asleep at the wheel

my sleep patterns have been quite erratic as of late. i blame this on a strange class and work schedule. M-R i don't have class until later in the day, but F i have a class at 9a. because of the later classes M-R, i sometimes work at 7a. so some weeks i wake up at 6a on any day from M-F. and then 7.45a on friday. sometimes it'll be T and W, some weeks it'll be just T or W some weeks it'll be on a M... it's just so confusing.

and then since saturday, (mainly just saturday through last night) i've had trouble falling asleep since my arm has been a bit sore from the new ink. it's just hard after some sessions, 'cos i'll be worked on in such a spot that makes laying in position difficult. and this last time, we worked on a complete 360° area of my arm. (not to mention the most sensitive parts of my arm, eg near my armpit, my inner arm, and the ditch of my elbow) it's looking amazing though! (of course) i just can't believe it'd been over 4 months since i'd had anything added to it!

in sad news. one of the baby cardinals has passed on. i'm not sure what happened exactly. i fed them a few nights ago, and both were in there, and then the next morning for feeding, one of them was gone. i'm guessing because they were both so young, it didn't take much of a fluctuation to do it in. sad nonetheless.

last night, i made this new recipe. it was kindof a pseudo-curried chicken dish. incredibly mild, and not something like i'd made before. it didn't turn out too bad! i upped quite a bit of the spices (ginger, turmeric) and added a few not called for (like some red pepper, and a bit of garam masala) i'm not sure how it would have tasted with out it! 'cos it was pretty "bland" as it was. (bland, not bad) i also added red bell pepper to it, 'cos i was feeling in the mood for bell pepper.

after dinner, i went against reason, and watched a movie instead of reading for a class. bad james!

was busy all day monday doing housework, putting stuff together.

have to really bite the bullet and get my homework done!

for now, i'm going to grab a quick bite to eat, and then take a shower for class. and then work.

sorry for such a lengthy entry, i still have more to fill in, but realized it was after 10.30.
