Happy November 2nd, All Soul's Day, and Monday morning! I feel very energized this a.m. - it's one of those weird paradoxes that don't make sense: how does one run off of very little sleep but bound around as though completely rested? Why does being overtired make me feel giddy and carefree momentarily? Strange, but I'm definitely appreciating it on this Monday morning! I'm letting you know right now though that I'll be more than ready for a power nap this afternoon before heading off to work.
So how is life here at good 'ol MMC? Well, my phone is playing with the idea of "falling back" an hour. It decided not to conform for the majority of yesterday, tried out the whole time change thing for a couple of hours early last night, and then decided it preferred the old time early this a.m. Maybe it thought it was funny to play with my tired mind - when it's 2 a.m and your phone says it's 3 a.m., it gives you a bit of a panicky feeling. And now? My stubborn phone is still adamantly holding on to the old time. It's probably trying to pull me forward and push me along in this crazy thing we call life. :)
I decided to get up and run at 7 a.m. this morning. It was brisk out, but not freezing at all..beautiful actually. The sunrise is definitely timeless and the whole time change thing allowed me to run into it before heading off to microbiology class.
And in microbiology, I learned oodles of fascinating and somewhat disturbing information about the power of microbes. For your information, all of you cheese eaters are consuming blocks of living bacteria. In fact, food is bacteria, bacteria makes life possible and kills us, the concept of waste water treatment and bacteria involvement is really kind of involved (and just gross), and even that purified drinking water you are holding in your hand is a container full of bacteria. So, have a love, hate relationship with the little guys. Some are your friends, others are just random, harmless acquaintances, and there are those evil ones too....
So, here at the start of November, I am a bit sleepy, but energized by endorphins and sunsets, swimming in bacteria but kind of okay with it (ehhh....??? that one is questionable still), stressed that I work at the pharmacy both tonight and tomorrow (you know, there are some rude people you sometimes encounter in this world...I encountered a few yesterday afternoon at work..), but ready for the end of Tuesday night when I can say I survived six successive days of work without neglecting schoolwork too horribly, and marveling at life in general - forever amazed by great friends.
Count your blessings this week, sing a November song, chase a sunset and play off of endorphins. OH!!! AND CHEER FOR THE ELGIN POPE JOHN CRUSADERS as they take on Bloomfield in the 2nd round of Nebraska high school football state playoffs Wednesday night!!! If I can manage to get away, I'll be there cheering for my little brother Jeffrey (it's in Elgin, so my blogging fan faithful...if there are any of you...are more than welcome to come on down to cheer in person). He's pretty much a football stud and making the most of his senior season. There's nothing like the intensity of a good eight-man football game. :) See you there! :P
