Monday that is. I don’t usually hate Mondays, but this morning I’m feeling the stress of things left undone that I wasn’t feeling last night. I have my paper still to do as well as finishing the research project for class Tuesday night. I’m also still way behind on laundry. Not to mention that I’ve got to go to work today.
I’m also out of Splenda and can’t have coffee because of it. I’ll stop on the way at Dunkin’ Donuts (yea, a sacrifice, um, not so much) but it means that I have to get ready without it. I really look forward to my coffee while I’m getting ready for work and I won’t have any this morning. I’ll have to figure out my food later, but chances are good it’s going to be a salad from work for lunch. I’ll have a piece of steamed tilapia and some roasted cauliflower for dinner. Again, maybe I’ll take some pictures. Actually, the roasted cauli would make a good recipe for that portion of the R of this here blog.
I’ll be running after work with D. She wants me to force her to work out so work out I shall. Especially since I didn’t work out yesterday. Spending several hours spent by the pool drained every ounce of energy that I had.
Watched the Daytime Emmy’s last night. They were a joke. I hate when I stay up to watch something and it turns into a waste of time like that. No matter, I’ve got Hung and Entourage on DVR. I won’t get to watch it though, until Wednesday because today I’ll be watching that Cheese-fest called The Bachelorette. Some of the TV I watch is pure trash, but it’s ok, every now and again you need to have some candy. Moderation is all that is required.
I decided to stop reading The Passage for now. I was into it, but I wasn’t, haven’t had time to devote to it and I wouldn’t be able to finish it before the due date, next Sat July 3rd. I’ll pick it back up again when I get it on my library queue. Or, maybe I’ll just wait until it goes onto paperback. I also may wind up buying it. We’ll see how I feel. Right now, I have stacks of books next to my nightstand that I don’t feel too guilty about stopping and picking this up later. I ‘m thinking I need a little fluff these days. So, I picked up “When She’s Bad” by Leanne Banks. Really easy, light reading. But I can’t help but have a sense of deja vu reading this. I don’t think I’ve read it before, but I don’t recall 100%. I’ll keep reading, like I said, because it’s light and easy. Plus the main character is a hard-ass, strong women who has vulnerability underneath her exterior shell and I can definitely relate to her. It’s not a book that I’ll review, but like I said, when you can connect and find commonality with the main character, the book begs to be read.
Ah, the witching hour, time to get ready for work.
