Friday was a l-o-n-g day.

Thursday’s I wake up at 5:30 AM (as usual) then go to work until 5:00 PM, then drive to Schoolcraft and attend class until around 10:00 PM and finally go home.

You would think I just slink into sleep, but, no! I am hungry (having missed dinner) and wired from class. So I don’t fall into a broken sleep until like 1:00 AM or so.

So, Friday always sucks...

I was yawning and drinking a lot of coffee all afternoon. I actually went outside and walked around for a while, just to try and stay awake.

Back home after work, I scraped most of the old plumber’s putty off the ring around the drain, using a painter’s knife. Then I used the steel wool I bought at a hardware store at lunch to clean up the rest. I want to start the installation with a clean surface.

I returned a voicemail from a friend and we chatted for a bit. Then I went in to watch the NBC Nightly News.

Somewhere during the news, I fell asleep, which meant I missed a phone call from my brother Carl. I felt bad, but will call him back over the weekend.

I slept until almost midnight. Then I made a sandwich (to make up for the lost dinner) and ate that watching late night TV. But, bored, I started going through my closet and pulling out old, “fat” shirts and pants I want to donate to the Salvation Army. I hung on to them thinking this weight-loss was just a fluke, but since it seems its not, I don’t need them.

I tried reading, but that didn’t result in sleep either so I just stayed up, writing my weekend ToDo list, checking out recipes, etc., and finally writing out this Blog post at this ungodly hour (for a weekend).
