Apr. 22nd, 2007 10:30 amAhhh...a day off. I don't think I've had a full day off in about ten days.
I have today and tomorrow off, so today is a day of laziness. I'm going to sleep and maybe write, catch Judy's radio show at ten, watch some television, and go scrounging around for some new reading material via references I caught in the biography. Tomorrow, I need to cook and go through some mail and do the laundry, clean off my desk, answer some emails, and make a library run, but I don't think I shall spend much time out of bed today.
In that vein, is nobody using Limewire anymore? I searched yesterday for something after not having used it in months, and I came up with zippo. Which sometimes happens, but not generally when your search terms are "Paul Simon". Is it just that I'm being denied access because my version of Limewire is older than dirt? If Limewire's gone kaboom, what should I be using?
Coworker M and I, the resident Heroes fans of the Box Office, have plotted because I have tomorrow off and she's working too late to catch the new episode. Tuesday we're both off at five, so I'm bringing the laptop with downloaded Heroes on it and we'll stop off at her place, which is en-route to mine, and get some grub and have a little Heroes viewing party. It'll be a nice break before work really kicks in earnestly. And then I'll have another brief break at the start of May, when I go back in to the hospital to do another two-day gamut of tests when my medication ends. (For those who didn't read about that, it's nothing serious, just a medication trial for which I get $400 and all the hospital food I can eat. :D)
I've asked for the two days off, plus a day to recuperate, and this time I'm staying overnight at the hospital. On the plus side, I won't have to get up at oh-god-early two days running to get to the appointment on time; on the downside, nearly two full days without internet, though I'll bring the laptop along to watch movies on. Expect lots of textposts. One thing I will say about not eating for nearly 24 hours straight -- a fast from 8pm onwards, followed by a six-hour test the next day starting around noon -- it makes even a hospital PBJ sandwiches look delightfully gourmet. By the end of the last test I was having intense fantasies about onion rings.
Okay! I'm off to my big day of doing nothing with vigour and intent.
