Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

I can’t leave the dark post from yesterday up as the first post people see. I’m not even depressed. I just was having kind of a crap day. Today is much better so far. I woke up at 11:20am, which completely ROOLZ! 😛 Then, I decided I was going to clean this place. I’ve been walking from room to room and setting a timer for 10 minutes. I’ve gotten through every room except my bedroom, and that isn’t too bad. I got a little sidetracked in the kitchen and really went to town on the place. It’s all sparkly (except for the floor and inside the microwave). I have a real day to myself, which is rare, so I’m trying to make the most of it. It’s sort of my last unplanned day before my defense, which is in 11 days and 20 hours (if you’re asking… I have a little countdown running on my statusbar.)

Next up is some dissertation stuff, but it’s just mindless stuff like getting the pagination right. I may even skip it, since I haven’t gotten final comments from my chair. Luckily, he says that so far, they are really minor, so that’s good.

I sometimes think that my honesty gets me in trouble. I’m usually fairly upbeat, but when I’m not, I talk about it, and I think that makes my low moods seem bigger than they are. Lots of people don’t talk about their bad moods. Me? I’m like a gumball machine. If I’m having thoughts or feelings or opinions, then I am talking about them. It’s a curse, but in many ways, it’s served me well… you know… if people can deal with my incessant blah, blah, blah-ing!

Here’s a recent happy picture to put you all at ease:

OK, more stuff to do, more stuff to do.
