Hyper Little Thoughts

Good Morning, Viet Nam LJ!

I'm awfully chipper for being up at the ungodly hour of six aye-em this morning, going for a blood draw reboot. I found the place this time, and it took about 2 minutes. It helped that this time there was a line of officers. I'm glad I went in civies, they let me cut since they could see it was my day off. It's always odd to see 3rd shifters in the morning though - like I'm looking at them upside down.

So I got my blood drawn by an almost-competant nurse (all FIVE vials!) without passing out or even getting dizzy. Go me! And then I stopped off at Stargasmbucks and got myself a nice tall coffee treat for being so good. Which I am currently sipping merrily. Chucked some bills in the mail on the way home so I won't have to go anywhere. I'm bound and determined not to leave the house at all until Tuesday except for work. I hate holiday weekends - people act like they've escaped from the special needs ward. Which probably won't happen because they still haven't fixed the washing machine, and when I went down to the first and second floor to steal their machines for a bit, I found they've all been removed. Ye gods, but management had better return or replace them quick. Or they shall suffer the wrath of me. After all, my tongue lashings are the tongue lashiest toung lashes in tongue lash town. Darn tootin. I might just be out of skivies. maybe.

However, I have plans to enjoy my single day off today by catching up on just about everything. And relaxing. And there may be a nap thrown in there somewhere.

Oh, and new Sammy Icon FTW.

I'm aware that this makes me sound craziery, but I just love it when there are lines in the carpet after a rigorous vacuuming. It makes me feel clean. *cleanly sigh*

I've made pretty good progress today. All that is left is the office *shudder* and bouncing checks paying bills *worse shudder*. I should probably go ahead and order Mom's Day flowers too. Hurrah, another holiday to bleed my wallet. Not that they don't deserve it. And I still need to finish up this chapter of L2bL and send it off.

All in all, a nice way to spend my day off on this cold and stormy day (LOVE IT!).

Also, I've discovered I like orange juice now. Go figure.

Also, also: to my SPN peeps, EEGADS!

Favorite new artist this week: Aimee Mann (not so much new as rediscovered on my iPod...wound up getting the whole damn discography last night).

I'm suffering from an extreme case of lazy-ass. All I've been doing is coming home from work and going straight to the bedroom. Tom was so very smart and sweet and I love/hate him for it dumb and brought his old TV to my place, so now we can watch movies in bed. Yeah...I don't so much leave the bedroom anymore. Dishes piled up, laundry coating the floor. Not hot.

Mom called - she's sicker than hell right now. Everyone back home is. Hopefully/luckily I got out before they got their germs all over me. I so don't have the energy to be sick right now.

Work...meh. I've learned to leave my brain at home, now, so that I don't go stark raving loony anymore. Joe and I don't really speak to each other anymore because of that falling out. There's a huge manager shift coming up. There are 5 positions district-wide opening up within the next week, and I think everyone's throwing themselves out there. Is it bad that I just don't want to? I mean...I hate playing games. I refuse to kiss ass. I want my job to based on merrit, not the metaphorical rim job I give. I may despise it, but at least I have the peace of mind knowing that I can take pride in the work I've done.

During my nap today I drempt that I was Little Nemo, a la Adventures in Slumberland. Anyone else remember that movie/comic?
