Last night was the first night that I slept in my own bed in a week. I have worked overnight at the group home as well as house sat for several days. Tomorrow I sleep at work again... crazy!!!!

I wrote 60 pages of papers in the last 3 days. My brain is not functioning very well and you can only imagine the agony of blogging right now. There was an irrational debate in my head that lasted at least 5 minutes on whether or not to blog. It went something like this

Little white Natalie: I really should blog something... I have not done it in a long time

Little red Natalie: ARE YOU KIDDING?!!! You don't have to write ANYTHING for months.

Little white Natalie: Yeah I know but I will get so far behind and then my blog will get boring and then I wont even want to read it!

Little red Natalie: You should lay around and do absolutely nothing for days

Little white Natalie: I can't do that... I have finals coming up

Little red Natalie: Ehh... who cares about finals? You haven't been to class all semester and you have been fine up until now

Little white Natalie: But I have to make A's in my classes... after all, I want to graduate magna

Little red Natalie: Hah...magna! Who cares as long as you get a job when you graduate!!!

The conversation continued in this manner until it finally came back around to the subject of blogging and I let the "little white Natalie" win out so here I am.... blogging! Well, I am done now.

Lo and Behold

So I had an epiphany while walking to my car from class.

The phrase "sticks out like a sore thumb" usually refers to someone or something that is awkward or out of place... could also be known as an "upside down awkward turtle" (when something is REALLY awkward)!

Anyway, the light dawned on me and behold... an epiphany!

My thumb, as you know if you usually read my blog, is sprained. It also hurts very much and is most comfortable..... sticking straight out!!!!

A SORE THUMB THAT STICKS OUT!!!!!

You have no idea the mental relief this revelation has given me. I am like a whole new person! So much so, that I even bent my thumb a little!
