I have discovered that my husband has decided to read my blog. Welcome to the blogosphere, babes. :)
Thus far, my morning/afternoon have been uneventful. I actually stayed up until 8 AM reading. I'm still reading The Cider House Rules because it's really long. It's also crazy enjoyable, and I'd recommend it to anyone. Very good stuff. I'm glad that my former co-workers saw fit to loan/give it to me. (Ed gives people so much stuff that I'm never sure if he's loaning me something or giving me something. Regardless, I really love that he does it.)
Being that I stayed up so early/late, I slept until almost 3 PM. I really need to work on my sleep schedule crap. Otherwise, when I start my semester back up, it's going to hit me like a ton of bricks. I'll probably spend the first two weeks freaking out about not getting my shit together or getting enough sleep or a host of other ridiculous worries.
At any rate, about an hour after waking, my mother came upstairs and requested that I go outside and help with yard work. Now, anyone who knows me well knows that I hate yard work. I hate the sun, the bugs, and the dirt. I hate sweating. I have to admit, though, it was kind of nice to start the day out sweating and follow it up with a cold shower. I went outside bitching about hating nature and work, and I came inside feeling like I actually accomplished something and got some exercise. It kind of turned my mood around, surprisingly.
I did discover something odd about myself, though. When I'm hot after work like today's outdoor endeavor, I usually opt to take a cold shower to cool down. For the first time, I noticed that I make little noises when I'm under the cold water. They're something similar to the noises that I make during sex, little oohs and ahhs. In fact, I'm pretty sure the easiest way for me to simulate my own sex noises when not having sex would be to get ridiculously hot and worked up and then put myself under cold water. Why this happens to be true, I have no idea. Just another random Jessica fact! (Not that anyone needed to know...)
I'm going to go be unproductive elsewhere. I have to sleep at a decent time tonight because I have a dental appointment tomorrow. Yikes. I'm not looking forward to more dental work, but keeping my teeth is important to me, so I'll go with it.
