Catching up

So I think I'm mostly caught up on my life. I also managed to pick up a terrible cough from somewhere that is slowing me down. Not congestion, just a cough. But the kind that makes my back and my head hurt. Awesome. My eyes hurt too.

I'm supposed to be having a trapeze lesson on Wednesday if the people ever call me back to confirm. I'm looking forward to it, even though I'm a little scared that I'll suck because I'm so out of shape. It's going to be interesting at least.

Work has slowed down just a little bit, but only a little and only briefly. It's going to get crazy again before too long.

I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do for the holidays, and so far haven't gotten very far. My work schedule tends to be kind of last minute, especially in the case of trips I may or may not have to take. I *might have to go to Havana. I *might have to go to Utah. I *might have to go to Brazil. But there's no telling when those decisions will be made. Maybe tomorrow, maybe a month from now. It's awesome for making plans. My mom loves it too. And then there's my cockeyed optimism, where I'm afraid to make plans for holidays so far in advance because I'm worried that I might meet someone special and then I'll have to spend the holiday without them. How's that for pathetic?

I just saw a teaser for the news that a man died diving for lobster. Doesn't he know he can get that at Red Lobster?

Anyway, I want to make plans, but can't, and I'm afraid to anyway.

I gave a test in my class last week and haven't graded them yet. Tomorrow is the next class. I'm behind. I totally forgot about them, which really sucks. That's what happens when I want to relax and do nothing. I made a list, and the tests didn't even make it on the list. Sheesh.

Anyway, nothing too juicy to report. I need to go. My eyes hurt.
