THEN I get my Chemistry homework back, and Yay! because I got all the answers right, but Boo! because the prof took 30% off my score for "lateness." So, I had to follow him around for ten minutes until I could get him to pay attention to the fact that I had contacted him the morning after my night in the freakin' emergency room, so it had been an excused absence. He said he would change it back to 100%, but I have a feeling I'm just another face in the crowd to him, so I'd better watch him like a hawk.
NEXT it turned out that there was a message on my voicemail that I could make my missed lab class up, after all, but ONLY IF I RUN RIGHT NOW TO THE OTHER BUILDING AND TAKE IT CHOP CHOP RIGHT NOW DON'T STOP JUST GO! So, I did. And it was... fine. Like being in junior high once again, really, including having the partner who seemed a little slow and thus I ended up doing everything while she watched and copied my notes, except for the one thing she did do which messed up the experiment and would have ruined our results, had I not gone back and doctored the numbers.
Are we having fun yet?
Then, it was RACE back to Brooklyn to meet with my pet sitting partner, who had been circling in her car for over a half hour with two little dogs, waiting for me to meet them. They are cute, but I am not convinced they won't gnaw my face off when I go to walk them without her. I'm planning to Shake 'n Bake myself in a leaf bag full of crushed dog treats, hoping that they will then decide I'm worth sparing.
Now I'm late to get to my mom's house before the massage she's giving tonight, so I have to pack and await a call from her. Then it's schlepping to New Jerseyfor one day full of hanging her show, printing her materials, doing some store returns and hanging out at some harvest festival for a few hours while she gives chair massages. If there is a God, there will be fair weather and funnel cake.
Finally, on Sunday and Monday, I have to catch up on all the studying I'm behind on, try to do some of the neglected housework, and let Mrs. Nator know I'm still around, as well as resuming pet-sitting duties.
One day, and everything's backed up. And I'm only taking three classes right now (well, more like 2 and 1/2, since the student seminar is a gut course of sorts), y'all. God forbid I get the flu, or something, in Spring, when I'll presumably be taking at least 4 or 5.
Oh, and now my wound and shot site are beginning to hurt pretty regularly, thanks for asking.
And my Mega Millions ticket was not a winner.
Sigh.
...funnel cake?

Your Mom makes funnel cakes? Or did I mis-read that entry? Please slow down a bit and recover from your injury, before anything else. Stop and smell the betadine. (That's a little medical joke, sorry).
Please have a better weekend and go to Six Flags for the funnel cakes.
Hope all is getting better.
That all sounds like a big pile of mess. Fortunately there's calgon or it's aromatherapy equivalent. If you have a bathtub -- and can prop that wounded leg up out of the water. Even 15 minutes will give you that just so moment to take a deep breath in the midst of all that is hectic.
And if you don't do it, I will dammit. I needs a break, too, ok?
Yanno, there isn't much in this world that can't be cured by a (free) chair massage and some warm, powdered-sugar covered funnel cake. At least in my experience........... Mmmmm, funnel cake!
I'm with claire. wtf?!?

I have to look up funnel cakes. It's one of those things I keep hearing about, but I don't think I've ever seen one.
