I went to work already feeling rundown, because of the terrible sleep I had last night.
I lay in bed for a half hour, annoyed about something that wouldn't normally be annoying, but I was literally so tired I was just in a really bad mood and was upset at the world in general.
I was too hot.
I was too cold.
I tried to count backwards from 1,567, but I kept thinking about work.
I tried reading.
I tossed and turned my way into dream-riddled sleep.
The engineer I dated for a week and a half in early March, and who started totally avoiding my glance at newspaper meetings like there was some big uncomfortable thing, which was kind of annoying, made a cameo. (He was randomly at a party I was also at and he said "Uh oh, there's that girl I used to date. I hope she doesn't see me," to his friends. He was five feet away from me, so I totally heard him. Then I went over to him and said "Really, I'm okay, just get the fuck over yourself." Then I think we made peace, then I went to talk to someone else. I didn't really want to talk to the engineer, I just wanted him to know he hadn't like, hurt my feelings or whatever he thought.)
Mostly I dreamt about making crepes. There's no escape.
Then, today, because of the rain, work was slow, so mostly I did weekend prep work. I got to cut and grill eggplant, which means that I got to work the
big electric slicer. The key is, unsurprisingly, keep your hand away from the blade. I'm awesome, I thought.
Before I left I spilled a giant bowl of waffle batter
everywhere. Walls, shelves, everywhere. It was like a cartoon where someone spills. I suck, I know.
Also, now that I'm working full-time as well taking a class, it's quite reasonable to think that I won't have any free time/fun until at least mid-July, and by then I'll have another essay coming up. (Well, I'm counting my family reunion and grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary as well as my brother staying with me, the latter of which will involve fun, but probably not a lot of free time.) Thinking this just makes me more tired.
