I am so ready for tonight and tomorrow.  Tonight, well, I’m just not going to elaborate on, but I will elaborate on tomorrow.  Tomorrow, Thursday, I will be going to Chapel Hill at some point as there is a conference for work.  I’ll be staying overnight and when it gets over with on Friday, I won’t be coming back to work!    A vast majority of the office is going and I think it’ll be pretty fun, not necessarily the conference itself, but going!  I’m really looking forward to it!

So, I’m still tired from yesterday’s long trip to Columbia, SC for work.  Six hours of driving in one day is not what I like to think of as fun.  I was so tired to that I went to bed last night at 8:45.  I woke up at about 10:40 and was feeling around in my bed and I didn’t feel Sam, so I started to freak out.  I went to my sister’s room and asked if he was in the bed with her and he was.  Not sure why he got out of my bed, but that was one less thing I had to do this morning, take him out and then put him in her bed.  At first this morning, I felt fine.  I wasn’t really sleepy or anything, but the more I sit here at work, the more sleepy I feel… go figure!  I’ll more than likely fall asleep in class today… oh well, my professor says EXACTLY what is on the slides that we have access to.  So, I can always look at those if I do happen to fall asleep.  Well, I guess I had better try to do some work…

So today didn’t start off too great… I got a speeding ticket on my way to the gym…  Thank God that the officer was extra nice and helped me out… I had already known that I drive way too fast and it was pretty much a matter of time before I got a ticket…  So now I have to figure out what is best to do, to pay it off or to try to get it taken care of otherwise…  I am so thankful that the officer was as nice as he was… and that’s because I’ve never gotten a speeding ticket before, I’m sure.  From now on, I really have to watch my speed.  I’m going to be using cruise control more than I have before.  Well, I best get back to work!

So yesterday, I got some work done to my car, and now I’m official broke for the next few months… I expected four to maybe five hundred dollars but not $727.  Needless to say, I was shocked but figured that the work really needed to be done…  Guess this may cut into Christmas presents for people…  And this will cause me to stop being what I am, a shopaholic… I’ve known for some time that I have a shopping addiction and hopefully this will cause me to stop!  I’ve got to learn to start saving more money.  If I ever want to be able to buy a car or any other big thing, I need to have some money saved so I can make a down payment, etc.  Welcome to the Real World, Jonathan!
