Hump Day Slump

Grumpy. Not Happy, Sneezy, or Dopey, just Grumpy. It's the only way to describe my day today.

I have class tonight, and just saw that we have 38 pages of lecture tonight at 3 slides per page. All about FDA audits. Tonight, I will be Grumpy and Sleepy.

Pre-op holding messed up my research tubes this morning, so first thing this morning I had to suit up and go to the OR to get them. Where the patient was being prepped for a prostatectomy. All hanging out in all his glory. Not an image I want to see before I've had my breakfast.

I have been dropping things all day long. Not just being clumsy, but more like oh, that is perfectly within my grip and I think I'll just drop it on the floor for no reason. Like my fork that I dropped on the floor of the break room while I was fixing my lunch, that I had just gone all the way down to the cafeteria to get.

I ripped a hole in my underwear when I went to the bathroom earlier. Don't ask me how it happened. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

It is 2:53pm and I have still not finished my homework that is due tonight at 6:00pm. Even though I have had a week to do it (but I was so productive this weekend with housework I couldn't possibly be bothered with schoolwork!) and said I was going to do it Monday night, then last night, and still did not. Can you tell I'm so over this grad school thing? If you look up procrastination in the dictionary you will see a picture of my face and five gold stars.

Everyone I have smiled at today in the hallways has flat out ignored me. For the rest of the day it is death stares, to all of you!

Last night Gabby and Izzy thought it would be fun to run back and forth in my bedroom chasing their feather toy that has a bell on it. At 2:30am. After I flew out of bed and launched the damn thing down the hall, I think they got the message. I know cats are nocturnal and all, but I think mine are noc-freaking-crazy.

And as a particularly cruel twist, I cannot get the song "Good Ship Lollipop" out of my head. Why? I have no idea. Have I even heard that song recently? Of course not. And, the only words I know are the first two lines, so it is "On the good ship lollipop/it's a sweet trip to a candy shop" over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

But, I'm thinking positively, because that's my new thing I'm trying! Example: I am positive that traffic on the way to class will annoy me.
