Year: 2011

• Well, I think the dehumidifier is working, because my skin is all dry and itchy. Reminds me of winter in San Diego.
• Hurray for misquoting MLK (link). I don’t think the celebratory responses were entirely in good taste, but I can understand the sentiment.
• It’s been one of those days that didn’t seem so bad, like maybe it’ll make me think that things aren’t going downhill all the time, like maybe the second derivative of my life is positive.
• My eyes have been pretty tired lately, though. Staring at a computer screen for 14 hours a day is probably not very good for the eyes. I ordered a pair of computer reading glasses from the optometrist, which supposedly will be easier on the eyes. We’ll see how those go.
• Very sore from class. Basically, my entire body aches these days. I think trying to add this weightlifting regime on top of classes is going to destroy me. Still no info on Beauty’s ankle injury.

 

Euphoria ended rather abruptly mid last week, and now I’m mired in a deep lethargic morass. I don’t think I’m sick, but maybe I am. It’s bad when I’m burned out from working by the end of Monday. This is after averaging 12 hours of sleep over the weekend. I’ve lost all energy, and even my ballet motivation’s been sapped by “Beauty” injuring her ankle; trepidation for starting pointe also creeping in. Projects just keeps piling up at work. Even my reading list is getting out of control. At least I managed to finish Annotated Alice, which was pretty interesting. I can’t recall if I’ve ever read Through the Looking Glass before. My memory kind of sucks.

Goal for the week: survive and don’t lose it.

P.S. I bought a couple of dehumidifiers. I hope they work. Although it’s almost summer, so maybe we’ll just open windows instead.

• Don’t know why I’ve been so out of it the past two weeks. Too many mini-projects at work, maybe. The ulcer-like abomination is feeling better, though. Perhaps it’s stress related. I might have lost a pound or so due to the discomfort of eating. Unfortunately, it seems to be somewhat exacerbated by caffeine consumption, so maybe that’s why I’ve been out of it this week.
• I don’t really want to do this show tomorrow. It’s weird how I don’t feel all that nervous because there’s really no consequence involved, yet I still don’t want to fuck up, which I know I will because I don’t practice. Oh well, hopefully things don’t go terribly awry.
• Actually had a few classes where I didn’t feel like I completely failed. I could probably use a little positive momentum prior to attempts that are sure to ravage my feet. Need to do more stretching and strengthening exercises.
• Muscles are sore. Too bad massage isn’t until Wednesday.
• NBA regular season over. I don’t have high hopes for the Lakers this year. A lot of good teams, though, so it should be exciting to watch the playoffs. Now, if only I had a tv…
