I'm totally exhausted. I have no idea why-- I have been getting decent amounts of sleep lately (except when I've been at home this week and everyone wakes me up) but it seems like no matter how much sleep I get I'm still extremely tired. The boyfriend has been trying to make me sleep when I go over to his place because he always comments on how tired I look. (Though, I get that all the time, really. I think it has to do with having light skin so you have these permanent dark shadows under your eyes...) I can't even focus on my homework. I really wanted to hit the gym this week too, but due to the fact that I've been so fatigued and having some soreness in my joints I have not been able to. This is all sounding suspiciously like my thyroid gland might be out of whack again. At least if it is I'll find out about it soon, since I had my annual blood test this past week. I also have a cyst in my throat that I had an ultrasound done on this past week. I've known about it for a while-- I can feel it and I get a really uncomfortable feeling when anything touches my throat (so no scarves or turtlenecks for me)-- and I told my mom about it when the doctor found it, but she apparently was not paying attention because she seriously chewed me out on the phone when I told her I had it checked out and she assumed I neglected to tell her. Ah, mom. Her attention is spread so thin between taking care of all her kids and her parents and transporting everyone everywhere that she doesn't really absorb much information anymore.

I decided to try cooking something last night and I made a white bean chicken chili, which is my favorite kind of chili. It turned out really well, which made me happy:) Also, I bought organic tomatoes instead of just the usual tomatoes I buy, and they definitely taste better.

I really want to go shopping and get some new clothes, but I'm so tired that I don't even feel like going. I just want to sleep...
