eleanor rigby, dear prudence, fool on the hill

It's a gorgeous day outside and I don't care.

I feel like crap.

The dog is barking upstairs and I don't care.

I have to leave for work in an hour. I wish I could say I didn't care. I like working at the restaurant, really I do, but I'm this close (imagine my fingers pinched together) to quitting. The money is great, but I'm absolutely exhausted. Even after calling out sick on Friday, I'm still working more than fifty hours this week ... and trying to keep up with my classes ... it's too much. I want to go to Phoenix. I want to play with Dozer. I want to sleep in a room with windows and ride in a car with air conditioning. I want to go to the movies. I want to see my friends again. I want to lay out on the deck and tan. I want to play in my garden.

I want free time again!

I feel like my whole body is wearing down.

I drove into Flagstaff today. The weather is perfect and the Beatles were on the radio and I knew the combination would normally make me smile, but I couldn't even fake it. I've got a sore throat and I'm tired from the inside out. I was already in town when I remembered that I have quiz due today--so I turned around and rushed back to do it before work. So much for a morning of nothing.

I really, really, really need a break.

I am also feeling under the weather, in fact ever since the "nose" issues on Wednesday I have not felt 100%...I think I will stay home tomorrow, I wish you could do the same (take a day off of both jobs and school, and get some rest)...blah blah blah...I need some tylenol, and something for my plugged up nose..
