Current mood: disappointed
Well, I went to the Christkindl Market. That was more of a ripoff than the Renaissance Festival. Sorry, but I am not paying $5 for a brat. There wasn't even anything cool to buy. I wish I had stayed home and put up my decorations. Oh, well. At least I went and know what it was all about. It was kind of sad to see how run-down the 16th Street mall has become. I guess the last time I was down in that area was in the late '80s before the Pavillions was even built. There was a jazz quartet playing there as I left and I believe I went to UNC with three of the guys. Sadly, I can't remember any of their names (I graduated in '90, afterall). It's nice to see that some of the people I went to school with are still playing. I wish I was.

I'm still alive. I'll have time to do a post tomorrow since I have no work and no school. I actually get to stay home a whole day! Yay!!!

I haven't gotten more than 4 hours of sleep per night since Marcus has been gone. I just don't sleep well when he's not home. I keep trying to make myslf go to sleep early, but next thing I know it's like 11 or 12 and I'm still awake. It sucks. I should be dropping dead about now, but I'm not. I am going to go make myself take a nap now. I just hope I get some rest before I get sick or have an accident at work or something.

Have I mentioned before that I hate the highway system in Denver? Especially where traffic merges. My least favorite spot right now is where Southeast bound I-270 merges with East bound I-70. You basically have 3 lanes of traffic trying to become one. It's the most stupid design I have ever seen. Traffic is bad there all the time, not just during rush hours. Today (around noon) there was a multi-car pileup at Havana involving a couple of semis and a couple of other cars that was blocking two of those lanes. Top it off with the fact that they're resurfacing I-70 along there and it was a nightmare. Normally I watch how I-70 traffic is moving and if it isn't, I'll jump off on Quebec and take side streets (usually 56th to Tower if I'm going home or Alameda to Peoria if I'm going to school). Today I was daydreaming or something and I had just passed Quebec when I knew I was going to have a problem. It took almost a half hour to get from Quebec to Havana. Plus some asshole in a Cherokee was tailgating me the whole time -- like riding my ass is going to make traffic move any faster.

The jerkoff manager who's got me pissed off this week (the loser who screwed up Saturday - crashed computer, was making my dough) strikes again. I don't know what he was doing when he was making my dough, but it's proofing funny. Yay. Nobody better try to blame me for that.

Ok, I'm off to try to take a nap.
