Sore Throat

I have a sore throat tonight – part of the cold I’ve been battling.  It feels worse now because I haven’t had anything to drink for a few hours because no one has come in to give me a break.  My soda is in the refrigerator in the breakroom.

Have a bad headache too but that is from all the computer work I’ve been doing tonight.  I think I am finally done and can sit back to relax the rest of the shift now except for whatever the guys call in.  Hopefully they will keep it to a minimum.

I get off at 7am and need to go home to pack a few things for my trip to Des Moines.  I will have to do a load of laundry, get the dogs packed up to take to my son’s house, go get the car and be back to work by 3 pm.  Not going to get much sleep till I get off at 11pm tomorrow night.  I will have to be up about 5:30 to be on the road by 6am so I can make sure I get to the class in plenty of time – it starts at 8am.  Hmmm…maybe I should be up at 5am.

We were told the parking spots are extremely limited so it is first come first served.  I figure if I can get there early everyday than there won’t be a problem.  Of course, I’m sure everyone is thinking that way.  Would like to check into the hotel first but can’t because checkin isn’t until noon.  Always something.

I’m not looking forward to this class – I don’t know why.  I was before but not now and I think the difference is that I’m so tired right now.  Going means trying to change my sleep patterns again so I can stay awake in class – I don’t understand the people who think changing sleep patterns is so easy.  It takes me weeks to get use to a new schedule.  Guess I’ll be drinking a lot of caffeine.
