Friday

Happy Friday.

Yet again, I cannot even pretend. It's Friday. 4:36a.m. All week, I've put mself to bed before 2 because I am fighting some bug, but tonight, I felt better and I'd no clean clothes. So, laundry. Three loads - black, not black, and SURPRISE, pink. Yes. Well, pinkish. I now fully own that I'm going through a girlie phase what with the pink and the shiny. Maybe I'll ask for a pretty pink Huffy for my birthday.

After all the excitement of laundry, I cannot sleep. I tried and abandoned lying there awake. How could I when my blog-reading public has been so neglected? Did I use "lying" correctly? Is lying the act of being set down or is laying? Argh. Does anyone besides me care? I think lying is correct. Now I lay me down to sleep. Lying there awake.

Word of the day: usufruct. Say it with me now, usufruct. I came across this in a record of a conversation someone had with a borrower. Gotta love them legal words. According to the trusty M-W online, it's the right to use and/or enjoy the profits of something someone else owns. Usufruct. Great word.

Man. I turned in my 10th travel voucher yesterday. I've been here almost 11 weeks. Tawk amongst yerselves.

Sitting next to my right elbow is the three-inch thick Count of Monte Cristo. After 1085 pages I'm refusing to let myself finish it just now. I have 11 pages left. I want to read these eleven happy pages in a happy place - say, outside in the pre-dusk breezes, with a nice beverage in hand - not when my eyes feel too big for my head. So, I sit here, typing, tortured.

I'll try to go to sleep now. Enjoy your Friday.

Yes, it's Friday. Oh happy day. Perhaps you have something fun planned for the weekend. At least stimulating. We would love to see more pictures,even if it's your pink laundry.
