Losing My Mind

Ok, so I think I am officially losing my mind which is unfortunate because I really need it for various school and work related reasons. To demonstrate my insanity I would like to offer the following things I actually have done in the past two days:
1) My manager returned a time off request form because not only did I put the dates in the wrong places- I asked for 4/45 off. The forty-fifth of April for those of you who didn't know is apparently a good day for rest. She looked at me frustrated and said, "I don't really know what this means can you please fix it." I had to explain to my manager that I am an idiot and that I really meant to write 5/3 which we all know looks exactly like 4/45. Moving on.
2) Forgot my super easy locker combination at work, twice. My manager walked by laughing at me as I am hunched over my lock spinning it desperately trying to get my keys so that I could go to the car and get my watch which I left in my backpack- which nicely segue into number three.
3) Apparently popped my trunk before I went into work and left it wide open. When I went to the car (God had my back on this one- he rocks) to get my watch I saw to my dismay the trunk of my car about six inches open exposing my backpack and a small library of books.
4) Car issue: Idiot edition. Christian and I went to Chilis for dinner and when we got back in the car I took off the emergency break, put the car in reverse and the car was moving forward. How can a car do this, you might ask? I was screaming and freaking out because it was inching up the car parked across from it. So I put in back in park and try again, same thing. Weird. Right? So I get mad and tell Christian that he needs to drive my crazy car. So I sit down and buckle up and he gets in and... are you ready for the answer to this mystery?... maybe you are smarter than me and already guessed it... He TURNS THE ENGINE ON. Ok, so I turned the car on but did not start it and when i took the break off it was rolling forward because I was on an incline. Seriously??? What is wrong with me? As Lori Anne once tempted, any one with the answer to that question wins a FABulous prize.
5) There really isn't another precise situation- thank God, but my linguistic capabilities have also begun to fail me, as I charge many of the female characters in my 18th century literary papers. I have successfully mangled every date, time, day I work on, where I am supposed to be at what time, etc. - edit- as I spell checked this document, it lit up with awesome treasures such as "packback." Case in point.

Bottom line: I need sleep. Fine print under bottom line: I also need to write 50 pages in two weeks and finish my coursework reading.

I am reading Dracula and I find myself wishing that I could bite some random people and perhaps gain some restorative power, that would be nice.

If biting people helped, I'd be all over it...I'm glad you went home to get some sleep!

I believe that if anyone can do it, you can! :o)

Stefani, I am RIGHT there with you!! And, if some of my latest texts are anything to judge my last few weeks by, you can tell that Dracula and I are right about to jump of the edge into crazyland together.

Good luck with everything--see you soon!
