A Wraith

So, it has come to my attention that I have become such a creature – a wraith.

I got a comment on my last entry basically asking if I had died. (Thanks, Betty. I <3 you, too.) But - no. I am not dead! I am not! I just - I'm not sure. But - here I am. Alive and kicking. I swear life as you know it, for this teacher anyway, has not ended. I'm going to put the details after the flame, so click on that to read. Otherwise - I'm back! Fear not!

The Long, Short, and Tired of It

Work’s been a bit on the rough side. Long hours have re-commenced. The director of the Fall Musical (hell, the Fall straight play too) came and begged me to come back and watch over the stage crew kids. How could I say no? They had nobody. Poor kiddos. I felt bad. And I <3 them. I do. So, I'm back doing that, though sharing it with another co-worker. But the show opens on the 4th of November. So - that means extra-long hours. Even on All Hallow's Eve - my favoritest day of the year - I'll be at work until 20:30. That's 8:30 pm for you non-Euopean/non-military types. Hell. You Americans. XD I think the US is the only country NOT on the 24-hour clock. Er, us Americans. I'm one too. But Mom worked for the military eons and eons ago, so she routinely used the 24-hour clock. Anyway. I'm sad. I wanted to go out to dinner in costume. Maybe I still will. I'll have to root someone up for it. Tuesday is a grading day, so - I can sleep in some. Anyway. Back to the point. Work has been long. So I’m tired. Very tired. And when I get tired, the fact that I am still single, still not dating gets to me and makes me cranky. The only guys that *want* to date me live hundreds or thousands of miles away. What’s up with that. Gah. So THAT makes me all listless and bleh. And the roommate is going to move out. No, I don’t have to move out, but I will be moving across the hall to her room. It’s bigger. Yay. Note: Tell the Bro I need a new TV/VCR for Christmas. Double Note: No, I don’t need what Katie got. And the quarter ends on Monday, so that means that I have to grade my butt off to get things finished. Evil. I think, overall, I’m just tired. And most of my bloggy friends are happily married. Wow. I just realized that. Yikes. Maybe that’s why I vanished. Loneliness hates happiness. Don’t know why. Just does. Weird. So – anyway. That’s life as we know it. Someone help me throw crap out.
