Mid-Week sleepiness….

admin April 7th, 2005

So I’ve been staying up way too late this past week. What’s funny though, is that while midnight is late for me now…it used to be nothing. Long gone are the days of all-nighters and regularly going to bed around 2-3 a.m. I need my sleep…in bed by 10:30 usually works the best. It just hasn’t been happening lately though. I find myself freaking out whenver the alarm goes off…and then carelessly forgetting what the alarm stands for. So I gracefully turn it off and roll over and sleep a sleep that causes me to race to work because I’m usually late. Aside from that, it’s been a rather busy week. Monday night was late at work so I could get some calling to my students done. Tuesday night was also a later night at work, followed by a mad cleaning of our apartment. Yesterday was a long day at work followed by a meeting with a friend of mine who works with personal finances (or something like that). Anyway, he and his boss came over and helped us set up our IRA and all that good stuff….yay for retirement planning. We already have a 401K set up…so we’re totally on the way to great retirement years. It’s weird that you have to start planning for all of tha when you’re so young. So I can tell you all about it now…my dad would be so proud! His little girl is into stocks and bonds! Anyway, that ended pretty late and I still had to make a cheesecake and bake potatoes for supper tonight. Tonight my student workers are coming over for dinner at our house. (I have them over ever other month or so…because they love to get away from campus and they love food.) I’m making them my famous baked potato soup, sourdough bread and yummy cheesecake. It makes me feel so good when I realize that I’m helping to make their college years better. College is such a blast…and people who took the time to invite me over always made me feel better. Anyway, I best end this and get back to work. It’ll be a busy day because I have to leave at 4:00 to start on the soup. Adios!
