sooo tired.

• I’m exhausted.
• Like as in, I’ve been not-functional-exhausted for a few days now. I get up, I do some work. And then? By lunchtime I feel like I will just die if I don’t nap. So I nap. For HOURS.
• On Tuesday I sat down just for a minute and the next thing I knew I’d slept through all of my office hours. Good thing there weren’t students who were trying to get into my hours.
• Yesterday I slept for 2.5 hours in the middle of the day.
• And I still went to bed around 10:30. (It’d have been earlier except that there was some campus safety hoopla on campus and that kept me up.) And I slept until 7 this morning…and didn’t get up until just before 8.
• The good news? Today is the first time I haven’t had a headache in about a week and a half. And I’m awake still. I’m tired, but I’m not dead tired the way I was the past few days. So maybe I was just a little sick and I didn’t know it?
• Maybe.
• In other news…
• I think I just got promoted on Monday. I mean, it’s not official yesterday, but I heard the vote went well. Woot! Another step on the scale and some more money in my pay check. (At the UCs there are steps to be promoted through within each rank.)
• This makes me think that I’m pretty much definitely going to go with going up for tenure not next year, but the year afterwards.
• I had coffee with my division head yesterday and he confirmed that going up early was a good plan.
• So until then, or at least for the next year, I need to be productive to get things out the door and done up right. And then, maybe I’ll be moved along to that tenured space.
• Tomorrow I have a surprise date with that guy from before. I don’t know about surprise dates for the second date. But we’ll see. Maybe it’ll be a good surprise. Maybe.
• Last night I went to a test kitchen for dinner, and it was super cool. The food was amazing. It only cost $5 for dinner. And you needed a password to get in, and you ate in the living room of the peoples’ place. Mmmm! I’d totally go again. It was Asian-Latin fusion type food, and it was so flavorful and tasty.
• The dog is protesting his food. For about a week now he has not eaten any of his food unless it’s given to him in an activity ball or strewn on the floor. Then he’s more interested. But still only marginally. And apparently he’s caught on to the fact that he’s being tricked into eating his food because yesterday he hid the activity ball feeder, and now I can’t find it.
• The only time he eats voraciously is when Shiloh comes over. Michele brings Shiloh’s food with Shiloh whenever Shiloh comes over (Shiloh is also not eating.) Then when the two of them are together they go crazy for each other’s food. It’s crazy. They eat like maniacs. And we think they totally hold out on us with their own food in hopes that they’ll get each other’s food. The best part? They eat the EXACT same food. Apparently they just like the conquest. Dumb.
