The last I wrote I was home sick. I’ve struggled all week with fighting off the cold others at work have been sharing. It has meant sleeping in – though still making it to work – and not studying or listening to lectures a few nights after work. I’m not sure if I’m over it yet, but at least today I dragged my butt out of bed and did some school work this morning.
I hope the rest of you do well today.
Another bad night of no sleep. Then, what little sleep I did get resulted in me waking up with a headache. So, I decided to use up what little bit of sick time I have left. Not that I’m wasting my time lounging about doing nothing. I’ve rewatched the first lecture of my class, worked on an essay, and did the laundry.
Just finished listening to the last lecture before the Progress quiz due tomorrow night. So, that’s cool. However, what is really making me happy is that I just went back and did the last 3 quizzes over and aced all three of them! The Sensation & Perception quiz on the first try.
My experience with school, studying, and even writing, is so very much different than even my counseling certificate training I took 25 years ago.

I must be crazy. Seriously bat guava crazy to physically stress my body with over 3 mile runs for 45 minutes just to deal with the stress of my life. I understand the paradox. Really, I do. Hell, I teach the concept to help people achieve recovery from addiction. But to put myself through what I do every two to three days?
Yeah, bat guava crazy.
Tina has a migraine. She is miserable. And there’s not a damn thing I can do to help her. Lord knows I want to. But I can’t. And it’s breaking my heart to see her suffer like this.
My alarm went off at its usual time this morning and I knew instantly that I couldn’t make it to work. It wasn’t that I was seriously in pain, or that I had a major cold, or some such thing. I was just exhausted. I didn’t even bother getting up. I laid in bed and slept for a few more hours before I crawled out of bed, made my way downstairs, and managed to send off an email quick, then went back upstairs and slept until 11:30.
I then lounged about doing simple stuff……
Well, actually I was a slug watching movies.
I finally did get around to watching today’s online lecture for my class, which was just a continuation of chapter 3.
Anyway, I thought I’d drop a post before I go to bed.
Night.
Or more appropriately – after shower/after run post. I’m feeling clean and refreshed. I was afraid my run would tire me out. So, that’s good. Anyway, I’m getting ready to finish the last 3rd of the 3rd chapter of my textbook.
The decision is do I do it here or do I go to a coffee shop. Sometimes studying from home is problematic. Mostly because I am easily distracted by chores. Today, though, chores were a nice break between various study activities. Still, I sometimes just need to get out of the house.
Sigh.
Decisions, decisions.
I’m trying to wake up. I need to get going on my school work. I’ve Friday’s lecture to watch, as well as the Chapter 3 quiz to take (which was recommended for completion by Friday). Yeah, I’m stalling.
And there’s the planned run for today, which might not happen unless the drizzle outside clears up.
Oh, and I’m still working on finishing my morning coffee.
Update: I won’t be watching any lecture or doing any quizzes until after 9:00 AM due to scheduled maintenance on the Moodle site. I guess that means I’ll be reading my textbook.
My Morning Chuckle!
