Today is just one of those icky feeling days. It's absolutely beautiful outside, and work is only moderately stressful, but even still I feel icky. Mainly it's this rotten headache that I can't get rid of, although taking generic tylenol sinus did help. I wouldn't mind so much except that I have to teach tonight, and can't head home afterwards to sleep it off. Thankfully, Dean plans to take the early train and the bus home, so I don't have to drive to Wilmington after work to pick him up.
Yesterday I got off the birthday present for the oldest nephew finally, as well as my documentation to verify I'm a beneficiary on my father's life insurance claim. While I can't say no to the money, it feels mildly odd collecting money just because someone died. I'd rather have my father around, but his passing was one of those mixed blessings because he'd been in a great deal of pain and completely paralyzed, so he was ready to go. I just feel really kind of odd. I don't really feel entitled to the money. Does this mean I'm stupid enough to turn it down? Not on a bet. It'd just sit there and collect interest if I didn't, so there isn't a reason for me to not collect it. Still, of all things, I'd rather have had my father's trumpet. To my knowledge, his 3rd wife still has it even though it technically belongs to my sister. I just hope she didn't sell it. Aaahhh, welcome to Redneck Life and Times!
I managed a quick workout yesterday, and I'm finally at the point now where I look forward to hitting the gym. Yay! I only managed twice last week, and will probably only get in twice this week, but I have to keep telling myself that twice a week is better than nothing at all. I can score more times after classes are over.
Next week. Next week are the finals. Yaaayyyy! And then a week of utter hell grading, of course, since I have 60-odd students. After that, I have 12 blissful weeks of not teaching, and having my nights to myself. It's not that I don't like teaching, don't get me wrong. I love teaching. I'm just tired, is all.
This week is a short week. I cannot begin to be grateful enough for that. What am I thankful for? Having the day off work on Thursday and Friday!
