so i have four more days of training academy. this morning, however, the only things on the schedule were reading a couple sections in the scom (shuttle crew operations manual) and doing a cbt (computer based training) lesson. since those don’t require my physical presence in the building, i’ve elected to stay home and do my reading here. i can’t do the cbt from here because i can’t get to the internal network, but i’ll just do it later this afternoon. it’s sort of a nice feeling to be home on a monday morning, so i’m full taking advantage.
i slept until 9:00, skipping fitness class, in an attempt to fend off the cold that is trying to invade my head. i seem to get colds about four times a year; basically, every time the season changes. summer to fall is the worst, because it’s usually such a sudden change. hot one day, cold the next. in the past, i’ve had little hope of escaping these inevitable colds because i’ve been in school, and have never been getting enough sleep. here, however, i have hopes of preventing it. for five days now i’ve been feeling slightly achy and run-down, but it hasn’t developed into the full-blown stuffy nose yet. yesterday i woke up with a bad sore throat, so i took it easy and slept 9 hours last night. today my throat still hurts, but my nose is still free of snot and that’s a good thing. i think another extensive night of sleep tonight is in order.
anyway. just in case you all cared about my health.
as i said, i didn’t do anything yesterday. not a thing. i had been planning on cleaning, but i didn’t. i am such a procrastinator when it comes to cleaning my apartment; i’m always saying i’m going to clean, and rarely actually cleaning. and i do little bits at a time, so it seems like there is always something else that needs to be done, and by the time i finish the rounds, the first thing needs to be cleaned again. woe is me, it’s an endless cycle. ah well. that’s life. or rather, that’s me.
i can’t believe it’s november already.
