"Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart..."

[felis_ultharus]

For the record, I don't exist on Tuesdays. I phase out of existance. I refuse to exist on this plane on Tuesdays, because that would mean trying to balance the reading and writing necessary before any one of my grad classes, and the 8 million tasks and crises of daily life.

The world refuses to listen to this basic rule. Every crisis imaginable lands in my lap, invariably, on a Tuesday -- today it was a long talk with a landlord pleading for time to regulate the problem of my roommate's rent cheque bouncing. It was a cashflow problem, but the roommate is in Spain, I don't have enough money in my account to cover the rent without a transfer of funds.

And that conversation ate into my preparation time for the big project I had going on Susanna Moodie, Margaret Atwood, and Carl Jung -- which fortunately came off without a hitch, in spite of my only getting to it 48 hours before it was due.

And also, every social activity I could ever want attend happens on a Tuesday. The six other days of the week -- when I do exist -- do not seem to exist for other people.

(After my project, I would just like to crash and sleep for the rest of the week. Of course, since The-Place-Where-I-Don't-Work has called me in for an all-morning shift tomorrow, that's not happening.)

I have a day this week when I would like to do some socializing with you. Just call me, and tell me which day it is.

You need a vacation in a big way. *sympathetic hugs*

I am with you completely on the crashing-and-sleeping. I managed to sleep for all of about four hours last night and today was utterly insane at work, mainly because there are now 600,000 kids in BC who need somewhere to go while the schools are closed and a large number of them seem to have decided to head for the library. The whole day seemed to pass in about three minutes flat, and I was so tired by the time I got home that I had to skip kickboxing. That never happens.

Hey, talking of social activities, we meant to ask you if you're planning on coming to BC for Christmas again this year. If so we were wondering if you'd like to stay with us in Van for at least part of the visit. :)
