At least I have apple cake for second breakfast....

That reminds me, I want to make that apple cake today if I can find the time.

For now, I'm just making coffee, then eggs will soon follow.

I'm not sure I have anything that'll make a reasonable breakfast. Household management fail. At least I have coffee. Maybe I'll be able to figure something out after some of that.

After I let the animals out at 6am (because they let me sleep in that late in their benevolence) I went back to sleep and had a really vivid dream of being on vacation (with some very unsettling details that I will gloss over because that is not the point) and I woke up not knowing what day it was or when I got back from the Caribbean (note that I have not been to the Caribbean. Ever.) Subjective passage of time, man, so weird.

I want to go to Vegas or the Caribbean,but instead I am going to the office.

Wheeeee

My main goal for the afternoon is to not buy a lot of stuff at Target, since I want to walk a couple of miles and then go to a panel discussion after. What I can do is plan to order stuff off the website. And buy some tights.

Happy Saturday Office Funtime, Lee.

That's a thing, right?

Good plan, Jesse.

I discovered that actively using The one crutch has been hurting me and wearing me out more than just walking unaided. So I shortened it to force myself to have it handy in case I step wrong and for stairs and slopes, but otherwise it's better to just walk.

I am such a sucker! I just got voluntold to sell tickets at the church fair tomorrow. I didn't have any specific plans, and it's only an hour and a half in my neighborhood, but STILL.

It's interesting that the bandage was contributing to a different sort of pain than not using it. I don't know about quantity exactly--I dislike both states, but they are markedly different. Interesting.

The new gawker software means that old posts get highlighted when new ones of a topic are posted, so people will comment and recommend posts you'd forgotten about. God, I say a lot of things.

A: My father had a math professor who named her son... wait for it... Euclid. I can't even.
me: I had a Comp Sci professor that named his daughter Pascal. It was kinda cute.
B: I have a friend who named her kid Pascal Darwin. Top that.
me: Uh, my father's name is Herschel Galileo.

I didn't mention my mother's middle name is Dolores Delrio, since that's getting into readily identifiable, but still. Never go up against a Jamaican when naming kids is on the line.

I'm not craving a smoke, but man am I easily irritated. Had to talk myself down at being pissed off at my parents again.

Are you on TWC? Cablevision seems to be fine.

Level 3, an Internet backbone provider, is having a major outage in the Northeast. Cablevision is competent enough to route around the damage, TWC isn’t.
