Any Day Now

I am really getting tired of being sick. I haven't had a fever since Thursday, but this phlegm is irritating. No matter how much of it is still in my body tomorrow, I'm going to the freakin' gym. This is getting ridiculous.

Well, finals are over, grades are put in and my classroom is clean. Today is day two of my vacation and I haven't done anything productive. Oh, wait. I did. I read "Of Mice and Men," which I'm teaching in April. That is one of the shortest books I've read and and took me all of 3 hours to read. I think I'm going to work with it for only 4 weeks, tops. Maybe I can squeeze it into three weeks because of how short and how quick of a read it is.

I went to the movies yesterday and saw "King Kong." I highly recommend it. I went in not very enthusiastic, but I loved it. The guy sitting two seats over almost had me in his lap, though, when the characters landed in the Ravine of Gigantic Bugs. My distaste for insects grew as big as those bugs were. Shudder.

Nothing else of interest has happened recently. I've been talking to a very nice gentleman and we might go out this week, but as I'm picky... we'll see.

The kitchen is starting to resemble a kitchen again. We have tile! And new cabinets! Now if we only had a stove...

Tonight: Christmas party with ex-coworkers. Tomorrow... I am going to work on my screenplay (the one I haven't touched in 8 months and was working on almost two years ago... how sad). I still believe in the idea and my writing and I am going to finish the fucker this holiday season! I've already written over 60 pages of it (I think), so I'm halfway through. I just need to focus. I want to submit it to the slew of writing contests that open in the spring. Maybe I'll win and someone will buy it. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Consider yourself lucky. I could've mentioned my menstral cramps last week. :)
