Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 226

Today's Daily 5:
  1. I woke up this morning to discover that sometime in the middle of the night, my modem had decided it didn't want to support my wireless internet.  NOT good for someone who relies on internet to keep in touch with most of her closest friends.  I made an early morning call to tech support from my internet provider, and was pleasantly surprised when I got through almost immediately, was able to work with (and understand the English of!) the guy on the other end, and get it fixed, without an onsite visit (which would be, umm, challenging given the crazy living situation at Grandma's).  Hooray for good tech support!
  2. Brightly colored toe nails - just a goofy thing, but catching a glimpse of my brightly painted toes did make me smile
  3. I was in a drugstore to pick up dental floss before going to my yoga class tonight, and spotted Almond Joy pieces.  Almond Joy is my favorite chocolate bar, and unavailable in Canada, so the "pieces" were a shock, which I promptly purchased to go with that dental floss.  They're nowhere near as good as the actual chocolate bars, but were tasty, and did make me smile
  4. I totally dragged myself to yoga tonight.  It hadn't been the easiest day, and I wasn't feeling great.  BUT, that feeling after yoga, the relaxed, I could melt and fall asleep right here on my mat on the hard floor feeling?  Totally worth it.
  5. Aiming for an earlyish bedtime tonight - basically I'm shooting for lights out before midnight for the second night in a row!  That's a big deal for me!

Wednesday Randoms

I spent 40 minutes on the line with internet tech support at home this morning.  Thankfully, they were able to solve the problem.  Here's hoping it stays solved, since it definitely wasn't how I'd planned to start my day.

And now? now I'm sitting in a hallway at school, surfing job websites, catching up on some blog reading, and writing this post in which I really have very little to say.


I'm pretty tired, and I woke up with a bad headache this morning.  The drugs are kicking in and making this morning of history lectures a doable feat.  Some night soon, I imagine, I have to be able to sleep better than I have been lately.  At least I hope so.


I'm planning to go to a yoga class tonight, and looking forward to it.  But, if I don't feel a bit better by then, I'll probably go home instead.


It's been that kind of week.  A weird mixture of stuff.  Of not sleeping, and consequently not feeling all that great.  Of carving out time for rest, and ending up restless.


At least I'm getting some reading done as I sit on the bus every day.  I have rather a lot of books to get through in a short amount of time at the moment, so time on the bus to read is a very good thing.


And with that, it's almost time for class, so I'll sign off!  See you tonight for the daily 5!
