Today was a day of great frustration.

I woke up around 11. I wanted to be productive, and the obvious response to this was to turn on the internet and catch up with my e-mail and webcomics and reading LJ's. After, I thought about starting to write my dissertation. I went back through the outline I had prepared to look at what sections I could start with. I realized that I wanted to go to one of the Inconvenient Satelite Libraries to check out some book. Only not checkout, because I can't, therefore the 'Incovenient' part. So I called them, to find out their hours.... Monday through Wednesday, 1 to 3. Yup, open a whole nine hours a week! I hate you NATCET library, and I haven't even met you yet :p So, since it was going on for 2 by this point (I'd organized my notes and stuff, and gotten dressed and everything, before I called), I decided that it wasn't really worth my time to go for an hour. I went to the bank, then and got out some cash to pay for laundry charges, and put in a load to wash. Then I set about working on my boot. And the thread kept breaking, much to my frustration. In fact, with not five sticthes to go to finish the damned thing, I ran out of thread, because it was breaking so much. Grr.

Fortunately, I know where to go to get more. I put my laundry in the dryer, and decided to go to said place and pick some up, and maybe buy a sleeping bag for this weekend/the rest fo the summer. unfortunately... the place was bloody closed! "Monday - Closed All Day" said their sign. 'Well, fuck,' I swore to myself. and wandered home, completely thwarted. I could have gone elsewhere to look for a sleeping bag, but didn't feel like it. Bleh. So I came home and worked on my hose a bit, and looked at some more websites with stuff that might berelevant to my dissertation, and sent an e-mail to a classmate... I also had dinner in there too, somewhere. I decided to have a short nap, too, before I went to dance class.

The next part of this is completely my fault. For one thing, I keep forgetting that my alarm clock has been running super fast lately. It's over half an hour fast, now! So when I woke up from my nap, and saw that it was 6, I thought I had to leave immediately. I need to have a whole hour before my class starts to get up to Mary's, collect her, and then make it to the gym on time. So, I actually left half an hour early... whihc is how long it takes me to get to her place. And I hadn't e-mailed or called her to see if she was going, either... she'd forgotten it was Monday, in fact, and opted out. Fair enough.... but it meant that I had a whole hour to kill and nothing to do! And I didn't actually realize it until I had already left Mary's, either, so I was stuck alone... Bleh. I walked out to the very edge of Sheffield, and then back to the class.

And then home! And onto the internet again, into the middle of an ic in progress... Not one I could jump into right away, either. Shortly afterwards, Hazel had to leave... gone for the rest of the week! My turn to be bored, I guess... especially since curtana will be away too, and ladyiolanthe has been working a lot of nights.... bleh. I'm tired now, though. maybe I'll go to bed early.

I haven't been feeling very well lately, either. I haven't been feeling *sick* either, though. Yesterday, until I took my shower, I would feel really light-headed... Not exactly dizzy, but something similar, whenever I got up to do anything. Tpday, it isn't so bad, but I think it is still there, just to an even lesser exten. Like, I can't concentrate under fluorescent lighting, for one thing. And I get tired more easily. Weird. Maybe it is the british version of allergies, which have been bugging me less here then they would at home. I don't think it is dietery... I've been trying to eat well, and I think I'm doing an okay job. Miao. Maybe it will pass.
