A nice night….

I got to gab with my sweetie, watched COPS, lone gunmen, black adder, red dwarf, and now, I go to sleep.

Took a mental health day off today…walked to the beach, hung out a bit. Newt’s loving daddy at home. I fiddled with some banner / icon proggies… fun. maybe new ones will pop up on lj or my homepage, if I feel comfy with them.

fave quote of the night… “Permission to Ram”

sweet dreams, and hostess fruit pies to all! I look forward to catching up LJ later.

The monkey I call a supplier of hardware was supposed to come by at 5. I get a phone call, now. 6 hours later. He’s in my driveway, and wants to come in to test his crap. I agree, and it turns out he has one of his kids with him. I like kids, but since he has his with him, I can’t really comfortably bawl him out for being late, waking me up, and, it turns out, not having all of the hardware I requested. Ah well. I did get to talk to my sweetheart briefly today, took care of some shopping, and recovered from a uvula the size of Rhode Island. I stayed home from work today, but I was a little icky-sicky. I got a little reading in, launched a half-dozen resumes, but failed to do much walking. I sat on the porch, and relaxed quite a lot.

Well, fortunately I have the laptop to post from. (and to do my work on…)

I’m contemplating taking another mental health day tomorrow… I don’t want to bring sore throat germs into work, plus, I want to accomplish the things I didn’t do today.

I don’t like strangers in my house. I’m funny that way. Even the hardware guy is alien to me… I don’t much enjoy having friends inside, either. This apartment is a tiny one, with just enough room to be cozy for one, intimate for two, and crowded with any more than that.

I need rest.

Still swollen, and my throat is still sort of closed… I still have no idea what’s wrong with it, but My doctor’s office doesn’t open until 10, not 9. Instead, I took a cab to the grocery store… I wanted to go to the head shop and a few other places, but they’re all closed until 10, too..

I’m going to make a little goodie-bag up and send it out to someone nice in the meantime.

Hmm…

Woke up this morning and my uvula (that punching bag thing in the back of your throat) is all swollen. It’s making it sort of difficult to swallow…I have the sensation of my throat closing up a bit. I wonder if it’s an allergic reaction to the Chinese food I had last night, my forgetting to wear the CPAP, or Karma catching up to me for taking today off of work. I’m going to take a shower and get dressed, and if it’s still this bad or gets worse, I’ll be calling the doctor at 9am. No restricted breathing, but it is very difficult to swallow. This is going to cut into my day, I had plans, of a sort… involving having a ‘mental health day’. I can hardly relax if I’m worried about my physical well-being.

Ah, well. A nice hot shower will set me right, I hope. More to follow.

Tell me something you’ve done that’s illegal…the most non-legal thing you’ve done?

If you’re nervous, my journal is anonymous-friendly.(I’d prefer to know who you are, though.. I won’t turn you in)

Getting ever more nifty…

Thank you, discovery channel!

Hundreds of scrolls, reduced to lumps of coal by the 750-degree Fahrenheit cloud that wrapped the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum during Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., are rising from the volcano’s ash in what could be the most significant rediscovery of classical literature since the Renaissance.

Among the works scholars hope to read using the new technology are Aristotle’s lost 30 dialogues, philosophical work by Epicurus, erotic poems by Philodemus, Virgilius’s lost eclogue, scientific work by Archimedes and lesbian poetry by Sappho.

I haven’t seen my sweetie online at all yet today!

I blame Frau Schnottenschniffer. Hurry on, love!

*mwah!*

I’m curious… (a certain waffer has me wondering now)

Just check false at the bottom if you disagree with all of ’em. 🙂

Well, it’s finally happened…. the Menstrual hut now has more people interested in it than my personal journal does. 🙂 I’m not sure how many folks the museum of menstruation brought in, but I imagine that it’s certainly a factor… I’m very thankful that sweetalyssm inadvertently gave me the idea to start up the community, and wrote such a lovely letter to MUM, too.

Anyhow… I’m impressed… the child has surpassed the father in it’s growth, and I’ll be very interested in seeing how far it goes! I’m so happy… I’ve really had a bare minimum of troublesome folk there, too.

Headed out early for walkies today… too beautiful out to stay in.

http://www.elbocam.com/webcams/ has a link to a beach not too far from where I do my roaming. 🙂 On a good day, I’ve walked there, and taken a bus back. 🙂

The walk was nice, but it got a little hot…traffic was heavier than normal today, too. An inordinate number of people with pets.
