When will it end...

I'm working right now...it's 2:37 a.m. I'm getting tired of these night shifts. Saturday night will be my last one, and it can't come soon enough. I didn't mind at first, but after working nights for the past almost 2 weeks (with no time off), it's starting to get old. I miss sleeping at night and miss talking to my work friends during the day. On the bright side, I have gotten rather proficient at writing emails. I think my typing skills have improved to about 150 words per minute. Ok, maybe not that much...

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. It may sound weird, but Lent is probably my favorite time of the liturgical year, even moreso than Christmas. I'm giving up pop. I've done that in the past, but I usually indulged on Sundays. This time I'm giving it up the whole time. So far the caffeine withdrawal hasn't been bad, but that's probably because I had two cups of coffee. I'm also going to try to work out at least every day that I have my 24 Hour Fitness pass, but on the off days I'm going to try to run on the treadmill at my apartment's small gym. I did legs yesterday and a couple arm exercises (since I missed Monday, which is my arm day). My thighs are really feeling it. I also had volleyball last night. It was definitely an off night for me, but I haven't touched a volleyball in two weeks so I forgive myself.

I'm going to look at townhomes on Friday...yay! I need to get on the ball with the lender, though, and get all the info I need for that. I don't want to find the perfect place and not have the loan paperwork ready. It'd be nice to have it by the time my parents come at the end of March, but then I'll end up paying double rent since my lease isn't up until the end of April. It'll work out.

We have Fox News on here at work, and there's a stupid Valentine's Day commercial for Vermont Teddy Bear that is starting to annoy the crap out of me. It has a bunch of girls oohing and ahhing over some stupid $70 teddy bear and talking about how they can't wait to give their men their presents. And no, I'm not just bitter because I won't be receiving anything for Valentine's Day. I have a nice singles party planned out for Monday night. We're all going out to eat and then going to watch the movie "Hitch." But that's besides the point. Vermont Teddy Bear commercials are stupid.
