Homework, Homework, Homework

and oh yeah... i forgot, HOMEWORK!

That is what my life has consisted of since Friday. I am still playing catch-up from being sick and it is driving me bananas.

Friday was an ok day at work. The EL left Thursday on Alaskan Cruise Vacation and wont be back until June 1st. For the first time since April 18th, I felt free to go to the bathroom without her counting every time I walk past her office door. G & H and I went out to eat for lunch. It is good to get out of the office at least once a week. We went to Subway, it was ok.

Friday, I went home and made it to my apartment complex office before the Natzis locked the doors. They had had two packages held hostage in there for a while. One of them was a new vacuum cleaner I had ordered off of woot! Then I sat down to watch Wheel of Fortune and the next thing I knew it was 9:##pm and my mother was calling and waking me up. I woke up and put the vacuum cleaner together and cleaned the carpet in my apartment for the first time since I moved in (and probably longer than that since the place was filthy when I moved in.)

Saturday, I took my VUE to Saturn for a much needed oil change and to get my dumb keyless remote fixed. First they tried to tell me I was out of warranty, which I knew was wrong. For some reason it wasn't showing up on their computer. So I got to call Janie B at Saturn in Waco and get her to fax over my SATURN extended warranty. Then they inform me that they had to order me a new remote and that I could come back next Saturday to pick it up. Well, heck... it only took me 4 weeks to get here, and now I have to go back two Saturdays in a row? Ugh!

After the trip to Saturn, I dropped by a bakery in Plano that I had been hearing about. It's called Delicious N Fit. They offer sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free cakes (as well as many other allergen-free products. I was interested in going there for a few reasons. I am supposed to be working on a research paper due in two weeks on sugar-free cooking. Also, I wanted to see what kind of gluten-free products they had for my buddy SillyNessa. I bought a package of sugar-free gluten-free chocolate chip cookies and they weren't half bad. We all would probably be healthier if we started following Nessa's diet. And, my aunt Jackie and my dad are both diabetics. I am planning a trip to Waco the weekend I get out of school and we are going to celebrate my mother and aunt Jackie's birthdays. I wanted to see how much the sugar-free cakes were and how much notice they needed before I was to pick it up.

After the bakery, I drove to the only DFW location of McAlister's Deli. This is the place that I managed in Waco for 10 months. Ever since I moved here I had been craving a California Classic and some sweet tea. I used to eat at McAlister's at least once a day every day between August 2003 and November 2004. You would think I would have gotten tired of it, but as a manager I could go in the kitchen and play and make up something different to eat every day. I didn't mind going to the one here in Dallas since it is not part of the same franchise that I was employed by. I'm also glad I ate there so I can quit craving it.. because it wasn't nearly as good as I remembered it.

Saturday after running errands I went home, sat down in front of the computer and started working on homework. 2am Sunday morning I finally went to bed because I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer.

I actually slept till nearly noon on Sunday and then I got up and started homework again. I also worked on a couple of piles of laundry and cooked dinner for the first time in who knows how long. Again, it's 2am.. I'm finally going to bed.

And, no.. I didn't finish all my homework.
