With my new glasses! And without any more bird poop on my car - if anyone was still concerned about that (thanks to the clean machine car wash guys with their spray cleaner and elbow grease). Also helping with my vision is a friend who refuses to be remiss. How lucky I am!
In unrelated news, I'm considering giving my computer a bedtime. It keeps me up much too late which interferes with my ability to get adequate hours of sleep for optimal functioning. That and the flu is going around like wild fire and I don't want it!

Emotionally drained
I don't know what it is, but I haven't made it through a day this week where I didn't feel utterly and totally emotionally drained. I feel so tired. I took some serious horse-pill multivitamins tonight as a preventative measure. I'm exhausted.
It feels like no matter how much sleep I get, it's not enough.
My Friday night re-coop movie night has ended and it's time to stick a fork in me too. I'm done.
Huzzah! Spell check is working again.

A Day Off
Today is Presidents' Day and I get the day off. It's excellent because I have needed a day off. I slept in, took the long walk around the lake, and ran some errands. It feels like spring. Only without the honeysuckle.
Last week a friend took me to see the UVA men's basketball game (playing UNC) with her free tickets. The game was amazing; even though UVA lost (I've got to root for the home team!). The final score was 75 to 74. I forgot how much I enjoy basketball, since it's been quite a while since I was on a team. I have found my place: I am much better at cheering in the stands than playing on the court. Woo-hoo college sports! Who'da-thunk?
I was going to buy new glasses today, but had to settle on updating my lenses in the current frames. Maybe I should ask for new glasses for my birthday. There were a lot of fun frames to choose from, starting at $95 (withOUT lenses). There's always next year. Or Lasik. Or not.
I'm off to relish the last few hours of sun for the day!

Strawberry Margaritas
Tonight I had delicious mexican food with my friend and roomie. She helped me finish my large strawberry margarita after she downed hers. I needed to get out of the house and relax. Relaxing accomplished.
It was one of those days at work where I just felt drained well before it was time to go home. I couldn't keep working on anything (even though the list is long!) so I revised my to-do list and devised my plan of attack for tomorrow morning. I expect productivity and relief to ensue, and allow for full weekend enjoyment.
That's all for now.
What's wrong with my spell check? 2 nights in a row failed response?? Annoying.

Still there...
The bird blasting, that is. If anyone was curious. The rain is defnitely helping.
I'm taking a really interesting online course on cultural proficiency. It's halfway through the six-week course, and I'm realizing how un-culturally proficient I am. The second half will have us talk about action steps to take and I'm hoping will help.
I'm also hoping that realizing there's room for improvement will lend itself to filling some of that space with improved understanding and knowledge.
An article that I found interesting was called White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack by Peggy McIntosh. I think you can google it if you've never read it. And if I were more blog-savy I would link you there. More room for improvement ;-)
Spell check is not functioning tonight, so no comments on my spelling errors.
