I'm working from home today. I've had a sinus migraine pretty much all weekend, and I spent most of the morning in a daze. I made myself get up and take some meetings this afternoon when I started feeling better, but I clearly need to take more drugs now.

Maybe I'll watch Cosmos before I try to do more work.

Also, I probably should eat something since all I've had today is a raspberry Siggi's.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

This morning, I got half way to work before realizing my wallet was at home.

This afternoon, I made it into the stairwell on the 9th floor before realizing that I had left my keycard (which I needed to get out of the stairwell anywhere other than the ground floor) in someone's office.

I'm a little worried about tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Literally the one upside to being sick is feeling better. I'm not even 100% better, but so much better than yesterday! And the soup I made is good.

Just, you know, for some good news.

Because books.

I woke up this morning with a sore throat. I think it's your doing, Jesse!

I'm a little worried about tonight.

Bubble wrap?

Lee, I have a rain barrel. I don't use it properly (it's just out in the backyard, not connected to the raingutters, and we don't get enough rain for it to collect anything of significance that way) but I have one. I flirt with the idea of collecting the water from waiting for the shower to hear up, etc., but the part where I carry a full (or even half full) bucket of water out to the rain barrel defeats me.

tommyrot, I think my friend Michelle does her own rescue phtography at [link] I bet if you shoot her an e-mail telling her your volunteer plans she would be happy to talk photography with you.

I am sure there was other stuff I mean to respond to but I am stupid tired and thinking is hard. Trying to decided if I should force myself to go for a run or not. I should, right? Going to sleep in the middle of the afternoon seems like a bad idea.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I now have roasted veggies and have started Cosmos!

At first I was thinking "started Cosmos" as in the drink and thought, "yeah, I could go for a good Cosmopolitan tonight". Which makes the TV program a little bit of a let down, I won't lie.

Cosmos to enjoy with Cosmos?

Sounds like a good pairing to me.

So, I'm sitting here poking around on the internet, idly listening to my neighbors do some yard work or something, and I have to wonder what they could possibly doing that sounds so much like a Tardis, but not quite enough to go look. Finally, I head down the hall to change my clothes and realize the Tardis noise is coming from the office. That Tardis USB Hub from Thinkgeek that makes the sound effect when you plug something in, apparently sometimes it gets confused and just keeps Tardis-ing...
