oof

I've had a hell of a week.  So much so that I can barely remember what's happened.  I know I went to class, my meetings, did homework, cooked, cleaned, studied, slept a little, and drank a heck of a lot of water.

Yesterday I had a job interview.  On the one hand, I really need it and really hope I get it.  On the other hand, if I do, I won't be able to use the store's customer coupons as long as I'm an employee, which is going to cost me a TON of money when I have to buy my clothes and presents elsewhere.  Yesterday I went shopping there before my interview (a sort of "last dance" thing in case I do get hired and can't use coupons anymore) and got $70 worth of clothes for $17 - and if I'd bought it elsewhere it would've cost me $411!!!  That sort of savings is HUGE for me and I won't be able to do it if I get hired.  Oh well.  There are worse things.

Today might have been the worst start to a Saturday ever. I got up at 7 am so I could leave at 8 and see the opening performance at Ren Fest. Leave on time, but my Garmin took me to middle of nowhere. I tried the alternate location I'd programmed in it only to realize (three minutes away) that I left my ticket in my apartment. So I had to drive all the way back and then drive BACK to Ren Fest.  Over two hours of driving for something that should've taken 40 minutes tops.  Grrr.

I had a very nice time at Ren Fest though.  Didn't buy anything except beer and food (I got a sausage on a stick and it was quite tasty - much spicier than I expected!), because I'm going twice more and I want to just look around until I'm perfectly sure I REALLY want something and am willing to shell out my increasingly precious dosh for it.

There was a flask I agonized over, but it was $130.  I mean really.  Do you know how much beer that is??  There's just no way I could justify buying that.

I left around 3:30 because I was feeling quite ill.  I should've worn my shady hat, even though it wouldn't have exactly "gone" with my dirndl, or spent more time in the shade.  I came home, had a burger, and went up to bed.  Two hours later I still had a headache, despite my nap, so I took a pill and put an ice pack on my head.  I'm feeling MUCH better now, thankfully, because I wanted to enjoy my Saturday night.  I didn't last week because I got sick, and I hate it when that happens!

Anyway, Gators are playing, and doing reasonably well, although they're making me nervous because of some stupid things, like not wrapping up a tackle and letting the guy get five more yards and a first down after contact.  So I'm going to end this, watch them, and maybe get more ice for my head.
