sick little monkey.

two words: strep throat.  it has been the bane of my existence since Tuesday.  yesterday was the first day i saw any significant improvement, and i have slept on the couch for the last 3 nights due to my incessant coughing and blowing of the nose, which was quite disruptive.  i haven’t had a good night’s sleep in nearly a week.  seriously, people.  being sick sucks.  although, i have been trying to be thankful that this is the first time i’ve gotten sick since january, which for me is a miracle in itself.  so there’s that.  you know, looking on the bright side and all.

i’m taking this large-ass exam tomorrow morning.  it’s one of the 2 tests i have to pass to become a certified teacher.  people keep saying i won’t have a problem, but when i answer the practice questions, there are quite a few on which i haven’t the slightest.  so i dunno.  but there’s only so much studying one can do in one day, so i’m just not too stressed about it, because what would be the point? 

there’s really not a lot going on outside of school.  though my office finally hired a new person to start tomorrow.  hopefully this girl will last.  the idea of having to train someone else is really irritating.  also irritating?  the fact that i will only get paid for like, 5 hours of work last week.  depressing, really.  that’s the bad part about part-time.  you don’t get paid when you’re not there.  sigh.

my damn laptop can’t find a wireless signal, and it’s really been slowing me down.  the network i normally use is nowhere to be found, and all the others are passworded.  don’t hate, i bought a wireless router to use at my parents’ house when i’m there, so i’m not a total thief.  it’s that i hate to spend money on two when i don’t have to, you know?

i really look forward to having a house.  or even just more room.  the apartment we’re in now is 600 square feet, which isn’t very much for two people.  not to mention it’s a big football day today, so now would be a good time for that extra bedroom.  with an extra tv.  i’m just glad basketball season is about to start, because that i can deal with.  football?  just gets on my nerves, and i have no interest.  C, on the other hand, is in like 2 or 3 fantasy leagues and has this betting system thing he’s always working on because he’s good with statistics and he likes betting.  so he’s always tracking the different games.  which means it’s not just one team, like the Cowboys or something, that he watches.  it’s many.  =) 

he has been great since i’ve been sick, taking care of me, going to the store every day to pick up more kleenex and other odd requests.  friday night he went to pick up chili’s take out for me because i wanted the chips and queso.  it was sweet.  ooh, i need to call heather.  heather, i’m going to call you.

hope everyone is doing well.  the last 3 days would have been a good time to catch up some on diaries, but like i said, no freaking wireless.  =(  i am thinking about ya’ll, though.  thanks for the comments, too!

love, G
