Today was Tuesday- and in fact it still is for the next 40 minutes. It didn't start off that well as I spent half the night up and tossing and turning. I felt like I had drank a quart of coffee and was all jittery. Except that I didn't drink any coffee after about 11am yesterday.
So when I awoke to my alarm this morning I was indeed alarmed. So much so I hid for the next 40 minutes under the covers. It was snowing very heavily in big fluffy flakes. That was nice. I managed to make it to my studio class before the teacher. And by before I mean I was two steps ahead of her and held the door. But it's a pretty mellow class. We are working on a roof plan with 4 elevations. I love drafting. I could do that for all day for the rest of my life. I just love it.
It's so precise and fiddly and you get to you neat-o pencils. But the move these days is towards using Auto-Cad- boo to technology. (although I do praise it that I am able to web cam with my family almost every day- then I like technology) I had an old boyfriend that was all "damn the man" but he so liked the man that paid his EI. Stinkin hippies....
OK back on topic! After class I was feeling so good I made it to the gym for about an hour and then went to the next class. I am glad I did the gym early because I had it budgeted to do after the 2nd class- but by then I was so tired. I just came home and went to bed for a bit.
I started reading Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar yesterday. It's a really good book. I don't know much about the author other than she stuck her head in an oven. And wasn't she married to Al Purdy? or am I so confused as to the poet she was married to? Anyway, ironically (or just coincidentally) the book is all about a young woman in the depths of depression trying to kill herself it's very compelling. I'll probably finish it tonight.
Laura and I were supposed to meet up as she is in Toronto at the Gift Show doing some buying, but I got an email from her saying that it all just got out of hand and they haven't had a moment to spare. Alas- I was really looking forward to sitting around with a friend but what can you do- duty calls.
Right, I was doing some math homework- I finally got myself caught up on the weekend- and then the tempting call of the computer so here I am. I have to get out and take some more pictures. I wasn't feeling very inspired last week- all lonely and maudlin. But I chatted with Mohamed on Sunday and that perked me right up. And I have had some good chats with other friends to keep me going. Next on the hit list is Chels! It is so tempting to get up and call someone at some freaky hour like 5am and go "What? Aren't you up?- The whole WORLD is up darling!". Maybe I'll save that for a more special occasion- like the morning after a big night out...
Well this is enough for tonight and for Tuesday- the best day of the week!
