The end of November and the Semester

The last nine weeks were overwhelming.  I finished up my internship (and got hired there!  YEA!), had three classes a week, and seemed to work my tail off at the job that pays the bills.  The semester actually ended a week ago, but I had three papers to finish and turn in, then the holiday to prepare for (and enjoy a great deal), and finally some down time yesterday.  I actually took Thursday through Sunday off of everything!

I was so sore the day after Thanksgiving that I spent the majority of my time in bed on the computer.  It hurt to lift my arms, my back was so sore I was hunched over, and the headache...  wow.  Not a migraine, it's been a few weeks since I had one, but it was a killer.  It must be all the wine I drank at Thanksgiving... and the mojito, or two.  We all got to talk to Matt over in Japan while we were at dinner on Thursday.  I called him and then we both got on Google Hangouts.  I can't run Skype on my Chromebook, but Google Hangouts seems to have fewer problems so it was great.  We were on the computer with him, passing it around to everyone who wanted to talk, for three hours.  It was a great day.

So yesterday started out slow, with all those aches, Rob having to get up to leave for work early, and nothing good on television.  By the afternoon, I realized we hadn't done the dishes, taken out the trash, or cleaned up any of the mess that had accumulated while I was too busy to do anything but survive.
