Just a little change . . .

I dyed my hair tonight, much darker than I usually dye it. It's now almost exactly my natural colour, except that I used a dark auburn dye so the red highlights are much more pronounced than they are naturally. It's odd, the way it looks both strange and familiar whenever I pass a mirror. I think I like it.

So yesterday, I felt great. I spent the day relaxing. Slept late, played some Animal Crossing went out because it was such a lovely day and window shopped for awhile. Decided to go see The Prince & Me on a whim and it was cute in a teenage girl fairy tale type of way, and just what I wanted to see. Came home, ate dinner, dyed my hair, played around online for awhile, played Mario Party with Christina, cuddled with the cats and went to bed.

Today I feel awful. Woke up early (for me) and couldn't get back to sleep, even though I was still tired. My stomach's been queasy all day and I wasn't able to eat much breakfast, although I'm still hungry. It's another beautiful day, but I can't enjoy it because I'm stuck at work. Work is, of course, two floors underground which usually doesn't bother me but today I'm feeling all claustrophobic. And I feel guilty for not getting anything really accomplished yesterday but at the same time totally unmotivated to get stuff accomplished today. In short, I'm feeling all the stress and guilt I *didn't* feel yesterday, plus a healthy dose for today.

I just want to fastforward about 2 weeks to the end of the semester.

Friday as I was walking to my car I saw a woman setting out cat food near where I found Robin. So I stopped to talk with her. Turns out she has one of Robin's siblings -- apparently she got her only a week or so after we got Robin. She's also seen the third sibling several times and confirmed my impression that she was nursing. We exchanged phone numbers and promised to get in touch if we ever managed to spot the actual kittens.

As if this day wasn't already bad enough . . .

Ran into a classmate and found out I had totally misunderstood the due date for one of my papers, and rather than being the last one due it's actually the first one due. So the papers are due the 26th, 27th, and 29th, not the 27th, 29th, and 30th like I thought. It also means that I'm behind where I should be in working on the one due the 26th, having been planning for the 30th.

And then of course I went to leave for break and noticed a big tear in the seam of my panelled skirt -- one that gave you a nice view of my underwear and upper thigh. And I have no idea when exactly it happened, except that it was fine when I left the house. So I may have been flashing the whole library for most of today.

I suck.
