I Can’t Believe Next Week is Thanksgiving.

I Can’t Believe Next Week is Thanksgiving.

For some reason, today has been especially long and tiresome. Work seemed to drag on, and I was generally not in the mood to be there.  All I could think of was coming home and taking a nap.  On a positive, I seemed to have fully recovered from whatever sort of bug I might have had.  I pumped myself full of Zycam and zinc yesterday, so maybe that helped.  On a negative, I transferred whatever I had to Teale.  She’s felt bad today, on top of having a lot of Spanish homework to do, which I know makes the whole ordeal even more miserable.  She had work scheduled today, but partly because she was sick and partly because her work is seasonal and limited by the amount of payroll the company has anyway, she was able to just come home. 

I went by the store after work to get some groceries for home-made chicken noodle soup.  Well, sorta home-made.  I did buy chicken broth and boneless skinless breast, so I guess it wasn’t all that home-made, but Teale liked it nonetheless.  I know that when your throat is sore, and you feel cruddy, there’s nothing quite like some chicken soup.  The soup ended up being just “ok” by my standard, but Teale really liked it (or maybe she’s just being nice) and that’s all that really mattered. 

I feel like the dogs have been extra frustrating today as well.  Maybe it’s the buildup of having a messy house right now and not getting enough sleep.  I know it’s weird, but when there’s clutter, it usually puts me in an agitated mood.  I think It’s a testament to my mild OCD or something.  Anyway, a puppy who needs to go out every few hours combined with endless rain doesn’t bode well for a clean house.  The kitchen floor seems to be constantly covered in leaves and bits of grass near the doorway, and there’s dog toys all over the place,  and you constantly have to be on guard for correcting when he does something he shouldn’t.  All that is just really not what you feel like dealing with after working all day, shopping, cooking, and schoolwork. 

I feel like this has the potential to being one of my setback days, which effectively knock the steam out of my motivation.  I’m going to try very hard to not let that happen.  I have another post to make tonight, and I need to come up with a study plan since next week is Thanksgiving.   I can’t believe it’s that close to the holidays already.  Gosh, where has the month gone?
