Seems to be a rough week for a lot of people. For me, many reasons, but nothing as bad a what happened tonight. I got a call from my sister---yeah, right then I knew something was up. I'm really emotional right now. There's been a lot going on this week and this just put me over the top. I can't really focus right now. I just need to get my emotions out. I'm really just kind of numb. Maybe it's nothing, but still I don't know. My sis called about my dad. Something happened today and now we're waiting to see what's going on. I don't really want to give too many details b/c my dad is such a private person. Gee, and I wonder why I'm that way. Anyway, my sis called again, and didn't really have a lot to say. I don't know. I'm going to call tomorrow and see, I guess. Thank god Becca was there. I know she's going through a rough time right now too. I just hope I can be half the friend she's been to me. For those of you who keep up with this, just think of my dad. Thanks. I'll talk to some of you soon about this, I'll either call or I'll see you. Anyway, I'm out.

Well, I'm feeling much better today. It's the first day that I haven't gone home and just collapsed on my bed. Of course, I'm not home yet...But as the day went on, I actually felt better. I still can't breathe through my nose, nor taste much, but I am not lethargic. :) Yay!

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate drama? Yeah, it just screams insanity. There is enough in this world to worry about than to have to deal with people and there moments of insanity when their glass houses come crashing down around them. Okay, I'm a little strange this week. Maybe it's all the meds I'm on at the moment. Maybe it's just getting older. Maybe I'm just sick of this place...'I need a pill to make this town feel okay'

I was going to have dinner with a friend tonight, but since neither of us was feeling up to it, we decided to postpone it for the moment. I really need to get out to a baseball game with him. That would be fabulous!

Well, one job of mine is taken care of. I guess it's really not my job anymore. Yay! I'm pretty excited about that. I'm feeling obligated to find replacements for the rest of my positions, even though all of them have known for some time that I was planning on leaving. I guess no one really believed me, lol.

I'm excited to be leaving, but at the same time, very sad. Becca leaves in 3 weeks. 3 weeks! I can't believe that. It really makes me sad. Esp. b/c I haven't really had much time to hang out lately. And neither has she. It just sucks that time is running out so fast. But on the other hand, I'm so sick of so much aobut Norman. I cringe when I think about going to class at OU. I am ending a job b/c I don't want to be in an uncomfortable environment. It's really hard to come back to Norman when I go home. There's not a lot to keep me here. There's not a lot that I enjoy. FOB said it best..."I need a pill to make this town feel okay." The worst part of leaving is Zainab, Becca, Payam, & John. Those 4 have really done a lot for me this year. I don't know if they realize how much I have relied on them and how much I have needed them. I love each of them. They are my family and I will miss them dearly. Which is great incentive to keep in touch and to visit (often). :)

But before I cry, I will go...so...'til next time.

So, I have been meaning to post this for a week now. Work is still crazy. I have 3 Tuesdays left (including tonight)! I am soooo excited! Although, it was great to have a friend at work last week. I was very excited to see Payam. At last, I didn't feel alone. :) lol. That's kinda funny. I actually had a good feeling leaving there. It's a great way to finish. I'm so excited! But I guess I'll post more later b/c I need to run if I'm going to be on time. :) So, 'til next time...

Have you ever had one of those days where everything seemed to just kind of go by like a movie? I mean everything just passes by you & you are just standing back and watching? You completely realize that you are very much a part of this moving picture in front of you, but at the same time nothing seems real. That's pretty much how today has been. I encounter things and nothing seems to be really happening. It's not that they are bad things and I am blocking them out, it's ust that they don't really seem to have much of an effect on me. But now that things have kind of settled down a bit, and I'm sitting here thinking about things, I can just see how things occurred.

Nothing really special happened today. I worked all day, in fact, I'm still working. But the day just kind of passed over me and I don't really have a lot to show for it. Not that I sit back everyday like an episode of The Wonder Years and see what I've learned for the day, but usually, I can think of somethings that happened and enjoy them or mull over them. But right now, there's not a lot that I can do w/ it. I don't know. Maybe b/c I actually got sleep and felt rested this morning when I woke up.

I may have seemed a little out of it when I encountered people. But maybe it's b/c my life has become so routine that I don't really have to put the effort in. I just feel like I am doing the same things over and over. I guess when I was in school, it did offer a bit of variety, but I am still enjoying not being there. Maybe onto a new one, but not here. :)

Okay, I'm out of words...so, 'til next time...

I just spent most of today w/ Becca. God, I love that girl. She is absolutely one one the best friends that I have ever had and could ever ask for. We just did nothing most of the day. She gave me a great compliment. She said that I was one of the few friends she had that we could just sit and do nothing. :) Not that we don't have fun when we go out, but we can just sit and be comfortable. I love times like that. We also talked about how much we are going to miss each other. It's going to be strange not having her just across the 'backyard.' I love that we can just hang out and not feel the need to entertain. :) It's great.

I keep getting this strange phone call from a number that I don't recognize. So I called my parents...no answer...I heard from my sis & everything is okay. I'm glad. I was a little worried about my family. Call me paranoid, but seriously...with everything that has happened in the past few years, I just like to be certain. But everything is fine. I guess I should answer the phone. :)

Becca gave me a picture frame w/ a picture of us in it. I am so excited about it! Now I have two. She told me that it was the rest of my graduation present. :) I love it! Well, I seriously must continue my job getting things out of my way...so, 'til next time...

I am feeling much better today...as last night, I thought I was going to die. But I know I just needed sleep and rest.

I was reading my friend's blog earlier. It made me think, although that's really all I've been doing lately. But the point was was that all this stuff w/ old friends has stirred up a lot of thinking---being pensive, if you will. I think that's why I've been thinking and blogging so much about old issues. I dunno. Maybe it has to do w/ the fact that things are becoming final. Maybe both. Well, b/c honestly, I don't keep up w/ most of the stuff that goes on w/ people except for my close friends, and lately I suck at that. So I don't know what triggered me to keep harping on the same thing over & over. Eh...anyway...if I do it again, feel free to hit me.

God, I'm pretty sure that I never want to see basketball again. Last night we went to a Hornets game--I was like sure, I'll go, why not? Well, I had a headache to begin with & I took something b/c I thought it would go away. It just got worse--ended up being a migraine. Ugh. Anyway...not to mention that I hate basketball anyway, I just couldn't enjoy myself. I don't know. But I do know that I don't want to experience it again. :)

So yesterday was also Spring Cleaning at work. I ended up cleaning the closet by myself, which really doesn't surprise me, but what do ya do? It just sucked b/c I had other things that needed to be done and didn't get to them b/c of the closet. I almost didn't do the closet b/c I became aware of the fact that in a month, it won't matter to me one bit. So, I'm leaving the craft closet as is. I'm tired of picking up after kids who are supposed to be adults. Sorry, I've been in a terrible mood lately. I am getting worked up about things that don't matter. And I know that at times people close to me are suffering for it. I'm sorry.

Well, it's 10 a.m. and I haven't really done anything yet today. So I think I'm going to get dressed and get some things done. Have a great day everyone! 'Til next time...
