Today, I'm flat-out wasted. The endorphin and energy high post-workout has been beaten down by hormonal fatigue, aches, and general bitchiness. While most of the ache has left my shoulders and neck, my biceps are still totally tight and sore. I don't notice so much when I'm just moving, but if I press on my arms and knead at them, I can feel them. I hope to god tomorrow night is more lower body than upper. The guy from technologies who talked geek with me the other day in the breakroom and I chatted again today. Looks like other people are interested in getting some personal bands so I suggested we pool resources. We might be able to get things cheaper on a package deal and we could certainly save on shipping.
Other than that, work continues to be a grind. I have major projects to juggle, and I'm starting to feel a bit of a tug of war between the woman managing my old team and my new team. I've told her that some things she wants need to be put off because I simply don't have time. And I got the feeling she was a bit snarky about me going to class (which she also attended but stopped coming to). Like, "Why are you going to class when you could be working?" You know what, I work early and late sometimes. I usually never take lunch or breaks. It's not my fault your team is understaffed, and while I will be happy to help when I can, I'm not going to give up something I need to be doing in order to do that work for you.
Grrrrrr. Clearly, I have strong feelings about this. And my general grumpiness isn't helping. I'm so grumpy that I totally killed a MONSTROUS water bug whose very presence in my home (just inside the front door high up on the wall) was an act of domestic terrorism. I knocked his wiggly many-legged ass off the wall and stomped him. Generally, I do not stop. Out of fear of missing and having the beast like take off up my leg under my clothes. Tonight => SQUISH.
Meh. Enough of this. There were good things about today. Ummm. There were.
I took my vitamins and ate healthy. It rained and is raining again, so all the pollen that has been making life so miserable should be more bearable now. Tomorrow is Idol night. I won enough bricks to build half a mushroom farm for the wee fairy village I'm working to restore in the match 3 computer game I'm playing. I did laundry. I have a small, warm, lovey hound. I found my gym bag, which has been missing since ICFA. I remembered putting it into another bag, but I didn't think it was the one it was actually hiding in.
Yeah. The good things were making me feel better until the computer connection issues kicked in again. That is a signal. It is saying, "Time to sleep, Barb. Time to sleep."

The Water Bug - it wasn't one of those huge flying crates that look like a scarab beetle from outer space? One damn thing once chased me round and round and round a room, I couldn't get away, honest. hollering me head off too I was. Maybe it like the noise?
And now nice you count the Good Things that Happen. Counting Blessings my gran used to say, from back in the bloody l800s!!!(late admittedly,but there!)

Umm, no. Down here those are likely cockroaches. They call them "palmetto bugs" but they are really just giant flying roaches. I've had to dispatch three or four of them in the time I've been here too.
Waterbugs are slinky and slender and fast with many, many, many legs. Rather like a short, wee millipede but without any armor.
