What day is it??

I've completely lost track of time and day and date. Everything feels surreal and dream-like because I am drifting along with no structure and nothing much going on. Haven't we all dreamed of having no particular thing to do, no particular place to go? A little goes a long way for me.

In the past month, I've read fifteen books (starting my sixteenth today), forty-six magazines (and yes, People & Us count!!), watched eleven movies, and taken twenty-two naps.

But I am feeling really happy.

Today I went to school, kind of hoping to bump into Denise or Ron but I just missed Denise. So, I dropped off the books she lent me and some CDs I thought she might enjoy and visited my room, which has been rearranged, computer dismantled, and it looks like nothing precious is gone. After acknowledging that I can't do any work, I smiled and left. Oh, I peeked at a couple of the paint jobs I knew were taking place and at the new windows in half the building. Things look good. When I got home, there was a message from Denise, wanting to touch base. I called her back and said we should get together next week...

Oooh, and I saw Ben--my favorite student and met his friend Tyler with the red hair. It was so fun to touch base with teenagers that I really care about. That's what I miss this summer--my students. It was such a turnaround year this past year that I really do miss the students. Awww. I say, after 2005 ended, I didn't think I would ever have fond feelings of school or teenagers again.

So, now I'm back to my random schedule. And yes, I ate two times today with only one coffee. I promise I will have supper.

What to do to while away the rest of the day? Perhaps taking the new book onto the porch. I don't dare to nap again because it's disrupting my night sleeping, although, I do have stuff I could take to help me sleep at night. Do I really want to take more stuff??

Oh, I do have one more movie to watch today--Failure to Launch. Eye candy is good.

What if this is as good as it gets?

I envy your reading. I've managed 1 book in my month at home. I have trouble focusing long enough. At least the short-term memory loss is getting much better.

Hope you're getting better too. :)

I'm getting better, I guess. I don't know what better is right now, but... I'm getting it.
:-)

Yeah, better is hard to pin down. I'm getting it too, but not in any big hurry unfortunately.
