The company I irk for is running a two week promotion in which if I do well I could be up for a promotion. No guarantees but one of the requirements is that you have to irk your scheduled hours. I had a doctor appointment scheduled in those two weeks so I called the doctor to reschedule because dammit I irk hard and I want the promotion. The next available appointment wasn’t until March 30th!!! However there was a cancelled appointment for tomorrow and I said ok. Now I am regretting it, I am going to have to get up between 5 and 6 to be out the door by 7, because I have no idea how long it will take to get there. I don’t know if I should stop at my mothers and pick up some more stuff, if I should leave the dog and kid home or take them with me. At least the visit will be over with. I like my doctor and don’t want to find a different one but having one so far away sucks. I suppose I could leave this afternoon and spend the night at my mothers. ---

The bump is gone! At least it’s gone from my head, but it’s on its way to a lab for a biopsy. Meanwhile, \*\*FCD \*\*will have to tend to it for me because I can’t see the area well enough. Between where it’s located and the progressive lens in my glasses, I don’t know if I could keep it clean on my own. It’s a good thing I left really early, tho - the truck was frozen over - I could barely get the door open! I started it up and put the blower to the windshield at full blast, then attempted to scrape the ice - hah! So I very carefully backed off the parking pad and pulled the cab into the garage, and with the engine still running and the blower still blowing, I was able to break thru the ice on the windows, but not the back window - that was too thick. Still, I got it clear enough that I could drive safely, and as I drove down the road with the defroster on full blast, eventually, all of the windows were soon ice-free. Had I thought, I could have pulled into the garage right after \*\*FCD \*\*left for work and saved myself some aggravation. Oh well… Afterwards, I decided I deserved lunch out, so I went to the Tequila Grill and had Fiesta Shrimp. I’s now stuffded and the anesthesia is wearing off, so my head is aching. I think it might be time to assume the recline position and watch TV. ---

{{Red}} Happy Bobbio Day! Had a day 'o blurf. Apparently I have irk tonight- I think it’s a student party, and the boss is planning to be in attandance. I am not looking forward to this. I’ve spent most of the day applying for jobs- the local job market seems to be picking up a bit lately, so I hope something will come up, and I can just get away from this stupid situation… I’d cross my fingers, but that makes it a little tricky to type. Anyway, I should go recaffeinate if it’ll be a late one. ---

It’s decided that I am going to leave in the morning. The drive can be as short as 70 minutes or as long as 3 and a half hours so I’ll leave at 7 to be there by 10. I hate to drive all the way down there and not bring something back so I’ll load up the rest of my books before I come home. Sometime in the next few months I have to renew my drivers license and Sah-dog is due for his rabies shot. I’m trying to find a rabies clinic up this way. I probably should get him a license too, being that he has never had one in his life. One thing I am bad about is getting a dog license. It started when I lived in the city where you are allowed only 2 pets. I always had more than 2 so why call attention to that by buying 4-5 licenses? Yes, I’m a law breaker, but all my pets were strays and I felt I was doing the city a service by taking them off the streets. . Dumb ass Carmen from credit card services call me again today, gave me a chance to vent some of my tension. Leftover meatballs for N.O.L. ---

I wish I could say I did something today that was more eventful than wandering around town this morning looking everywhere for a specific type of cardboard, but yeah, that’s what I did. Found some eventually. Practiced the clarinet. Made more doughnuts. I hope the next few days will go well. ---

Haha! 🙂 No, I’m sure my doughnuts are edible. They’re made out of dough. And not nuts. Or cardboard. ---

My sweetie has taken care of the boo-boo on my head, cleaning off the ointment, swabbing it with peroxide, and applying fresh ointment. It feels a little weird - not painful, but not normal. I just need to not touch it since there’s no way to bandage it other than wrapping me up with gauze. I’m hoping a thick layer of ointment will keep it healing. And on that note, I think I’ll recline a little while, then hit the rack. I haz a sad because Jon Stewart is going to leave The Daily Show. ☹ _ **MWAH!** _ ---
