What "Crud" Feels Like

I feel like crud -- which isn't something that you really want to feel like. My allergies have been on the unbearably itchy and painful side, so I have been taking Benadryl at night and Allegra in the morning. Benadryl works wonders on allergies, but it destroys my energy. I am just so tired, I can barely make coherent thoughts.

This exhaustedness has caused a couple of funny moments for myself. For example, the other night at Lena's (I don't know why I didn't mention this on the other entry), I sang the last verse of Road to Nowhere when I should have sung the second verse. Then, when I actually got to the last verse, I thought: "This really sounds familiar... like, 30-seconds-ago familiar... ."

I laughed at myself with the hope that I was the only one.

Still, I am in a really bad mood about this Benadryl induced stupor, in which I find myself. And it's cruddy.

It is official -- barring failure of the background check -- I have a new job. I won't go into any detail right now (I really just want to sleep), but I had to get some new clothes. I just spent over $200 at Gap -- business casual attire is required -- on two pairs of pants and five shirts. Khakis and polos are expensive... not to mention ugly. I really wish we could all just wear jeans and t-shirts to work.

Also, I'm reading the Harry Potter series. I just started book three, which is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. So far, the movies -- which I have seen -- are pretty close the books. Which makes me feel like I've read these before. But, I have to admit, J.K. Rowling's writing style is very endearing. She is silly and cute and very as-a-matter-of-factly. I'm sort of reminded of Neil Gaiman's style, though Gaiman is much more gritty. There is also much less -- or none, actually -- cursing. I'm going to read throught the entire series. And then, I'm not quite sure.
