it's gonna take me a lot to drag me awayyyyy from youuuu

Working days on end has its advantages (big paycheck, winnnn) but I'm getting pretty tuckered out. I'm ten days in at this point - granted I only work half shifts - but you can only see the same people so many times before you start going crazy. The smallest things have started bothering me: I ran out of disbursement tickets and had a mini-fit this morning because I had to walk back down the hall to get another pad; someone crept up on a nurse and made a really obnoxious noise and I nearly had a conniption...

All I want to do when I go home is curl up in bed and watch television. I say, everyday, that I'm going to clean my room - nope, doesn't happen. I can no longer find an empty spot on my desk because it's covered in water cups, makeup, plugs, receipts, necklaces... I don't even keep my computer in my room because there's not room on the desk for it. There are clothes literally everywhere - under my bed, the closet is a giant pit of doom, ON MY DESK, on the chair, hanging over door knobs. I want to do laundry but the basement is dark and dank and creepy and I have nowhere to put all said clean clothes... in fact, I have three giant Tupperware containers full, as well as a few garbage bags, that are just sitting in a heap (and I don't even want to talk about the bags in my car trunk... I think I'll just drop them at Salvo).

I need to stop being such a pack-rat.

But doing that involves energy. And I? Am tuckered out. Energyless.

I think part of it has to do with my (lack of) iron and protein intake. I should be taking vitamins daily, but I hate taking pills, even if I'm on-my-deathbed sick and if I don't have to take them, I won't. The shittiest thing about not eating meat is that I don't get these nutrients I need (though I could probably live off the fat of the land for a month and be just fine... I'd just end up with no boobs). Granted, I do eat beans for protein, but not as much as I should, and even iron-rich veggies aren't the same KIND of iron (and don't get absorbed the same way) as what I'd get in a nice, juicy steak.

Mmmmm, I take it back... the shittiest thing about not eating meat is not being able to have a steak (which I don't even like! What. The. Fuck.).

So since I'll be snowed in today, what with Mother Nature perioding all over us (oh yes, I went there), I think I'll take a stab at the room. Or at least clear off my desk.


Or maybe just make my bed... so I can get in it later.
