what a day! I got last minute call to walk hellpup, drove all the way down there, cussing the whole time, only to find out I forgot the key and had to go back home to get it. I hate driving, I think I shouldn’t drive anymore. ---

I just got my third call today from a fucking telemarketer. So far I have won two _free_ trips to the Bahamas and one to Vegas. Too bad I can’t figure out a way to give them a free trip straight to hell. ---

> [@Filbert](#): > > Arrr, I live in the West Country- every day is talk like a pirate day! 😃 I went to [East Carolina](http://www.ecu.edu/ecu/athletics.php). I talk like a pirate every day. We do not talk like you’d expect. Went up a mountain after irk today. It was nice and just what I needed. I also saw a solid black wooly worm, which confirms my feeling that we’re in for a very bad winter. ---

I found a toonie ($2 coin) on the ground today! Yay, I’m rich. I can buy a croissant or a juice or something. Or I can save it for change when I go to the craft fair on Saturday. ---

Well, no one (doctorwise) cares if I have anything if my temperature doesn’t hit 101! My observation went well so that was good. The bad news is now someone is stabbing me in the throat and plugging my nose so I can’t breathe. If I don’t feel better in the morning I am going to call the doctor again, though, and tell them to guess again because this is getting old. ---

I’m hungry but probably won’t eat until after I’m done with irk. I’m craving some pork chop casserole, the one made with cream of mushroom soup. I’m not going to make that tonight but maybe tomorrow. ---

Big ol’ case of heebie-jeebies for my return to work next week. Am I ready to go back to work? Will I remember what I do for work? Was I wrong to ask doc to release me to work two weeks earlier than he generally does? Would I have gone completely insane with two more weeks sitting around at home? Would I still have a job since FMLA has expired? AUGH! ---
