It's Always Something...

Work these past three days has been hectic beyond belief. I come home exhausted and frazzled. And the testament to me being overworked... I made a mistake picking up Choctaw and got bit. Add alligator bite to my list of cool things that have chomped me I guess. I feel like such a dork, I should know better then to pick up a gator less then 10 minutes after I fed him. Sigh... it is swollen but not too bad, so long as I keep it from infecting it should be fine. Heck of a conversation piece though.

I feel terribly asymmetrical today. And I am not speaking in my usual unbalanced emotional sense. My right eye swelled shut last night. After soaking and anti-allergy pills it has reduced to a heavy puffiness. It is sore and aggravating my depth perception. I hope that it returns to normal before tomorrow night.

Speaking of tomorrow night, I cannot wait to get to Octoberfest!!! It is going to be such a blast! The weather is supposed to be great (*crosses fingers*) and the turnout should be enormous. I am looking forward to long days of hard core fighting followed by long nights of relaxing and revelry. Bellydancing and back rubs, here I come!

And in the mean time, I have to stress myself to the limit so that I will fully enjoy the vacation, at least that is how it seems. I have a huge test, a preliminary bug collection, and 2 papers due before tomorrow night and I still have to pack on top of it! But there is this sense of calm within me today that reassures me that I will get it done. I feel a lot better about the big freaking test after Eric helped me study last night... I just retain things so much better when I am saying them out loud to someone. And he is a champion of a friend, letting me bore him with buggy details. It was lovely just sitting and talking with him, too bad my eye had to explode... But it is always something isn't it.

And thank you to everyone that sent me huggles when I needed them the other day.
And here are some back...
Huggles!

*Twitch twitch*

I. Hate. Identifying. Insects. With. A. Passion.

I think I am going to burst a vein my blood pressure is so high! Not only are these directions for identifying terribly cryptic and the bugs too small to see but they keep falling apart! Arg! I don't know how I will ever id 60 of them...

Sigh, help, at least send hugs...
