Blah. That seems to be my explanation for how I feel at the moment. My sleep pattern is all kinds of messed up right now, and I just don’t feel like doing much of anything lately. It’s pathetic. I think I’m going to set my alarm for early tomorrow and make myself get up and try to get back on a regular schedule.

It’s been pretty boring the last few days. I’ve been doing some reading, but I’ve mostly been watching TV. I think I’ve watched more about real estate flipping in the last week than I ever have before. It’s an interesting thing to do, but highly stressful from what I gather.

I ordered the book I need for classes last Friday along with a few other books for leisure reading. I really love Sarah Dessen’s books, so I got a few of hers from half.com, and I’m still waiting on the Twilight series to arrive. Other than that, I lead a very boring existence.

But my glasses should be in tomorrow!

I was looking at some platform beds today, and I think if or when I get a new bed frame that would be the kind I’d like to get. I’d probably go for the wooden frame with either a cherry or dark chocolate finish. I just think they’re really pretty and modern looking. Right now I think my bedroom looks so … not me. I don’t really know how to explain it. I feel like I’m stuck in a child’s room or something. I wish my bedroom reflected me a bit more, but what can you do?

I’ve started listening to Twilight by Stephanie Meyer on audiobook. I love it already. I’d heard a lot about it and got curious. I’ve been planning to go to the library to check it out, but I figured the audiobook would work just as well right now since I have so much to do at the computer.

I’m planning to do put the finishing touches on my magazine layout for my cereal box today. I wasn’t too pleased with the way it was looking when I was working on it on Saturday, but I really haven’t looked at it since. Things always seem to look worse the longer you stare at it, so I’ll have to see how I feel when I look again.

I actually woke up before noon today, which is strange considering I slept really strange hours yesterday. After I finished reading Deathly Hallows, showered and ate, I fell asleep on the couch for about five hours or so. When I woke up I wanted to just cry. I could have used a pulse oximeter because it felt like my heart was just going to pound out of my chest.

I think it was just the shock again of waking up and realizing that the Harry Potter series is over. It’s like saying goodbye to a close friend. I still don’t think it’s fully hit me and my heart just sort of aches right now. That’s not necessarily a reflection of my feelings on how things ended, but more about the fact thta it’s the end of the series as a whole because I was introduced to Harry Potter five years and it’s been a very active part of my life. Of course, there are still the last two movies to see, which I am anxious to see because I think they’ll be brilliant, but once that’s over that’s really it. It’s really over. I don’t think I’m really ready for that.

I’m pretty much dead on my feet right now. I’ve been awake over 24 hours, and read all of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I just finished a couple of hours ago. I won’t say too much because I don’t want to give away any spoilers. I also can’t talk to Nikki about it because she hasn’t finished just yet. I just can’t believe the series is over. It feels very surreal.

I feel like I’m going to be on a major Harry Potter kick for a while. I don’t usually like video games, but I think the Order of the Phoenix PS2 game looks so awesome. I hope my brother brings his PS2 home when he comes back from our aund and uncles (he’s coming home today) because I really want to either buy or rent the game and give it a try. I really think my brother would love it too.

July has been so expensive! I had an extra bill this month, and it seems like just one bill can set you back a bit. I’ve started using Quicken to keep track off all of my bills. It’s a sort of financial reporting software. It’s been really useful especially since I have a bad habit of spending without really realizing it. That’s mostly why Nikki and I have been hanging out around the house the last few days. Yesterday we scrapped the scrapbooking and watched the first four Harry Potter movies. That was definitely a good way to waste some time. Now today we’re actually supposed to work on the scrapbooking. Besides that, I’m not entirely sure what we’re planning to do.

We’ve been talking a lot about Harry Potter and what might happen in Deathly Hallows. It’s exciting because in a week, we’ll have the answers. On the other hand, we’re both like “Oh my god! I don’t want to know!” We’re going to go pick up our books at midnight, and then we’ll probably stay up all night reading. That will give us Sunday to sleep and get some rest because Monday we’re leaving for Holiday World, and I think my mom said she wanted to leave by 6 am. Eek. I’m not looking forward to that.
