Hi again

I'm back. Now then, more about my lesson plan! :)

Art: try to pick up manga drawing again.

Art: PAINT!!!

I should probably use my calligraphy kit, too.

World History: read the DK Biography on Martin Luther King Jr.

I think that's it.

I went to the library a few hours ago. I took back The Encyclopedia of Punk and Whole Lotta Led Zeppelin and picked up Ten Things I Hate About Me by Randa Abdel-Fattah and a book on Afghanistan. I still have a DVD in transit - The Sarah Jane Adventures, which is a spin-off of Doctor Who. I might have more in transit soon.

I also went to Shopper's Drug Mart to get candy for the Valentine's swap.

My stomach is still being weird.

Blah.

I seem to have a strange stomach. Some mornings I just don't feel like eating anything. I'll be hungry, but my stomach doesn't seem to want anything solid. And I just ran out of chocolate soy milk. Shucks.

I did, however, work on my Party Clutch though, with help from my mom. I had to pick up and knit stitches along the edge. I got the first edge done, but I couldn't get the cast-on edge done. I think it was because I hadn't eaten anything. So I ate two bowls of Campbell's Italian Wedding soup. I think it was after the soup when I polished off the last of the chocolate soy milk. Some days I just don't wanna drink that stuff, other days it's like an elixir. Then I ate a couple of English muffins with peanut butter and jam on them, and I also drank a bottle of Pepsi.

Maybe I have to start drinking a glass of water in the morning, because a little while ago I had to drink water to kind of kick-start my stomach. I wouldn't feel hungry in the morning, but after drinking water I started feeling hungry.

It also doesn't help that I drank all the fruit juice in the house. That stuff was also great to consume in the morning if I didn't feel hungry.

ETA: Sorry, it wasn't an entire bottle of Pepsi. There's still some left in the bottle.

Funky stomach

We went out for fast-food on Monday, and I got a funky stomach afterwards. I'm not sure if it was from the food or if it was from an employee, but I felt queasy later that day, and I felt the same way yesterday. I'm okay now - I had a bowl of grits as a late breakfast.

Sometime today I have to get to the library. I went with my dad yesterday, but they were closed due to flooding. We had wicked weather over the last few days. One day (I can't remember which day), we had a mix of rain and hail. Freaky.

This just in... my computer is stupid. It just brought up a window saying that it was doing automatic updates. My mom said, "That's what it's SUPPOSED TO DO!" My dad thinks I'm overreacting. Too bad... I just hate it when I'm typing and it demands that I make a decision within a 3:00 time limit. Or whatever the time limit was. Hate it, hate it, hate it.

Stupid computers.

I think I'll buy a Mac in the near future.

One more note... I frogged the gauntlet. Twice. First, because there was an ugly hole in it (dad was distracting me). The second time around, I was one stitch short, or something like that. I'm not sure if it was the yarn bothering my eyes, or if the pattern just wouldn't work for me...

Aching :(

What a fascinating dilemma. My stomach is aching, but I don't feel sick - it's more like a muscle pain, like I pulled a muscle or got kicked really hard. But I haven't been to karate recently, so I assume that I pulled a muscle. My right shin is also aching a little.

On the upside, I watched The Best of the Muppet Show today while working on my ruff. My mom's borrowing The Best of the Muppet Show and The Muppet Show, Season 1 from the library. We watched the first disc of season 1 of the Muppet Show as well. Also, the first season of Cowboy Bebop is in transit, and so is the soundtrack from Shine a Light. So I'm really happy about that.

I also made a mix CD of calming music - stuff like The Battle of Evermore by Led Zeppelin, and If by Pink floyd, among other songs. I'll listen to it when I'm reading, or knitting, or doing algebra, and I'll probably listen to it before going to bed, to help me sleep.
