Feeling kinda rough. Woke up at about 03h30 with a pounding head...the kind where you think it's gonna pop. Felt like it could be sinus, so took a couple painkillers/decongestants at about 04h00, and was puking my guts out by 04h30. Decided I wasn't up to driving to work, so have called in a rare sick day.
Feeling a bit better now, (at least the head pain is gone), but still a little shaky.

By coincidence Av, I'm in the same boat. Headache, feeling sick and suffering with the .....no let's not go there! Came home from work half way through yesterday and after a night up and down like a fiddler's elbow I'm going to pull the rug on today (and most likely tomorrow as well). I frikkin hate being ill, and I hate loosing money......but on the plus side I'm catching up on some Witcher 3 in between ....... enough!

Used to have a band called Tod Rungren's Utopia iirc (in fact I'm pretty sure I saw them at a festival in my youth). I can't remember anything of their output, but that's not surprising - I was wasted for pretty much the duration of that period of my life!lucimay wrote:Avatar wrote:Uh....hello?

as in...
hello it's me
I've thought about us for a long long time
maybe I think too much but something's wrong
there's something here that doesn't last too long
maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine...

I went to SF for a week and chose that specific week because todd rundgren was going to be signing his new book at Amoeba Records on the Monday and I wanted to meet him.
but then I got cold feet. I mean...I made an utter imbecile of myself when I met james taylor years and years ago. I could barely string two thoughts together looking at my hand shaking his HUGE hand...dude is really tall and has really big hands...and so, thinking about going to meet todd, get my book signed... I kept thinking about what the hell do you say to a musician of that caliber about how his music has affected you...or whatever what DO you say? i been listening to that guy since i was 12. it's kinda like meeting a beatle or something...to me anyway.
so i didn't go. lol!! such a dork.
but of course CREATOR in all his WISDOM decides we should go SEE todd in boulder on the 30th...i read the reviews of the tour and the set list is a fan's dream set list...and my husband has purchased us MEET AND FUCKING GREET tickets GAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
what AM i going to SAY to dude?
I guess, "Thank you for all you have done, because it's added some real fun to my life listening to your work." That might be appreciated, yes?

Took a day off of work, went to the dentist to have a filling and standard cleaning, left with a surprise root canal.
So, I guess that's my life's metaphor right now.

Ah, surprise dental bills. One of my least-favorite surprises.
Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing

Had a nice quiet weekend, read, played games, confiscated a very big dead rat from my smallest cat, and a smallish live one from my biggest cat.
Monday now though...

My cats started the day by finding a bug. They harassed it for a while, then apparently lost track of it. The bug is still at large, and presumably annoyed.

I'm stressed because I've been putting off a few communications... so I have to send emails.
One of them I'm especially dreading because I kinda need to collect a refund for participation fees I covered for a group of people...
...and I never mailed them about it before, and now it'snearly the end of the school year.
well, hopefully I'm going off to do that now!

Yes... I even know some things that "lock that" down, and stuff...Avatar wrote:Urgh, I know how you feel. Also been avoiding comms lately.
But hey, I stayed up late and sent my mail.
Slept much better than the previous two nights.
And in the morning, I got mail back from about half the people who I needed to hear from.

I was wondering the same thing. ^^^
School closed a week ago, and I am beginning to feel like I can think clearly, and actually relax.
Stag of the dawn resigned from the work that made him miserable for the past year and a half and actually feels happy, and I'm happy for him.
Buck of the dawn (our son) got engaged (I think I shared that already?).
We're heading Stateside on Tuesday!
