ita, I hope the anti-migraine force is with you today.

Good luck today, brenda.

I decided not risk the monday voodoo, and called in sick. By the time I reported it to everyone I needed to, and changed everything I needed to, I had been at it for half an hour.

As a result, I'm tuckered out and am going back to sleep.

June 6 is a Tuesday this year. Only Thursday has any claim to be blander.

Nap well, Perkins.

Tommyrot, yet again, a piece of LA in the news that has not affected me in the least. Most of the looming I've seen has been X-Men posters.

Having 666 in my address means people either laugh or look at me blankly when I say I've got the address of the beast.

Egad! It should never take thirty minutes to call out sick. But since you're home, insent. I'm bored and emailing people. You've been warned.

Anti-migraine ~ma for ita. Is there another nerve block scheduled anytime soon?

Oh, man. Today is not quite a disaster for me, but I am a giant ball of stress.

• Husband was up several times during the night, sick.

• Due to the fact that the driveway behind our house is being torn up and replaced, the local roach population has been disturbed and is making appearances in our house. (Please note: we are not horrible unclean people. Roaches are an unavoidable fact of life in the south.)

• I'm putting together an online auction to benefit my mother's chorus. A friend of hers got people to donate all sorts of amazing music-related items, and I am paranoid that I'm going to do something to mess it up.

Is there another nerve block scheduled anytime soon?

I don't think the last one worked, but I'm not above giving another one a shot. I have a headache specialist (as opposed to neurologist or GP) appointment in early May. He's supposed to be worth this whole wait, so I can't wait to hear his recommendation.

Great. I do feel lightheaded now. Plus the tube on my CRT is acting up, so the image is slightly pulsating.

At least I hope it's the CRT.

t Waving to Nicole, with whom I hadn't posted in quite a while How are you doing, bored lady?

Dana, I hope the rest of today is stress-free, or at least stress-minimized.

And shoots interstallar death rays out of its head.

I'd be happy if they just did the corners.

Wow, Dana. Monday seems to be kicking it up a notch, doesn't it? I hope the rest of today is a vast improvement.

Hi, Nilly! I'm doing well. And I'm sort of enjoying the boredom, actually. It is such a rare thing these days.
