- wake up at ass-crack of dawn, drink tea, pack lunch, drive 25 minutes to farm while listening to Nick Hornby's "A Long Way Down" book-on-cd...light entertainment while I drink 2nd cup of tea on the road.
- work in field planting, weeding, sweating in hot sun.
- watch kestral hawks dive-bomb mice in the field while i drink tea (iced this time) and eat lunch.
- let the ladies out (fancy chickens), collect eggs, check on pregnant goat. hmm...still no kid
- space-out for a minute
- apply sunblock and head back to field stomping my feet a bit to ward off any snakes. (not sure it actually works, but i feel better knowing it might)
- finish up whatever i'm doing and drive back to house to either shower or eat. i can't do both unless i have a popcicle, in which case i would have to eat it FAST
- bike or drive to class (applied algebra & trig) yikes. i should have taken this TEN OR MORE YEARS AGO in high school so it would be a little easier now. it's a little painful to point out that it's not even required for my degree. i am taking this $800 class in order to pass ONE exam that i need to take to attend my 2nd year chem & physics class which i am already registered for
- come home, spend 3 hours doing homework
- open wine, and water veg garden, pat dog,
- check emails and whatnot, update you monkeys, have a little more wine
- realize i am starting to get drunk off said wine
- have a little more wine
- fall asleep watching nova or american experience which was repeat from last nite
- wake up to asshole neighbor with broken exhaust pipe driving past house
- pat dog and look around bedroom. spaceout. make tea...........
Love KAT!

hmmm, haha, it sounds like you need to cut down on the wine and tea....Perhaps they are crossing eachother out. Drink more wine at night....need more tea during the day? But i shouldnt talk i have recently upped my tea intake as well.
I reccomend making some part of your lunch the night before. Like faux chicken salad....(ps i ran out of pickles and needed something crunchy on mine so i tried "salad toppins" on the sandwhich...pretty fucking good). Life is so much easier when you make something big on the weekend and pre-split your meals into small tupperware contantoirs so that you have one every day.
My best suggestion is something i did when i knew i was going to be really super busy in school. Make an entire package of english muffins into breakfast sandwhiches, wrap them in foil/plastic wrap and freeze them. Then every morning you have a super fast easy breakfast that contains more protien than cereal or toast. They are also great for snacks.
Good luck in the trig class!! Yikes...
