Fighting the Current

"Earleye in the Mornin'"

Newsletter is done, and sent off. I hope it works.

I agree, it IS too light out for 7:00-7:30. I keep thinking I have hours left to do homework.

I was outside for hours today, between yardwork, and pictures, and a short walk. I will have 400 pictures on this card before I download it.

This morning I rediscovered an old dream journal. I have dates written on most of them, but I only wrote years on about half of them. Been remembering dream fragments more frequently, but I keep forgetting to write them down. There was one dream in my notebook that I had absolutely no recollection of, which surprised me. Usually, once I write something down, I'll remember it as I'm reading.

There are these beautiful magnolias in the rectory yard. My brothers were too engrossed in their video game for either of them to come with me, so I took the dog and walked over with camera in hand. Spent maybe ten minutes taking pictures of the trees from all different angles and close ups and whatnot. The bells started ringing for six o'clock. My dog got a little spooked and wanted to walk towards the graveyard (which REALLY confused me... lol). And then he wouldn't walk at all, so I had to pick him up and carry him out of the churchyard. Halfway down the block, he wanted to be let down.

I officially suck at bowling. I got a 47 yesterday. And that's only because the bumpers were up for the last four or five turns. I know how to work out angles well enough (without using numbers, I think that would kill me, or at least fry my brain) to figure out exactly where to make the ball hit the bumper. Ah well, I was playing against a friend who has a similar skill level, lol. ;-P

Hung out in Barnes & Noble for an hour last night. I haven't done that in so long, lol, and never not alone.

Whoops, I was supposed to practice this weekend, wasn't I...

I had a random sea shanty stuck in my head last night.

"What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
Earleye in the mornin'

CHORUS:
Way-hay, up she rises
Way-hay, up she rises
Way-hay, up she rises
Early in the morning

Put 'im in the longboat 'til he's sober
Put 'im in the longboat 'til he's sober
Put 'im in the longboat 'til he's sober
Earleye in the mornin'..."

The worst part was that I had to look up most of the lyrics, the tune was driving me a little crazy. There are at least fifteen or twenty possible verses to that song. It was a song for heavy lifting, lol.

I am not a bread klepto... I swear... ::eyes a roll or those really good croutons::

I've been really irritable recently, edging on downright mean in some cases.

Can't figure out why the muscles in my forearms are so sore.

History essay to write. This time period (the beginning of the Cold War) is really interesting... but... ugh... I hate this teacher's tests.
