|Time| 9:58 AM
|Sound| "Savin' Me" Nickelback
|Habit| waking up early and not being able to sleep after that
|Feel| hungry and tired
|Think| I don't want to go to work today

I haven't been keeping up with this as much as I'd like, or really thought that I would. I don't know. I think about doing it, but then I just end up wasting my time I have when I'm not at work. I haven't even really been playing games with my time either. I did beat New Super Mario Brothers on the DS though. I guess at least that's one game finished. I am however still in the middle of Oblivion, Super Princess Peach, Hitman: Blood Money... I believe that will be all of the ones I was playing currently. Sean's going to kick my ass if I don't finish Oblivion. I really do like the game a lot (allot (inside joke for Sean in case he reads this)), but I just need to get back into it. The DoubleScreen games are to blame for that. I think I might go back to it on Monday and Tuesday. I'm going to force myself to go back to it. If I don't do it within the next month then I may as well just say goodbye to it. It'll end up just like Final Fantasy 7. I plan to go back to it one day and start over and actually finish it. That day is not now. I'm not even about to start another game right now. I'll finish Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart, and I even finished Blazing Dragons on Sega Saturn. I've finished a lot of games which were on any Nintendo, but I just can't seem to finish games on any other consoles.

Sean has bought games for me and said they were a waste since I didn't finish them, but I enjoyed them and could go back to them. He on the other hand finishes almost everything and even goes back and replays games a few times. I've done that with Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario 64 (plus I got all 120 stars), Maniac Mansion, Kirby's Adventure, Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle, Super Mario 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Is it sad that those are the only ones I've replayed fully through? I don't think so. Not to mention Mario Kart is always a game to go back to forever. Now I have played Goldeneye fully through and would have beaten it on all 3 difficulties for every level, but my game got messed up and it is impossible to beat certain levels. I even had someone who beat it fully try to beat one of the levels for me, and he couldn't do it and told me there was no way. I guess I could always try to beat it on Sean's cartridge. Mine rattles...

|Time| 10:40 AM
|Sound| "The Dark of the Matinée" Franz Ferdinand
|Habit| not getting up when my alarm goes off
|Feel| right side of my throat hurts, again
|Think| I need my tonsils out, at least my right one...

I've been working a bit lately. One of you assistant managers left to become store manager at the store she used to work at. It's just been me and my store manager for 3 weeks; this of course meaning that we each only got one day off a week. Short days are nice and all, but it's nice having full days off. I worked Sundays so she had that day off, but of course I only had a 6.5-7 hour shift there. She was working open to close on Tuesdays, which is a good 13 hours, so that I could have a day off. Our district manager was being slow about getting another manager in our store, and told us there was no way that he could send anyone from another store to help out any. That's about as good as him saying we can't be in the store by ourselves any, like the hour before we open and we used to just have a manager in the store before he became district, but then back in February he left me in the store by myself not just once, but twice for hours because he needed to leave. What if I had needed to go to the bathroom, or what if I cut myself on something in the store? I would have left the damn store by itself to go into the back and take care of that. He's such an ass.

There have been random ants in our small bathroom. I've been finding one or two on my outer shower curtain and then one or two in the tub. At first it was just one or two one day and then I wouldn't see any for maybe a week. Now it seems that I'm coming across at least one a day. Yesterday started me finding them in the master bathroom around the sink. Only one, but today there was one again. I didn't have any in the small bathroom though. We just had the bug guy out maybe a week or so ago too. Sean said it's nothing to worry about seeing as there are only like one or two at a time. But that just means that they're getting in frequently and that a whole bunch could just swarm the house. Not to mention the fact that if there are bugs, then there are spiders feeding on the bugs. Spiders freak me out. And I did happen across a little one in the bathroom the other day. I'm all for keeping ants out of the house, but not if it means spiders. I think I'm going to have to call the bug guy back out here to respray the bathrooms. He'll do it for free too since it's between visits since he comes and sprays every other month.

About two weeks ago, the right side of my throat started hurting. It kept up for probably five days. Then when I woke up this morning, the right side of my throat was hurting again. I wish I had had the chance to get my tonsils out when I was little. I probably would have hated and regetted it then, but it would have been better than instead of now. I think I need to go to the doctor for a check-up seeing as I haven't actually been to the doctor in over two years, excluding the gynecologist so that I can stay on birth-control pills. I also get these odd little bumps on certain areas of my hands and if broken open they contain some fluid. About two weeks ago (again) I had it worse than I ever have. I ended up with it on the outer side of both index fingers, on the inner side of both thumbs, and on the edges of my palms by both pinkie fingers. I'm really curious as to what is wrong with me. After that last time, I'm kind of thinking it comes about due to some really dry skin. I hate hand lotion though. I don't like having greasy/oily hands. I do have some that absorbs into the skin, but it's still isn't like I don't have anything on. Usually I'll only resort to that before I go to bed. I guess I'll have to suffer through some lotion use now...
