Yawn…

  Yawn!   I’m so tired.  My family decided to put laminate wood flooring in the bedrooms, the den, living room, and the hall.  Putting in flooring is almost like moving.  You have to take everything out of a room so they can put the new floors in.  We’ve been moving stuff around since last week.  They finally finished the floors today.  It does look really nice but its just been alot of work. 

  The combination of being tired and sore from lifting and carrying heavy furniture has taken a toll though.  Not just physically though.  The lack of sleep and energy caught up with me yesterday.  I started having a panic attack.  I was able to push it down and finally shake it off but it usually doesn’t get that far.  I think I’ve already talked about how depression runs in my family.  Usually I can take care of it on my own, but within the last couple of months I’ve had more stress than usual.  So it kind of freaked me out, having to deal with that, but I’m okay now.  I just really need to catch up on sleep this weekend.  I also need to catch up on my school work.  I’ve been able to keep up in most of my classes, but I’ve been falling behind in a couple of them.  One I’m not too worried, I can catch up in a couple of days.  The other I’m not so sure about.  But hopefully all will work out soon.

  I was doing some research, looking for character names for a story and I ran across the meaning of one name that I thought was kind of amusing.

BRONWEN: Welsh name meaning "fair-bosomed." Variants, Branwen, Bronwyn, exists.  Diminutive is Bron.

  So just remember, if you name your girl Bronwen, she’ll probably be popular with the guys.   hehe.

  Here’s something completely random.  My mom told me the other day that it seems that Wal-Mart will hire anybody, including pirates.  Yes, that’s right pirates.  My mom saw a guy dressed as a pirate employee of Wal-Mart, chasing kids and yelling "Arr!"  It just sounds like one of those Capital One commercials, but whatever.

  I’m currently rewriting Dimensional Reality: Oz.  I’m going to be submitting a couple of chapters of it for my Creative Writing class anyway, but I’ve just found that I’m not happy with the flow of it.  So, depending on how the re-write goes, I might end up deleting the present chapters and then posting the new version.  I know I haven’t posted any of my stories in awhile, but hopefully that will change soon. 

  Anyway, its getting late.  I still need to do some more writing before I take a shower, get my stuff ready for classes, and head to bed.   Good night to all.
