Excessive

It's that time again, to sit down on the couch and write. To turn on the TV and try to relax, and get all the thoughts of out of my head so I can feel at rest. It's like writing the thoughts down in here, in this little box, makes them go away in my head, to give me some time alone, some time to actually unwind. If I don't write them down, they circulate, go round and round, drive me crazy and never stop flowing.

I am very tired, but I haven't let it effect my ability to do things, or think straight. I guess that's why I'm writing now, instead of laying on the couch in a coma. Let's get to it then, shall we?

I woke up at 6am today, and wanted nothing more than to lay my head back down on my soft pillow, and drift back off to sleep, and I tried, I reset my alarm for ten more minutes, and tried my best to forget the fact that I had to wake up and go to work in a few minutes... but as everyone knows, time seems to speed up when you are yearning for those few extra minutes of sleep. I turned off the alarm and rolled out of bed.

I am out of breakfast food. Well, more specifically, I'm out of bread for toast or bagels for bagel and cream cheese, and that's what I eat for breakfast. There may be cereal but I just don't really eat it in the morning, and if I had to eat the cheerios, and I'm sure I would enjoy it, I'd prefer if I had a banana to put in it, and I just used them all to make banana bread, so essentially I was waking up to having nothing for breakfast. I disappointingly toasted two pieces of whole wheat wonder bread, which... isn't thaaaat bad, but kind of disgusts me, just the taste and texture... you know, like 2/3rds of a food. I covered it in honey and had a coffee with it, so it wasn't so bad.. a bit dry, but what are you gonna do?

I got in my cab at 6:35am and started work shortly after. Work was good, again it felt weird to go back after five days away, but I remember what I was doing fairly quickly and worked fast and efficiently. I got a lot of stuff done, very quickly. I put out breakfast, did soups and quiche (a very tasty mushroom, bacon and cheddar), made mousse and got them ready for the dinner, and then got Mother's Day brunch ready. I left work at 3:10pm and took the bus home.

Once home, and saying bye to Bekki on the street (Yes, that's how much time we spent together today) I did the dishes, cleaned the litter, and then made dinner. I had a small chicken caesar salad and a beef and broccoli stir-fry. Afterward, I worked on some homework... DirectX homework, drawing a bunny on the screen with polygons, and I finally got it working after some intense frustrations and stress. It was bugging me a lot, and it felt so good to have it work. It's not 100% done but very close, and I'll finish it on Monday.

Afterward I tried to play some games but felt restless and not comfortable enough to lose myself, so I just ran a bath instead, listened to some morning stream, and now I'm writing this and watching Community. I'm going to make some popcorn, watch Kitchen Nightmares, finish a chapter of Storm of Swords I'm in the middle of, and then go to sleep.

I work tomorrow at 7am and will be getting a ride with Al. We have 250 people in for Mother's Day brunch and it's going to suck. I'm most likely going to be stuck on the buffet at a carvery all day, and I'm not looking forward to that.
