long week. longer week next week, since it's tacked on to the week i just managed to get through. luckily the kids are being sweet-natured (touch wood and hope to god the good-naturedness lasts until this coming friday). i am exhausted though - and i realized that i have to work tomorrow night after i finish a full day (so i'll be working from 8 AM until 11 PM tomorrow, straight - i finish one job at 5:45 and start my other job at 6 PM). bad planning on my part? guess so. don't have anything else to blame.

wow. it's almost 7 PM and it's a bit overcast today, but the setting sun just appeared outside the windows and its glow is amazing.

i have to figure out the moving schedule for the weekend after the one coming up (i feel like a space cadet. for some reason i haven't wrapped my head around the fact that not only am i moving apartments yet again (will this ever stop?) i am also moving in less than two weeks now, and i am moving in with my boyfriend. although this is going to be wonderful, it is going to be odd not to live alone. i've done it for four years pretty much, and it's a bit of a habit i think. change is good though. forces one to expand (or grow beyond) unconscious boundaries.

i have discovered that having an injured spine while enduring having your period is excruciating. i usually suffer from back-ache at these times anyway, but it never occurred to me that the usual back-ache would exacerbate the bruised spine injury that i've managed to re-trigger. it's driving me nuts. and making me really cranky (a state of moodiness that is certainly not helped by the period-ness my body is experiencing right now).

only one more week and i will never have to write another paper again. i can do this, i can do this.

here's to getting through things, and getting stronger.

with love
