qosSo far, this has been one of those "just trudging through" kinds of weeks.
I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open in Hebrew Scriptures class on Monday night. Despite the great start, I no longer enjoy it much. Monday's three hours were agony.
Yesterday at work as ok, but the day seemed very long, and I took little to no satisfaction from anything. It was one chore after another.

rocket_jockey came over last night for Chinese food and a movie, and I was too worn out to be very good company. He wasn't in much better state. We watched Captain Blood and just vegged out.
The Child and I finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last night after RJ went home. I had been only moderately interested in the books until we hit the climax of this one, and then we started reading two - or even three - chapters a night. Unfortunately, they do not make great bedtime reading for a little girl with an active imagination, so she has been sleeping in my bed the last few nights. And the last two nights I woke up frequently, in part because of her presence, so that hasn't helped my fatigue level.
I feel tired and gray. Not depressed. But what I would most like to do right now is go back to sleep, then get up, do the dishes I did not do last night, and then spend a lot of the day reading a good book while curled up on my comfy couch.
Donations to the "Brighten QoS's Day" box -- in the form of cheerful, funny, or complimentary entries in the Comments section. . . or interesting questions to engage my mind during the work day (since I can read the email notifications of Comments Left even if I can't access LJ at work) would be welcome.
Pretty please?

If you are still interested by the time you reach Deuteronomy then you are doing allright, and if you make it through the big D you are golden. Because the rest of the old testament is pretty cool from there. You've got some classic stories and characters who make and invoke great archtypes.
*hugs
*crawls into bed with you for a moment in the middle of the night before getting kicked out
The idea of spending the day curled up on the couch sounds wonderful. Can I join you in that little fantasy?
Lova ya QOS darling. I hope this finds you in good spirits.

Nothing doing, mon ami. Anybody who crawls into my bed without an invitation gets a much more serious rebuke than "kicked out." I'll take the hug, and give you one in return, but there's a line at my bedroom door, even in LJ conversation, that I'll thank you (or anyone else) not to cross without the aforementioned invitation.
I'm taking your comment in the spirit it was intended, and I'm not angry at you -- this is simply a boundary notification. Wish this wasn't in print so it didn't come across quite so abrupt. You're still welcome just about anywhere else.

Date: 2004-10-28 05:21 pm (UTC)Thanks for the good wish, but today was, unfortunately, less pleasant than yesterday, but tonight I'm going to cook chicken, bake Halloween cookies, do my homework, and drink some vodka, so I am hoping to end the day feeling some sense of genuine accomplishment and have an assist at getting the edge off.
