Doings, etc.

I picked up a copy of I Mother Earth - Scenery and Fish last night from The Beat Goes On in Guelph. I also got an older Pearl Jam for $2.99. I Mother Earth was $1.99. I was out visiting with a friend, and trying to help with some Economics homework. I haven't flexed that muscle in a really long time. I thought it would be a lot easier for me to jump right back into it, but often there were things I just didn't know. I guess I can't beat myself up, since it has been almost 5 years since my last instructed class, and almost 9 years since I struggled through MicroEconomics myself. I say struggled but I did end up loving it in the end. We went out for an all you can eat sushi dinner. I definitely ate my money's worth, but felt not so good after. Vaguely reminiscent of an attempt to eat $15 worth of sandwiches and snacks at a conference in Ottawa.

I barely slept a wink last night. I think I finally got to sleep at about 5am. My mistake in the morning was turning off my buzzer alarm and thinking that holding my phone so I could snooze for 5 minutes was actually going to work out. I finally awoke at 10am and rushed to log on. Last night when I pulled in I thought, "Fuck it, I'm leaving my laptop in the car so I don't have to take it back and forth." So of course this morning would be one of the only mornings I actually needed it up here.

I took a power nap for lunch. I felt better at the time, but I'm going back to feeling completely wiped. I'm working from home today to avoid the commute and the feeling of being at work completely exhausted. I wouldn't have been able to power nap at work, that's for certain.

I'm heading to the Thousand Islands this weekend with the same friend. We don't have anything really set in stone yet, but it should be fun. My mom recommended visiting this lake on the top of a small mountain. I believe it's called - Lake on the Mountain. Real original guys, real original.

Also - Into the Wild - really good movie.
