jenny_wildcatIt feels like it's been a week since I posted, but it's actually only been two days.
I'm trying to take a break from finishing up my reflective journal that's due tomorrow (I know I keep saying I'm done with this semester, but I'm really trying to finish all these little ticky-tack tasks that I need to have done regardless). It would have been done yesterday, but The Greater Cosmos(tm) decided that I needed to have a fight with the stomach flu. The dumb thing is that I felt like I had a head cold yesterday morning, then my stomach started to hurt, but I figured I'd be okay. I went to yearbook and one kid decided he'd get smart with me, so I gave it right back to him (hey, the school district isn't paying me - I don't have to put up with this little asshat's crap). Once said snotwipe went off to the corner to sulk, the rest of the kids were actually quite productive. Today they're going to town to get sponsors for the yearbook and I was supposed to go with them, but... well, I didn't.
Anyway, came home, felt even crappier than before and wound up passed out on the couch moaning and sipping Fresca (with semi-frequent breaks to... yeah, I don't have to paint you a picture, do I?) On the flip side, I did get to watch some stuff I've had DVR'd and haven't been able to watch lately (Hello "V"!) and I also caught the Jazz-Nuggets game, which after the Jazz beat Denver at home the other night, I thought they'd have this all wrapped up. Turns out that no, we absolutely MUST go to game 6 (I suppose the "Utah Fans of 'Melo" wanted to get their money's worth - good grief, that was a stupid commercial. Carmelo Anthony is one of the most overrated NBA players in recent memory and I hate that he's in the Jazz's division and we have to watch him so often. But I must ask - is there a coalition of "Denver Fans of Kyrylo?") Sigh... well, another game on Friday. Here's to another Denver meltdown - plzkthx.
Oh, and today marks one year since my brother left on his mission and one year until he comes home. Not that I'm going to rub that in to him. It's bad form to remind missionaries how long they've been out and how long they have left. It just depresses them. I speak from experience (though at one point I did have some kind of countdown going on right before I came home).
Tonight I have a Relief Society leadership meeting - oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that I got called to be the second counselor in the branch Relief Society presidency. Number 1 - I'm glad it's not president (been there, done that, got the t-shirt). Number 2 - I'm glad I have something to do. But we're also having a presidency meeting before the stake leadership meeting, so I have to drive into town earlier. Which would have been fine, except I'd planned to go with the yearbook kids on their sponsor-getting trip and just stay in town, thus saving on gas and miles on my car. But I still felt crappy this morning, so I didn't go, but now I feel better and I want to go to this leadership meeting, so now I'm driving back and forth for the next few days.
This is going to be one crazy weekend - the high school is also having Prom on Saturday and some kids from town are coming out (so our high school kids don't have to go with their cousins), and I've been volunteered to be the taxi driver to and from town. Boy, I'm soooo glad I got sick this week... because, you know, I had nothing better to do... And now I think it's going to rain.
Thus endeth the random post of randomness. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Except the dog is snoring. And it's kinda cute. ^_^
