I'm so looking forward to tonight. I can just go home, and unpack more, and send out more "I've Moved!" cards, and sleep. Go to bed early. I'm so tired. I've been feeling run down for quite some time now. I think my body is on the verge of getting sick. I took a day off about a month ago to keep it at bay, but my throat has had a tickle (you know--it's not sore, but it's almost there) for forever and I'm just so tired. The stress of finding a place, of moving, of work, of my class, of my parents moving...I think it's all ganged up on me and my body is refusing to cope with it. Plus, I have this huge headache and am completely lacking in motivation. I'm considering taking off part of the afternoon to nap. I'll see how I feel later. The Tylenol is helping the headache, at least.
My life feels surreal at the moment. I think it's the fact that I've moved into a new place, so that part of my life has changed (new place, roommates, etc.), but my job is exactly the same. It just makes everything seem weird. And driving home on Rockville Pike? Strange. I guess it's because moving equals change, but everything hasn't changed for me.
I can't believe it's already the end of October. Maybe it's the 75-degree weather that's doing it. Time is flying by. I guess it really has been...since college. Bizarre. "Days go passing into years...years go passing day by day," as the Muppets once sang.
The other day I was walking down the street and smelled, I guess grass. But this particularly smell always makes me think of the south. I guess it's because I strongly associate it with my granparents' house in Baltimore, then I only ever smelled it at places like Monticello and Williamsburg. I don't have many smell associations (that's what happens when your nose was stopped up for the first 15 years of your life). Anyway. Random.
Today as I was driving in to work, I was behind a car that had a bumper sticker that said, "Got haggis?"
Oh, and if anyone knows how I can change the color of my "Comments" button so it doesn't blend in, please let me know. You know, by commenting. So I feel loved.
Current song in my head:
"He'll Make Me Happy" from The Muppets Take Manhattan
