As long as it stays like this
The weather this week has been pretty glorious, at least compared to the crawling horror of last week. Mornings especially, when there's a slight hint of chill that makes me really happy. My subway station manages to remain horrifically hot and humid, but I think that's just the nature of this particular station. It's ok, because my walk from there to work has actually been enjoyable - a first since I started this job. I drank hot coffee this morning and did not want to die because of it.
I had a really hard time getting out of bed this morning for whatever reason. It reminded me of when I was an insane college kid and would stay out all night, then try to get up for work or class on an hour and a half of sleep. I'd end up taking these eight minute naps between, say, brushing my teeth and putting on my pants. I can't fathom doing that now (much less going to work on an hour and a half of sleep), but I did actually get up to pee about twelve minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off and then go back to bed afterwards for that last precious bit of sleep.
Another thing that's reminding me of being younger and crazier - I bought a new shoulder bag a couple of weeks ago and finally transferred all my crap into it. The thing is, it's somewhat larger than my old one. This, of course, means that I end up carrying around more crap. Another book here, another gadget there, and it's getting pretty heavy. It's not quite as bad as it was when I crammed the Giant Messenger Bag from Hell with textbooks and lugged that around all day, but it's no dainty little purse either. But I suppose I'm not really the dainty little purse type any more than I'm the type to carry my lunch in a Victoria's Secret bag (as every other female in New York seems to do). It's probably for the best.
