strange times indeed

Woke up this morning sounding like I smoke a pack and a half a day, and feeling slightly woozy. Sad thing is my poor cat Rowan is sneezing and sounds congested too. And they're forecasting a high of 98°F, which I know is peanuts for some of you, but it's also kind of humid, and we don't have A/C. And I feel crappy. Who knows -- there may be a trip to the movies anyway.

Also, note to self: don't take your sinus / allergy meds on an empty stomach, because your stomach does not like it. You should know better.

My sinuses are my mortal enemy. They are preventing me from breathing comfortably through my nose. I think it's affecting my sleep.

Weekends are never long enough, and this week will be the first week in three that I'm working M-F. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

iPoddy goodness is making it all better though. I must find a skin though; it slid off of my lap at the bus station and now one of the corners is scuffed up.

I spent an unholy amount of time today sucking things into iTunes. And some previously sucked-in mp3s are driving me crazy because I'm changing the names in the Library list (to capitalize the artist names, correct mispellings) and when I play the songs? It reverts to the previous bad spelling! Argh. Any suggestions?

Put up this very fine Kate Dillon background made by tanacawyr. She was nice enough to make it Mac-friendly so I didn't have to have my icons interfering with the eye candy. Weeded out some other desktop pictures that are so small on this screen now that if I stretch to fill the screen, they were all pixelly, and that's of the bad.

Got a nasty sinus headache. When those little antihistamine pills say that they work for 24 hours? They lie.

Fighting ants on my desk. Again.

We're doing the 'meat fast' again. Which is kind of exactly the opposite of what it sounds like. Opposite of vegan, I guess. And of course, I want a big bowl of flaxseed chips with salsa and sour cream.

And now I'm tired, but don't want to go to bed, because I don't feel like I've done anything useful today.
