My method of waking myself in the morning, hmmm it varies. Sometimes I wake up on my own and turn my alarm off before it sounds, sometimes I sleep through my alarm, and sometimes I actually wake up when my alarm goes off…
I usually alternate between two songs (as my alarm) to get me up and out of bed: “Don’t Stop Believing”-Journey and “Three Little Birds”- Bob Marley. This morning was much different though. My poor roommate must’ve had something stuck up his nose because this morning I woke up to, joking aside, 25 sneezes in a row. I never really thought about sneezing- and the noise it makes- until this morning when I was laying in bed. I've never heard such a large amount of sneezing all at one time. Let me tell you-- That is some pretty wicked noise that comes out of a person. I think I’ll stick to my alarms that I already have rather than go for the bodily-function noise.
Today has been a little hectic. Getting up and going was rough. This includes 1) Tripping over my many art projects that I have scattered around my floor in my bedroom 2) Only having time to drink 16 oz. of pure caffeine 3)Locking myself out of the house without my car keys, and not realizing it until I got into my car 4)Leaving all my important things in my classroom … usually not a problem but another class is being held in there at the moment.
Last night I went to the most bomb-ass Mexican restaurant in Apopka- Garibaldi’s. My co-workers and I have been trying to figure out ways to get us through the weeks. Too often people get stuck in the go-to-work-come-home-eat dinner-go-to-bed-wake up-repeat routine, which I have definitely fallen a victim to many times throughout my short working career. So, last night’s activity was dinner. I had a beef Chimichanga- very delicious. And of course, no Mexican meal would be complete without a few Margaritas that happened to be on sale for the low-low price of $2.00! What luck. We sat outside since it’s now warm enough to do so- thank goodness. That was a brutal winter! (Sarcasm…I grew up in Wisconsin). Well after dinner we did some Apopka “bar-hopping”. Choices were nil since Cooter Brown’s is pretty much the only bar in Apopka. So we went to Cooter Brown’s. If anyone is wondering- they are not hiring because the staff on hand has been there for six years now. Yup, it’s that kind of place. I will not tell Alisha this because it will crush her dreams and she currently has enough on her plate to be crushed about, namely, the flu.
So- that was Monday’s entertainment. Wednesday night the folks at Wekiva Island are hosting an artist night. At sunset a bunch of artists from all over are going to translate their perception of the sunset onto canvas or what-not. I’m excited to see how different (or similar) these depictions of the same event will be. After the sunset portrayal a live band will be performing. Should be a good time.
Thursday night after work I will be volunteering for a parenting class at the Hope CommUnity Center then after that perhaps another Gator’s expedition or maybe go down to Orlando, apparently Alisha’s friends from MPLS will be in town. That’d be fun to see some of her friends. Change it up a little bit.
If you’ve heard of the band Bright Eyes then you probably know about the town of Cassadaga! On Saturday (if Katie is feeling better) Emma, Katie, and I (and maybe some other lovely human beings) will be venturing there for some tarot card readings/palm readings, etc. It’s not a coincidence that I’m looking for little hints about my future ;-) Some may call it desperation, but I’d like to get a new outlook on life. Should be interesting!
Sunday, of course, is beach day! I think I will probably end up going to Daytona to see some friends from college that are down for spring break. I’m not sure yet. Hopefully Alisha will be feeling better so that she can come with. Man, it seems like everyone is getting sick these days.
It’s Tuesday. Wonderful. At least I have a lot to look forward to this week!
