Wide Awake Wednesday
Wed Apr 14 2004

Well, maybe not wide awake, but awake nonetheless.

I achieved successful alarm clockage this morning. The extra sleep would’ve been nice, but my calculus book was screaming at me from the other side of the house, reminding me that I had neglected it yesterday. Not the best way to wake up, but at least I did wake up early today.

After working on homework for a few hours, and realizing that I really wasn’t getting what it was trying to teach me, I backed slowly away from the book so as not to alarm it, then made a dash for the computer to seek a quick refuge. Even as I type I can hear myself being recalled to my studies.

This sure would be easier if I had some caffeine in the house to give me a boost. I’ll definitely have to find some before class this morning if I want any chance of being attentive to the lesson.

On to other thoughts. Hubby and the boys should be home some time late this morning or early afternoon. I suspect they may be just now stirring from sleep, and starting to think about breakfast. I’m eager for them to tell me about all their adventures and escapades. I know Hubby will be disappointed that I didn’t clean the house, but at least it is a bit cleaner than when he left. With my homework load, picking things up was good enough. The vacuuming and dusting will have to wait until later. Much later. When the kids are home. And I can task them with those chores while I eek away at my homework.

    Calculus.

    Sounds like a cross between a demon and a disease.
    There are certain things beyond my ken, and this is one of them.

    My hat's off to you.

    Have I mentioned previously how much I loathe Calculus. I'm personally convinced that Calculus was invented by mathematicians as revenge on all us poor common folk who laughed at them as adolescents, calling them "geeks" and making fun of their pocket protectors.

    lol - sounds like me and Pringles.

    RYN: Patience dear one, patience. It takes time for the hook to work you know. There are 63 blocks in the afghan, you saw the first three. I'll post three each time until I'm through. Today I finished 4 and am halfway through 5. I do need to do closeups of each as each block is a different stitch. Ambituous, aren't I?

    In the meantime, don't think I haven't noticed your comments now and again about crocheting to relax. Works well, doesn't it? I'll start pestering you soon enough to see what you've done so far. I'm only having mercy on you because of the other 'c' word currently in your life right now - calculus. Anyone who is suffering through calculus deserves mercy in my opinion. ;o) Somehow I don't think you will argue over that too much.
