The METRO downtown was just long enough to confirm that Freecell game 617 still kicks my ass. I had a terrible nightmare last night, but now that I am trying to remember the details, it is 1000 years away, fuzzy, and faded. I got up this morning and let Éclair out to do her potty thing, went to the kitchen, looked and the coffee pot, looked at the breakfast-type foodstuff... contemplated going back to bed... why are mornings so difficult? I ended up eating some Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby ice cream and drinking a glass of milk. I know it's not what EL would have wanted me to eat for breakfast, but it was pretty damn good. Oh, I took a vitamin if that helps. I am not stepping through my pre-work morning for your benefit... oh no... I am recounting the order of my zombie dance through the house to determine at what point exactly I forgot my lunch. I feel like such a fucktard because I looked in the refrigerator and pointed at the lunch bag saying to myself, "don't forget that". What did I do? Yep. EL made this fantastic lasagna last night. She even made half of it with habaneros for little ole me... the spice-o-holic. There was some of that tasty lasagna in that little lunch bag. Dammit. Anyhoo, I felt pretty bad when I woke up... still not shaking this cold-ish bug that seems to have set up residency in my body. Ben is all fucked up from something similar he caught from his baby son when he ate his leftovers. Sam is all fucked up from something similar, but his has a name... bronchitis. Ugh! I don't think that's what I have... but it's somewhere between the common cold and the Ebola virus for sure. With the way I'm feeling right now, I may not make it through the work day without retreating to mi casa. Thank God it's the weekend. The movies I rented this week are late. There should be a sniglet for the condition of the human species where every time you rent a movie, you can't turn it back in until it is late... or is that just me? I always make myself feel better by saying something like, "it's still cheaper than going out to the movies"... like that makes any difference. Oh well, another later fee that I'll put off paying until some undetermined future date. I am jonesin' for coffee... gotta get a fix...
