Latest accomplishment: watching all 22 episodes of the first season of Once Upon A Time in about 96 hours.

Today, I made strawberry cupcakes with strawberry cream cheese frosting for community group this evening. I once again made a mistake that turned out well - used a half stick of butter instead of a whole stick. Seriously - the recipe said 4 oz butter, not half cup or one stick. I know better, but forgot. Still, the cupcakes are not at all greasy like past times I've made this recipe.

My sleep schedule is 3-11 AM these days. Yesterday and today I made myself stay awake when the alarm went off at 8:27. Well, awake and then snoozed a bit. Tomorrow I have to be somewhere at 930, and Friday I'm going on a road trip. Hmm, I fear I will be a basket case this weekend. Or, maybe it will get me back on a normal schedule.

So...road trip. It's just 3 days around northern Arizona. We are going to hit Winslow, then 2 nights in Page, and then maybe Flagstaff on the way home. Places to see include Antelope Canyon, Meteor Crater, Glen Canyon Dam, and something called Bearizona. I have not traveled with this friend before, so I hope we get along for 72 busy hours.

Last, my stomach. I don't get it. Along with sleep, my eating is completely wonky. Last Friday at Comicon, I didn't eat until nearly 5pm. I have gotten up, had iced coffee in some form, then gone to work, and not eaten until 3ish. Late at night (like when I can't fall asleep) I get hungry. Today, I've had all but a few gulps of coffee, a cupcake, and half a can of peaches. I felt nauseous until I finally convinced myself to eat the peaches. WHY does my stomach hurt, making me not want to eat, when eating is the cure? I didn't even taste the cake batter as I made it, and barely a spoonful of frosting. Later on, I may feel ravenous, but it doesn't always happen.

Pros of time off: got a ton cleaned and organized in my classroom, threw a bunch of stuff out, and have a loose schedule in place for 1st quarter.

Cons: I want to keep spending money (I shop when I have too much free time) on my classroom, and my messed up schedule.
