Yes and yes. Strange as it sounds, I'm actually laying on the couch waiting to get tired 'cuz hubby is home and I have a terrible time trying to fall asleep when he is here. I know I'm strange - I'm just used to him working nights and not having to share the bed! (I use an entire queen sized bed when I sleep. Literally. The entire thing.)

*whistles tune stuck in head*
 
Waiting for the Sherlock WW to start so I can start stalking it. :laugh: I'm in such a habit of checking SDN first thing when I get home now, only to remember I'm not playing this time. 🙄 :laugh:
 
Trying to figure out whether to get my dog ProPlan Lamb and Rice, Chicken and Rice, Small Breed (she's a Chi), or Senior (she's 12). 😕

That one doesn't look too bad. I might try sensitive skin and stomach (not one I was originally considering). It's fish base instead.

Edit: Small breed it is. I'd rather have a #6 bag than an #18 bag. She's only #6 herself.
 
They do sell them normally like that, but not through the school. The #6 bags are only $5!! And I'd rather her food not go stale.
 
It's the only reason I'm changing her from grain-free. She does well on whatever, so I figure it can't hurt. If it does I'll suck it up and buy food at a normal price.

Dang, girl. With all the news on the zombie apocalypse as of late- that's a wee bit concerning...

At least it will make starting vet school a bit easier if you're already a zombie. Just have to worry about procuring a consistent supply of brains.
 
I'm trying to get myself to keep reading my microbio book (was told to do so in preparation for an infectious disease class), but just can't get myself to do it. Instead I cook (WHAT?), cleaned the kitchen, did laundry and cleaned the bedroom a bit.. All stuff I don't really enjoy doing..

(Well, sprinkle SDN and blog reading in there for a huge chunk of time.. :laugh:)

Got back from trying to set up a UK bank account... Seriously, both Barclay's banks that I went into can't give me an appointment to set up an account until next week... 😱

So I went over to Bank of Scotland they were super nice and I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon.... So HA, Stupid Barclays....

I don't get it... You have to get an appointment to set up a bank account, in the US they would sit you down and get started right away... Also, what is up with everything closing at like 6PM over here... I am so used to places being open until 9 or 10PM... It is just weird.

Also, I am still learning how to count British currency (change) it is definitely much different...

So many minor things that you don't think of but I am getting used to them.

At the town I did my undergrad in everything closed at 6 on Sundays. Even the mall. Too bad that's about the only time I had to do anything fun.

It drives me nuts when places (especially small towns in CA) close things at 6pm!

I have already decided I am so screwed when I move for school. Nevada is a 24hr state and I am very used to that :lame:

That would be an awful transition to go from 24 hr to everything closes at 6pm. :scared:

I'm not up super late usually, but at least stay open until like 8.

I would prefer 9, but yeah definitely till 8. I never leave to go shopping after 8pm. I just get lazy.

See, I am the girl that would get up and go to the grocery store at 7 am because I wanted to sleep. I am much more an early bird than a night owl though. Bedtime is 11 for me.

Same here. Early morning (AZ time) is the best. I can't seem to get used to the time difference.

This morning I woke up at 5:30. Thought it was 6:30 and decided to lay in bed for 20 minutes (I can be quite the lazy morning person). Lucky for me that it was only 6am when I got up.

On another note. Youtube The 100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time (I won't post it due to the profanity).

I can't seem to get used to the time difference either.....

I was shocked to discover that the mall was closed at 6PM last night... Seriously... 6PM on a Monday night but it wasn't the only thing closed all of the shops in city center were closing or already closed.... WTF....

Of course, you can always find a pub that is open...🙂

I can't seem to wake up before 6:30 or 7 in the morning here (though it's 8 if I don't set an alarm). And I can't seem to get in bed before 10 or 11. So I'm only like an hour or 2 off from my normal. It's just going to suck next week for orientation when I have to be on campus by 8.

I'm in Canada right now, and waking up at 9-11am every day... that translates to 11-1PM in NC. My life is going to SUCK for orientation.

I also get back into the US only a few hours before our barbecue, so hopefully no flight delays. :xf:

I used to be the best about waking up at 5 am. I loved it because you get more done in the mornings and afternoons, so more lounging around time in the evenings.

Maybe the past year (basically since I graduated) I can't do that anymore. It is all 6:30 or later for me.
 
My sleep schedule is so messed up right now due to working overnight shifts. I'm hoping the time difference ALSO messing up my sleep schedule when I get home will be enough to cancel it out.
