Hello. How are you today?

[Bloody Cara]

As the title says, please post how you are here, daily!

I'm good. A new semester started in school. Now I've got psychology, French and English. I'm also relieved that a friend who I thought was dead is alive, but angry that he doesn't answer my calls. I watched X-Men: The Last Stand today with Markus. It was pretty good.

How are you guys today?

I've had a very productive day! Got up about 8AM, started laundry and made some phone calls. I got my prescriptions all refilled online, made a docs appt., canceled a doc's appt., and by then laundry was done.

Went to try and find some new jeans, only found one pair that looked decent on me. Then I had lunch at Famous Daves, went to Target and Home Depot, and came home.

Installed a new door knob with a lock on my bedroom door, which turned into much more of a pita than I was expecting. The old door had a knob and mortice lock that was likely as old as myself. Had to buy a hole saw to get it done lol, I think I would have been better off just buying a new door and hanging it. Got the mess cleaned up a bit ago, and now am pondering what to have for dinner.

That's about it. Work tomorrow at noon.

I'm doing kinda sucky at the mo. Am in London, which should be exciting and awesome but instead it's reminding me of my ex in a rosy light which I really shouldn't have to deal with six months after. So I'm dealing with that, throw in a good amount of insecurity/self esteem issues, plus I've just found a mole that's changed shape, and skin cancer runs in my family so I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday in a foreign country, hooray.

I'm sick.

It's the third cold I've caught this season. I'm not happy. I haven't been sick in two years and then, boom!, three in a season. I've had it. I'm ready to seriously harm anyone that comes near me that has one little damn sniffle.

Meh, shit. Had a crap day at work due to my boss and a pilot butting heads, and I was caught in the middle. Hurray for beer, cuz it's over!!

[Bloody Cara]

I'm okay. Had French and English today at school. Watched just a couple of episodes of the Simpsons. Was an okay day, nothing special happened.

To paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield, Today I`m doing alright, but I`ll tell ya, last week was rough.

Just before work, I sliced open my left thumb on a mechanism I was disassembling. At first, it just looked like a skinned knuckle, then I bent it a little and realised it would need stitches... then the doc cleaned it up and showed me the bone and the silvery membrane that would be the remains of my extensor tendon.

This is twice now my bones have seen the light of day. The experience has nothing to recommend itself. Or if you prefer 'Don`t try this at home.'

So I got stitches. Interestingly, the Doc had sort of a long consult with a specialist, so the local anaesthetic had started to wear off. Pain is transitory though. Griping about it would only have prolonged my time in the hospital.

So yep, learning to do stuff one handed, at least until Thursday when the splint comes off. Have to be patient, as it feels like I could take it off now. Then the therapy comes.

On the good side, I am not paying for this. Might even get the $14.00 back for the vicodin I have yet to use. On the down side, once again, I am not in my shop. Light duty work only, so either messenger, or contractor escort. Escort means walking with people who do not have a clearance while they work in places where classified work is done and insuring that anything they might get in trouble for seeing is covered up. Another way to put it might be to say I am making sure we don`t know everything we need to not know.

Quantum inverse of knowlege?

Probably not getting my warm spot in the shop again when I do go back. Trying not to permit myself any annoyance over the situation though. My current mantra for getting through a day of working for the G is 'Expectation is the first step on the road to Disappointment. Expect Nothing, and you will not be disappointed.'

Anyway, like I said at the start of this, I`m doing okay. Typing around my thumb that seems about half an inch too long, and I still don`t know everything I need to not know. Be nice to be able to ride again though.

Cheerio.

I am SAAAADDDDD today!!!! I don't know why. I haven't seen my kiddo in a couple days, but she's back now so I should be good. I think I'm missing my dad a lot, but I'm not sure. It's weird, because I can't really tell. I mean, of course I'm missing him! But it's hard to identify those emotions, I guess.

Anyway, tomorrow will be better. I'm sure of it!!

i threw my back out shaving my crotch a few days ago. been going thru a lot of icyhot. then felt well enough to have whiskey fuelled shower sex last night, and am again sore as hell.
i hate the people i work with, but i love what i do for work.
i took a bubble bath for the first time in years tonite. that was nice. i smell like a cookie. and i'm enjoying some vino.
and i pirated the movie pirate radio- lawlz- and watched that whilst in the tub. that was nice. good film.
kinda constipated. had a steak last night for dinner. still workin out the kinks with that.
and i am listening to the dixie chicks. in bed. with red wine. good evening.

[Tequesian]

Sorry to hear Aimee. Surely sadness too can not last.


Sprank... listen bud, I do not think you`re supposed to try to hold the razor in your teeth. Mmmkay?

[Strawberry_Kisses]

Super happy because I got one of my textbooks for 25 dollars instead of 150

[rubytuesday]

Heh. I'm weaning myself off of Afrin. Well actually not quite. I'm cold turkey and using saline nasal spray. On the upside I've blown out more snot in the last few hours than in the last week.

Medicated OTC nasal sprays are seriously messed up. I've read more about nasal spray 'addiction' in the last couple of days than I ever needed to know. I had my boyfriend hide it from me so I wouldn't be tempted. Now I just have to tough it out.

Nasal congestion SUCKS.

[sprankified]

my gf was an afrin addict back in high school. weird. i tried to use it once when i had a cold and it burned so bad, i hated it.

i'm bored. i cleaned my room. tried to watch the state of the union.. got bored with that and HERE I AM.

I am doing better lately! Study abroad is treating me fantastically, though I've yet to enter a bar and chat up the ladies which is becoming an Issue. Unfortunately I'm not brave enough to enter a bar by myself and just start hitting on people, never done that before so of course it'll be awkward for all concerned.

But anyway, today me and a friend wandered around half of London trying to find shoes that are both cute AND comfortable, which was a spectacular failure. Five hours later [!!!] we utterly gave up and wandered through some lovely residential areas marveling at architecture. All in all a good, pleasantly tiring day. In about half an hour I'll be leading a meeting for my program's student newspaper, and tomorrow evening I get a slim-chance-it's-cancerous mole removed from my lower back. But that's tomorrow.

[heeheehee]

TERRIBLE but i've done a bit of artwork and the new series of skins is on later at least..
