It appears that I have consumed too much caffeine this weekend. I always get sleepy and irritable after not weaning myself off the stuff and I suppose that last week was no exception. (Please see last entry)

I spent most of the weekend hanging out in the Chinese restaurant that is exhibiting my photos because the owners are going to Hong Kong and it'll be two weeks before I am able to eat there again. So, I had to make up for the "withdrawal" by eating all that I could there. Needless to say, I am still pretty full.

I spent a lot of time, as well, thinking about what I had been feeling last week. I suppose that I have to do something about it. I have decided against school. I am not one that can learn by studying theory and I am a more hands on type of learner. I also have to stop the "everyone else has the same problems, so quit thinking that you are someone special" thing that has been happening and realize that my feelings are no less valid than the next person. We just handle things in different ways.

Now that I've come to that realization, I am making some plans.

I plan on keeping those "dreams" to myself and then when they come to fruition, I can give myself a pat on the back.

Speaking of dreams, I had a weird one on the weekend. I was in the process of making gyoza, in this dream, and had just gotten everything organized. There were a group of pre-teen boys that were going to assist me and while I was planning and mixing the filling for them, these boys decided to start in their own manner. When I returned, I found that they had all but destroyed the thin pastry-like outsides. I remember feeling really frustrated. And then, I woke up. It was 6:13 a.m. and it was Sunday! No sleep for the wicked, I suppose...
