I'm drawing a blank on what I should write tonight.

5 months and 8 days in to the year and I'm still holding steady with the daily entries. I will see if I can do two months in a row where I write something every day.

Work was ... work. Nothing too special with that. It was my Friday so I'm happy about that. No plans for tomorrow, but I'm hanging out with a friend on Saturday. I am going to try to be there for only 4 or 5 hours, 6 at most. I have no problems with her, but her children annoy me. All children annoy me, but most of the time exposure is limited. Constant exposure for longer periods of time and my patience wears even more thin than it already is. Which is why I don't want to spend all day there.

I'm cooking up my stuffed biscuits right now. They're stuffed with ham, turkey and a variety of shredded cheeses. Then I sprinkled Italian seasoning, garlic and onion powder on top so they should turn out tasty. After they're done I'll be showering and getting settled for the night.

I guess that's all I've got for today. I can't think of anything else to type up.

Until tomorrow. . .

I have a pretty bad headache right now. This won't be long.

Training wasn't too bad. It was still massively annoying. I have to do the same again tomorrow. Luckily tomorrow is my Friday.

I thought the headache was caused by dehydration, but I have been drinking a bunch of water and I'm using the bathroom frequently enough so I'm fairly sure I'm not dehydrated.

I think it might have something to do with my eyes. It's been a couple years since my last eye exam. Perhaps tomorrow I will schedule an appointment. I received a recommendation for an eye doc so that's helpful. I'm going to see if I can schedule the appointment for the 17th since that's when I get paid next. Since it's an eye doc and it's a week out, I should have no issues scheduling it for then. Fingers crossed.

Anywho, I am probably going to go to bed early. Perhaps sleeping will help the headache. The nap I took earlier helped a little, but not enough to make it go away. Ugh. It's not a comfortable feeling.

Until tomorrow. . .

It cooled off quite a bit over night. I left my windows open and my fan on. I woke up around 4am and it was quite cold so I turned my fan off and curled up under the blankets for another hour. When I woke up at 5, I glanced at the thermostat and noticed that the temp had dropped almost 20 degrees inside my room in a matter of only 9 hours. I was never happier to wake up cold.

Today it didn't even get to 70, despite the fact that the sun came out around noon. It warmed my room up to around 74, but it has since dropped a few degrees already. I will be able to sleep without my fan tonight. I'll even be able to close my other window over some so that the curtains won't blow around like crazy with the wind that we appear to have right now.

Tomorrow is supposed to be the coolest day of the week so if it didn't even get to 70 today, then it definitely won't tomorrow. At least that's what I'm hoping for. The more it cools off inside my room, the longer it'll take for it to warm up once it starts warming up again outside.

Work was a lot slower today than yesterday, which was nice. There were just enough calls to pass the time. Tomorrow will be a fairly busy day simply because I'll be training a new person. I hate training, but supposedly he's coming from a different site so he kind of already knows the basics: how to answer calls on the radio, how to lock/unlock doors, etc. Still, I don't care how badass you are, I hate training. Even my two favorite people that I ever worked with, I hated training them. It's not the person I hate training. It's the action of training that I hate. Mostly because it forces me to work when I would otherwise be hiding out or socializing. But that's beside the point.

Anywho, this is kind of a longer entry, but it has taken me all of 7 minutes to type up everything that I've written. I will be watching at least one more video before I call it a night. Hopefully with this cool air coming through, I'll be able to sleep soundly and get some rest before having to deal with work tomorrow. And you'll probably hear {read} all about it in tomorrow's entry too.

Until then. . .

We had 4 reports to do today. 3 standbys and an accident. I didn't get a single patrol in. By the time 2 came around, I was so ready to be out of there. I will go grocery shopping either tomorrow or the day after. It really depends on how busy it is tomorrow. To give you an idea as to how busy that is, we usually get around 3-5 standbys per month and maybe one accident report every few months. I hope to never have a day like this again and if I have to have it again, then let it be like 6 months from now.

It got up to 87 today which caused it to get to 83 in my room. It's supposed to be cooling off a bit tomorrow so hopefully it gets really windy tonight and super cools my room. I'd be more than happy to wake up in the middle of the night from the wind having cooled off my room than to wake up sweating because it's too damn hot outside.

I'm already getting tired. I think the combination of the heat, the shower and the fan blowing on me, it's making me drowsy. There really isn't much else for me to write about anyway.

Until tomorrow. . .

You remember a couple months ago how I said that Mother Nature hadn't gotten the memo that Spring had started and it shouldn't be snowing 3 days in to it? Well, she got the memo and is reacting with some sarcasm: "you wanted warmer, fine, have hot."

It's 84 degrees outside right now. A full 20 degrees above 'average' for this time of year. It'll be this hot, possibly hotter, tomorrow as well. At least my fan blows cool air in my direction. I'll probably be buying another one sometime in the next week or so because I have a very strong feeling this will not be the last of the heat waves that we see.

The awkwardness between me and Jacob is still there. I can tell something is out of place with him, but he just keeps telling me he's tired. I think I'll leave him alone the next few days and wait till he's feeling better before I make any further attempts at a conversation. I hate the awkwardness.

I need to go grocery shopping tomorrow. I will be making a new variation on the stuffed biscuits. I'll be using turkey and ham and cheese as the filler. I want something a little less greasy and this will be a good solution. I may even get some pesto to add to it. I just thought of something. . . I can cook up spaghetti and use that as a filling! I wonder how that would taste. There are so many varieties I can use as a filling for the stuffed biscuits. I think I'll also stick with the mini ones because they're more bite sized, even after cooking.

If you have ideas, please share!

I think I'll leave it there for today.

Until tomorrow. . .

I got my Mother's Day gift shipped out today. It should arrive some time later next week. I also bought more laundry detergent and a dust pan for my place. I was going to buy some tall wedges today {to get used to walking in that kind of height,} but they didn't have the ones I wanted in my size. I said that I would order them online, but in actuality, I will probably wait until I'm in the mood for them again. Or I may try a different location. Perhaps the store Downtown will have them.

It's the same temperature inside my place as it is outside my place, but it feels slightly cooler simply because I have my blinds closed. It's still pretty warm, though. Sleeping tonight should be interesting. I hope it cools down some once the sun sets. I may be breaking out my fan tomorrow after work.

I tired to have a completely stress free weekend, but that didn't happen. I feel bad about taking my frustration out on Jacob. I was really sure of something, but when I realized I was wrong, I kind of took it out on him because he kept telling me that I was wrong and he was right. I apologized, but it didn't really make me feel better. It sucks, but it happened and I tried to move past it. Now it's back to that kind of awkwardness that I haven't felt in a while.

Tomorrow will be a hide inside kind of day at work. They're expecting temps to reach the 80s. Of course, that won't happen until after I'm done with my shift, but still. Hopefully it cools off enough in my room tonight/tomorrow morning to help a little bit with the heat.

Alright, I've got a couple hours to kill before I need to attempt to sleep for work tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be cool enough for me to sleep. I've been up for over 12 hours at this point so I know I'll certainly be tired enough.

Until tomorrow NuTang. . .
