There’s a building named after Shatner at McGill. Drank many a beer in that building’s bar when I was a student. ---

Good news. The pain has subsided. Not entirely gone, but much more tolerable than yesterday. But I am still groggy from two doses of pain meds. ---

I figure I got a B, maybe high B, on that accounting exam. Considering I absolutely could not remember how to do two questions that were probably worth a total of 8 points\*, I really don’t think an A is likely. I was running an A in the class, so hopefully I manage to keep that. Didn’t help that my calculator crapped out at the start of the test, so I was doing some hairy long divisions by hand. \*When I mentioned that to the professor when turning in my test, he said “that’s to be expected”, with a rather mischievous smile. I’m wondering if he threw a couple of curveballs at us. ---

Two days ago I wanted to turn on the AC Today I want to turn on the heat. I am freezing. I got some things done today but not near enough. I had to take a nap, until some telemarketing asshole called and woke me. I think I have more blocked numbers on my phone than I have contacts in my phone book. ---

House centipede. House centipede. House centipede. House centipede. OMFG house centipede!!! I freaking hate these things. So when I looked up at the wall about half an hour ago and suddenly saw one there, I nearly had a heart attack. I can’t even look at a picture of one without feeling panicky. I was seriously contemplating sleeping in my car, or going to a hotel. I stared at it for a good 20 minutes while it moved around near the ceiling, but then it made its fatal mistake and started coming down the wall. In reach of my fatso lazy cat, who took a swat at it. That sent it running across the carpet. Oh, no way. One surge of adrenaline and I bludgeoned it to death with a shoe. Then the cat ate the remains. But I’m still wound up and terrified there might be another one hiding somewhere. I’m sure I’ll get over it in the morning but right now I want to move. ---
