Bit of a Break

hillarygayleHere, have an icon of me in yellow & blue eyeshadow. ^_^
So today begins my "break". I am carrying 6 hours of online classes, yes, but to me? Holy crap is that a serious break. The alternative has been, for the last 9 months, sitting on my butt for 6 hours 4 days a week in lecture and running my feet off for 8 hours one day a week in clinicals. It's like ALL of my time has been spoken for for 9 months. This feels like HEAVEN; it takes me 1-2 hours a day to finish up my online classwork, and then I am free. Free to do what?
To clean my house.
To play with my son without thinking I should be accomplishing something else.
To hang out with my husband; I think I might like to play Resident Evil 5 with him. ^_^
To hang out with Q in the evenings when she gets the chance, and not be slacking on homework to do it.
To watch Jagger when Courtney wants to go on a walk. <3 Nephew!
To go into town to the mall & just walk around because I can.
To enjoy the spring.
To make french press coffee because I like the taste, not to keep me awake.
To take naps.
To sit on my porch.
To dink about on the internet, talking to friends whom I miss very much.
To write three letters by hand in response to three I recieved recently that simply made my day (I'm looking at you,wayfarersgirl, cryfreedom, and jorajo!)
To take Ganon to Frisco to go visit my mom-in-law, who is going to need it!
To make delicious, healthy lunches for me & Ganon without a thought to the time it takes (today we're having turkey pastrami, romaine, & hot spicy mustard on Greek flatbread!)
To drive to Mammoth Spring with Ganon to visit my Grandma W, and maybe eat at the Greek place in Cherokee Village.
To wake up early because I want to take advantage of all my free time, not because I have to get to class on time.
Oh that's nice.
I woke up this morning in a terrible mood, ironically. This is because I dreamed of alarm clocks all night. I was irritated & confused at first, but now I think it might've been my brain's completely eff'd up response to not having to do anything major. I had a whole pot of coffee & a sour cream cake donut for breakfast. Then I fired up some Butt Naked incense (smells like apples; great spring/summer incense) and began to clean up my kitchen, and now I'm feeling motivated. Oh yes.
I gotta figure out how to get my DMB mood theme over on Dreamwidth.

Date: 2009-05-11 06:43 pm (UTC)I had such high hopes for what I'd accomplish today, but really it's been kinda: 1) work 2) stare at the trees 3) work 4) stop & listen to the birds 5) work 6) stop and play with Ganon for a while.
I'm not gonna complain.
