Monday Observations 10 Nov 08

What a week.

I've given up on posting on all the commotion. (Should try more of that) The world changed Tuesday night, and we all felt it. It took me an an hour and 38 minutes to vote. It took a second after 2200 CST for the world to change.

Tuesday night, I walked outside into a new world.

Thursday morning, I woke up with a severe upper respiratory infection that has grounded me for five days. Got into the healthcare system on Thursday, got pumped full of antibiotics and pills, and spent the weekend mostly on my back.

Tried going back to work this morning, found myself throwing up into a trash can at work. Not. Good. Went home. My boss was out sick as well. My co-worker, Karl, had two kids at home with strep.

Lovely. Had to skip my scheduled game. Damn.

I've managed to annoy most of the reactionaries on my favorite internet board. Might get banned for real, this time. If so, good riddance. I need to take care of myself. They are cursed with being themselves- a horrid fate indeed.

I brought the bike in for the winter. March is when it might come out again, at less than $2.00 gas.

Max is getting clumsier. He needs help, sometimes.

I'll now try to force myself to go back to bed. Going to work this morning was actually a relief, until my energy ran down.
