Quiet time

I enrolled in school today. Didn't feel very exciting. I have to petition the food costing class but I'm not too worried about it. I have backup courses to add if necessary. If I am going to be in school I may as well learn something valuable. Web business sounds promising.

Now that the bills are paid I've been very sleepy. I took a three hour nap when I got out of work today. Said no to a cake order today for the first time in four years. I even splurged and bought myself bright pink nail polish. Boring stuff to you all, I'm sure, unless you've been in my shoes.

Cakes are my life. I usually have orders every day of the week as well as my school gigs. I sleep maybe four hours a night. Some nights I even stay up a full 24 hours to get an order out, jump in the shower and then off to sub until 3 p.m. My boyfriend always worries that I'm killing myself for my craft but he doesn't understand my fear. He does understand my love for the job, though, so he doesn't get on me too much.

Knowing that I didn't need that cake order to put gas in my car was a tremendous relief. Now I know what it means to have stress keep you up at night. I thought it was an exaggeration. Now that I'm not afraid of bill collectors or the government stealing the little money I have, my body is peaceful. I think I'm gonna take advantage of it and hit the hay.

Goodnight, all.
