• Could not fall asleep until 6 am. Did not wake up until 1 pm. Must get sleep schedule back on track!
• Took yesterday off from thesis because I'd been working on it ten days straight and was going to go mad if I didn't have a 24 hour period where I didn't have to write the words 'community,' 'group,' or 'movement'.
• Had planned on going to yoga tonight in Winnipeg Beach, but class is cancelled because instructor is out of town. Will definitely go next Tuesday.
• EI is temporarily suspended while they try to figure out how my student status impacts payment. Not happy about that.
• It's supposed to be sunny and hot here for the next five days. Yay for Indian summer!
• Bought Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie at the used book store. Couldn't find any Sunny Randall or Jack Reacher books.
• Trying a new hair detangler spray by Herbal Essences. Really wish I could afford Aveda.
• Bought the wrong heads for my electric toothbrush. Not pleased, because they can't be returned and that's $20 I actually need right now. Also, don't seem to be able to get ones I need in Gimli. God, do I miss Shoppers!
• Family dinner in Winnipeg tomorrow night. No good reason for me not to go. Really don't want to go.
• Must work on conclusion today. Not at all in the mood. Then again, I don't think I've been in the mood to work on anything academic since at least 2006.
• Woke up yesterday intensely craving bright colours. It's hard to explain, but life just felt so grey, and I wanted to brighten it up. Wrote letters in bright ink, but I really wish I had all my stamping stuff with me, and also money to buy colourful new fall clothes.
• Not entirely sure how to best start day when I wake up at 1 in the afternoon. I made the bed. I'm thinking my next step should be to get out of my bathrobe.
