Tired

[judecorp]

I shouldn't be this tired because I think I got a fair amount of sleep. I went to bed a little later than I would have liked, and my mind stayed on for a little longer than that, but I slept through the night and didn't wake up from any crazy dreams. I did have a pleasant dream this morning about hanging out with rebasayre and kylesatt, though, which probably means we need to hang out soon. I miss you so much I'm dreaming about you, kids.

It's freaking COLD outside, yo. Columbus is frozen solid (which sucks, since it flooded all weekend).

But I'm tired, not the tired that makes your head foggy but the kind that makes your legs feel like they're filled with cement. Sitting in this chair, my heavy legs are pulling on my weak knees and making them ache. I hope desperately that this is not a weak hello from the depths of Jennifer's illness. I am keeping myself motivated with Sweet Tarts. Tangy, baby, that's me.

Our phone system at work is out. Interesting. It makes for a quiet morning. I'll be running around all afternoon, though, that will pick things up. Volunteering tonight after work until 9. I need to find time to get some relaxation and sleep. Maybe I'll ditch LJ tonight in favor of laying in bed with White Oleander, which is good but a tad disturbing given my current line of work.

I have been cramming for the Chorus concert on the 17th. It's like school. I come home from work and go over the songs for an hour, and then throughout the day I can't get snippets of the songs out of my head.

tears and strong arms at the end of the day
two thousand loving arms
lady moon would weave my hair plaits
isolated i was from all my people
if my love makes me strong and makes you... disappear
that was once what helped your mother, and her mother long before that

Oh wait, the phone's back up.

I loved White Oleander and the book more so than the movie because it was naturally richer. I was doing research at the time on kids in the foster care system (specifically mentally ill children or children of mentally ill parents) in NY state so it resonated with me on another level.

I am really liking the book. It's a really quick and easy read. I say this every year, but I really need to take more time to read and stuff... I'm getting way out of the habit.

I just hope that what happens in that book isn't happening to my clients.

you're practicing! You cheater.

It's true. I cheat.

I liked White Oleander, but you're right, it's incredibly disturbing. I want to see the movie just to see how close it is to the book.

I haven't seen the movie either. I wanted to wait until I'd read the book. It's on my Netflix queue, though, so when it gets mailed to me I'll let you know and we can watch it. :)

that sounds like a plan!

You could curl up on a couch at Cup O Joe in German Village!

I'm going there around 6 or 7 (dependent upon when I can get with two bratty residents to mediate their roommate conflict)...and Sarah's joining at 8. I have to study...and knit.

Join me?
