Jan. 11th, 2019 09:37 pmNow I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord to NOT let me vomit like I have three of the past four nights but I'm not optimistic and I'm OVER this stomach bug and I ONLY had clear liquids in the past twelve hours and I need to make progress because I'm supposed to go back to work on Sunday. And I'm tired of this.

Nov. 27th, 2016 08:45 pmHa, missed yesterday, too. I have failed, and I am okay with that.
Because I turned in the 15 page paper this evening! With the exception of giving feedback and doing course evaluations, I am essentially done until the end of January!! Woot!! I really don't know what to do with myself.....

Just realized I never posted yesterday. Welp, guess I'm 'out' of NaBloPoMo, but I'd like to keep doing it. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do if I did win a trip to the BlogHer convention. See if I could get cash instead? Skip the con and hit up the local zoos?
So, belated Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! :)
Up at 5, worked from 7-10, grabbed some lunch, came home, showered, watched some tv, made a buttermilk pecan pie and then the stuffing, then got the turkey going. Took a nap, read quite a bit, had dinner at about 7:45, watched a depressing episodes of ST:V, and went to bed a little after 11.
Today will be a Panera and cat food run in a bit, maybe hit B&N since I have coupons, and then try and get the paper out of the way. It was so nice not to do school work yesterday!

Nov. 23rd, 2016 09:17 pmBusy day of not doing that much at work. Last day of training my newest relief keeper, so letting her do (most of) the string by herself so she can get a feel for timing.
Except it's the week of Thanksgiving.
So all week we've been doubling diets and getting hay and getting grain delievered and doubling diets and getting turkeys delievered for all the park employees (since our concessions area has a walk in fridge) and doubling diets and my string is a bear when you first start out, so we weren't out until almost a half hour late, and that was with me helping out with the 30 million education animals.
Not even pretending to do homework tonight, especially since I have to be back into the zoo at 7. Work 3-4 hours, come home, deal with foodage, try to get some paper written.
