HURTS. Like, to the point where I raise my arm and I wince. SHEESH.

On the whole "illness" note, I have to go to the doctor today. =( I woke up AGAIN with post-nasal drip and a sore throat. It's been about two weeks since this whole gross sinus thing started, and I'm finally giving in. You would think as a nursing student I might be little more inclined to go to the doctor when my sinuses are stuffed with green goop - but my doctor is downtown ... and it's a pain in the ass to get to. BUT, I'm giving in and going. Meh.

Hmm. On another note, I'm cleaning the house today - because it's GROSS and was neglected while I was studying for my test last week and while we were at Homecoming last weekend. So far I've vacuumed, done laundry, organized clean laundry, run the dishwasher, pulled out the Halloween decorations and hung a picture. Whew. More to come later - for now I'm going to fold MORE laundry and watch Monday's Gossip Girl!

Case of the ... Fridays?

I think a case of the Fridays happens when you're hung over from drinking on a Thursday night. To try and ward them odd, I'm going to try and list some things that I am THANKFUL for right now, because I am more pissed off this morning than hung over. Meh.

• I am thankful my cat is adorable, and likes to sleep on my head (I just wish he'd SHUT UP in the morning when he ALREADY HAS FOOD. SHEESH CAT SHUTTUP.)
• I am thankful I have a computer, even though I am currently stealing my internet from someone in the building since I have NO CLUE what happened to our wireless.
• I am thankful I have legs, and that M has legs, for a few reasons really - so that M has pants (even though they need to be hemmed) and so that I can run after his car this morning (in my robe, like a crazy) with the aforementioned pants in my hands.
• I'm thankful my mom came down and stayed with us the other day - and cleaned our place from head to toe - even though she unplugged the coffee maker and we have to reset it...with it's wonky-won't-work button.
  
• I am thankful I have a job in these nutty-ass times - even though that job makes me work when ALL of my friends are NOT working, and so I have to make friends with the peeps that WORK at the restaurant...who aren't bad people, they just have different kinds of LIVES...and get excited about SERVING FOOD (management) or act like dicks (certain managers...and servers...)
• Lastly, I am thankful I have time to volunteer. I can learn about the hospital and patient care in a small way... but let's just be honest. I'm tired and it's 8:30 a.m. on a Friday and I DON'T WANT TO GO.

Sigh. Sorry for being a whiny bee-yotch. But, sometimes you just gotta throw it all out there, even if it's ugly and awful and inconsiderate and mean and ungrateful.

Because hey, we all get a case of the Fridays every once in a while - right?
