I'm so sorry you're hurting, sj. I hope the chiro helps.

ION, I am down to the final three essays, and I think I'd rather spork my eyes out than grade them.

Can you go to bed? Or do you need to finish them tonight?

I think I just need to grit my teeth and barrel through. Tomorrow is my last chance to turn these back in time for the ninth graders to revise for the final drafts that are due next week (I'm trying really hard not to think about those right now). I have to grade senior projects tomorrow. The seniors' last day is Thursday, and I have two students who are on the edge of needing to take a final exam depending on their grades, so tomorrow needs to be senior grading day. But...then they go away! YAY. (I mean, I love them and all, but still.)

Punctuation for sj and Kristin.

I'm going to bed now. I rather hope I don't wake up at 4 or 5.

good luck then on the grading, Kristin. At least the end is in sight.

Two, two papers! Muwahaha.

No need for punctuation for me, Andi. I'm just being whiny tonight. All my punctuation are belong to those that need it, including sj.

DONE! WOOT! Bed now. Thanks for all the encouragement, loves. Night!

Congrats on finishing, Kristin :)

My back is still whining at me for making it stand up all weekend. That'll teach me. Yesterday I worked in bed all day, but today I have to go to a class (crazy - it's like I'm a *student*) so there will be getting up and attempting to go places. Should be interesting.

This afternoon my friend is bringing a cake that she's baked for us to our study group. Friends are awesome.

Yay for Pix finishing!

I should be in bed. Alas, a brief skype with Shir, and now MyBrute fights are keeping me from it. When will I ever learn?

I sit with Sean and Omnis on the "why the f can't i get a date" bench. Seriously. I've tried eharmony, match.com, the onion.com personals, and hurrydate, back when i had a semi normal schedule. Went on a lot of first dates, a couple seconds, nothing more.

Now that i'm on night shift and have few social friends in the area...well...there isn't much meeting to be done and i gave up on the online dating as an expense i just can't shoulder right now. Prospects are nil and it is depressing. Not that the situation is any way new, i've been single pretty much since college, but i'm looking for a house right now and have pretty much given up on *not* spending the rest of my life alone, which hurts sometimes.

And while yes, definitely looking for scrubbing the toilet, doesn't mind me singing to my cats kind of relationship, i have learned the hard way that there has to be *some* element of physical attraction. Otherwise i just have a really awesome friend who i don't particularly want touching me...and that does not go over well at all in the long run. There is an essential difference between friends and partners and i think pheremones are in there pretty heavily. Maybe my pheremones are broken? Or just too picky. Dunno. Either way it sucks. *sigh*

I need more friends who are amateur matchmakers, darnit!
