Well, it was so darn loud so early in the morning.

No, I was out grocery shopping after a week away from home. I now have all manner of delightful things from Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, my only quandary is which of them to eat!

Also I have a week's worth of TV, more or less, to catch up on, but it's also a really nice day out there, enough that I'm definitely going to go out and read on the patio for a while. Maybe I can take my lunch out there....

It's gorgeous here too. I've got windows open and can hear birds singing and traffic noise.

At least we've got a gentle breeze rather than a gale force wind today.

It's nice and warm here too. I wonder if it is in SF itself. (I'm heading there shortly)

I played Civ IV until 4am and slept in with cats snuggled up to my legs. Now I must shower and head out for an afternoon of wandering.

I went wine-tasting in Sonoma yesterday, ate two excellent meals, watched two episodes of SPN ("Asylum" explains "Scarecrow" quite well, really), and generally had a great day. This morning I fed my houseguests an omelette and now we're lounging around before watching last night's Stargate and then they'll trundle away.

I was a bit nervous about having K's 16-foot U-Haul parked in front of my house for a few days, but it's not been disturbed, so that's been nice.

I love three-day weekends!

ita, I hope you wake up feeling much better

I confused the hell out of a baby pharmacist today:

I'd like a box of xyz syringes, please.

Can I see your diabetic id?

(um, this is new)

It's not for me, it's for my cat.

Do you have Cat's card?

Um, he's feline, furry cat. He doesn't have a card. I've never been asked for one before.

He goes off to consult with the senior pharmacist, who gets my box of needles. The baby pharmacist looked so confused by the whole thing. I'm guessing he's used to working in the back, and was pinch-hitting the checkout because it was so busy.

Anywho, got the outside errands done. Launderating now. Debating cleaning. I may leave that for the morning. But I do think I'll pick up while the laundry is going.

I feel better as long as I don't use the left arm much.

So mostly in bed, pouting and reading.

It's sweet, I know, that krav people call to find out if I'm okay if I miss one day, and kinda funny that when I called in to say I wouldn't be there today the guy who answered asked if I were "still sick." I don't remember telling him I was sick at all. News travels, and inaccurately, because sick isn't quite the word.

Still, I don't like explaining the whole thing, so I'm kinda dodging the humans.

And even this much typing has set off a throbbing in my neck.

Back to vegging.

Aimee! Did you see this in the news: [link]

I *knew* you could get ANYTHING at Wal-Mart.
