I CAN'T WATCH

the Steeler/Charger playoff game. OMG the Steelers make me SOOOOO nervous (go Boys, go) It's in Pittsburgh and what a craptacular day it is. Spitting ice and snow. That ball is going to be hard and hurty to handle. They are so hard to watch since the Steelers always seem to pull wins out their butts at the very end. The heart can't handle that.

The day started off productively. Woke right up, hit the Krogers, hit the wal-mart, came home started feeling a little tired, worked on a lecture got it done and slowly got more tired and more tired and finally HAD to go lie down. I rarely nap since they usually leave me feeling poopy.

Set the alarm for an hour just in case. Shut my eyes and something started beeping. I was mad, thought it was the phone. It was the alarm. An hour had come and gone and I was still exhausted. stumbled out to call mom and bitch about something at work and opened the door to let Roy out. Instead I let Kyo in. Fine whatever. Let him roam around a while then put them both out. Feeling almost human now

The thing at work? My anatomy class has TEN students over my limit which in a lab class is all but unworkable. So I set my secretary to checking to be sure my students have all the prerecs for my class. HALF do not and of that half ten don't have either required class. Now tomrrow I may have to pitch out half my class (how unfair is that to everyone) and find out who the hell overrode THAT many students into my class without my permission.

Had a really weird dream last night. I was home with my parents and it was my last day there and I really wanted to see this concert in Pittsburgh. So my uncle let me borrow his Harley (which btw he doesn't have in real life). It was a canary yellow Fat Bob (which is a WHOLE lot of bike, I'd be better off with a soft tail) I get as far as McDonald's (the town not the deathtrap) when I realize I don't know HOW to get to the concert and I stop at the main intersection in town. Up and down the street are all these little al fresco iron tables so I park next to one and sit down only to find I have a prime seat to see the show...a homeless man with a dog who did magic tricks.

As I'm watching and talking to the man, I decide I'll go to the mall instead and get some comic books thenthought wow if someone steals or scratchs the Harley at the mall I'm in SO much trouble so I decide to go home but suddenly I'm not outside any more. I'm in a mall and I have to pee but it's closing time and the gates are all half down and I'm not sure I can get to my Harley before I'm locked inside (which is a typical stress dream for me as I'm actually anxious about malls at closing time, god knows why. LIke I'd be locked in or something) Then I woke up and I had to pee (usually the case when I'm dreaming about needing to find a bathroom)

Oh well back to the lecture. Trying to figure out how best to describe umami

WHEEE We Won

Go Steelers. My neighbor probably thought I was being killed or having really good sex with all the squealing screams. I think that leaves us having to pluck the Ravens next game (which actually is much easier typed than done)

was just looking at a coin collecting article about the worth of old pennies. I have a 1903 Indian Head I stole out of mom's wallet sitting in my jewelry box. I should see what it's worth if anything. I just like holding somethingin my hand that is that old. I used to have a drachma but I think that was among the things stolen from Mom's since it's not been seen since.

the bike in my dream

ETA - Time to maybe have/adopt/foster a kid...caught myself telling Roy to eat his kibble and quit complaining because the orange kitty outside would love to have it if he didn't want it
