It's very bad form to fall asleep at work

I have had a day.

I got home and went to bed. But my double-reed breathing kicked in, and that's not only noisy, it's uncomfortable. So I took an allegra and played on Civ III. Until 4 AM.

 I went to bed, and napped lightly. At 6, i got up and went out to put gas in the Focus. I tanked it, and also bought a coke. I had breakfast at McD's. I love egg mcmuffins.

Then i had to get the kidlets up and off to school. And Dollface had to get up and dressed so we could take the Windstar to the shop.

Handy Car Buying Tip: Check for jack and lug wrenchs! We occupied ourselves for an hour and a half. We sang, told stories and looked at the photos of antique cars. I am very convinced that Dr. Henry Jones drives a Ford Phaethon, simply because the name amuses him. Indy drives a Fordor sedan.

 Then to Wal-Mart and we hit McD's for second breakfast (sausage mcgriddles) and some shopping. Some stuff for Halloween, some for around the house. A big honkin box of Tide. We went to Fred's looking for Christmas stuff, and Save-a-Lot for milk and pop and a few things.

At home, we watched Quantum Leap and Smallville.

 ( cut for SV spoilers )

We had salami sandwiches, and a bath and got a call from the attendance officer because Bunny had been absent 3 times. Nothing shuts an attendance officer up faster than "Dysmennorhea, with fever and fainting. Look for it around the middle of each month. It's genetic." "Ah, personal illness."

I spent half-an-hour at the school trying to meet with him, but he was in the field. So I gassed up the Windstar and went home.

I made a bunch of buttons and a CD cover. I have to assemble the buttons tonight. Bunny's wearing them on her hat tomorrow. Must crochet angel tomorrow, and stiffen. Mailings go out Sat, for SBX and MUNCLE lending library (I know I'm late).  And Dad's birthday.  Which was today, but he's in Honduras.

 

 May I die yet? Everything hurts, my nose, my lip with a fever blister, my butt, my legs, my head, my feet, and the damned second degree burn on my index finger!

So tired i tried to remove a photocopied paperclip

But this just had to be said.

"In Memphis, it is illegal for a woman to drive a car unless there is a man either running or walking in front of her,waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians."

The way i feel today, i need a flagman.
