Still Posting

I made my last trip to the university library today, which was kind of sad but kind of not. I’ve been putting off working at the American library until tomorrow since I wanted to finish Atlas Shrugged but now realize how futile my goal is. I had planned on making a trip to the beach sometime in the couple days before I left but that is clearly not in the cards.

Sam and I went to Leader Price today to pick up gummy candy, cereal, and ice cream because I am the picture of health. Do you know what tune I absolutely could not shake from my head? The Law and Order theme song. Why, oh why? Not even the whole thing, just the very beginning.

I’m still undecided about my sleeping schedule before the flight. I could stay up all night, but that would be really boring if Suzy goes to bed and I have nothing to do, because I couldn’t read the books I have set aside for the plane ride. I’d be playing hour after hour of Spider Solitaire, which is numbing, and then what happens if I do by mistake fall asleep and miss my flight? Tears and anguish, that’s what. If I do get a night’s sleep, I could wake up around 6:00, get to the airport early just in case, laze around for awhile without reading my set books, then maybe take a multi-symptom nite time softgel and knock myself out for the eight hour flight home. But then I might still be all loopy when I get to Philadelphia and that’s not fair to make Ariel deal with me when I am talking nonsense and can’t function.

I’m going to try to stay up until at least eleven or twelve, which to me will seem like five or six AM. Of course, at nine o’clock the next morning I have plans to go thrift store shopping with Lauren, because most of my clothes are wearing out after a year of constant wear and poor laundering conditions.
