Progress!

[days_unfolding]

I overslept this morning and took a nap over lunch and overslept. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I need to fix that. I took my nighttime med for the first time in a few days, so that might be part of it.

Holy. Cow. I got a high A on the math final and an A in the class. I was expecting a B. It looks like I have an A in programming too. Wow. That'll help me when I apply to get a programming degree at the University of Illinois-Springfield, which is my ultimate goal. And it'll be free because I work for the University of Illinois.

My boss said that she was really glad that I joined their staff ("under some really challenging circumstances"), so that made me feel good. The staff is very generous with praise and are really nice people. I don't know how I lucked out.

Ran out to get library books. I stopped at Ace Hardware to look for a dill plant, and they had one! It was a little bigger than I wanted and a little more expensive, but I took it. I planted it when I got home. Ran into a neighbor at the mailbox and chatted briefly.

I officially have given up on feeding Zara the k/d food. I fed her the k/d, and she was looking so woebegone that I gave her the regular food. Eating is one of her great pleasures in life, and I don't want to deprive her. Plus I'm tired of throwing out expensive food. I tried. Oh crud, they already shipped the k/d order. Maybe I'll feed it to Mimi, who will eat anything.

I worked this evening to make up the time that I overslept. And I made my whopping mistake to balance all the times that I did well at answering questions. (I was trying to fix a printing problem and accidentally returned an interlibrary loan book.)

I'm going to get to sleep EARLY because clearly I haven't been getting enough sleep.
