Cold and hot, getting ready

Our heat went out the night before last. We have those old fashioned radiators. They work great and keep the house toasty...usually. I woke up during the night on Friday night and noticed that it was pretty cold in the house, but I was too tired and lazy to climb out of bed and turn up the thermostat. In the morning, I turned up the heat, but nothing seemed to be happening. I went to dance at 9 o'clock. When I got home, it wasn't any warmer...and had probably gotten a lot colder. It was 60 degrees inside (and 29 outside) when the SO finally called the guy who takes care of the building. We tried a few things, and at 4 o'clock it was apparent that nothing was really working. They called in a furnace guy who had to replace out thermostat. Finally, we had a warm house again. Warmth is good considering how much I absolutely hate to be cold.

I spent the day trying to get the house in order because I go back to school tomorrow. I did three loads of laundry, cleaned out the fishbowl (I am fish-sitting for a friend), organized the bedroom and kitchen a bit. I also had to go through my backpack and get it organized again. I was amazed at how much trash I pulled out of it, and things that I had accumulated during the semester but really didn't need to carry. Now it's organized.

I drove over for dinner this evening, and managed to catch up with a couple of friends. That was cool. I also went and looked at the zip cars. I have one reserved for tomorrow (and as it turns out it is the one that has NOT had the snow cleaned off of it). I wanted to see where they were and just check in. I'm going to go over first thing in the morning before I eat breakfast or go to my first class and clean it off. Once I get out of my last class, I have exactly 30 minutes (including getting out of class and to the car) to make a solid 30 minute drive. I don't think it's going to happen anyways , but having to clean off and defrost the car would set me even further behind.

Last night, I was up until about 5:30 am. I don't really know why. I've been staying up progressively later and later. That HAS to stop tonight. I have to be up at about 6:30 so that I can be over at the college at 7 for breakfast, or close to it anyways. I may have to drug myself to sleep tonight. I have a couple more hours until then though, so maybe I'll get tired. I did only sleep about 4 hours last night though. Maybe I'll get lucky.

Hopefully school goes well for me tomorrow.
