But the note won’t keep me from getting drowsy all afternoon, which is what I’m trying to avoid. ---

The woman I worked under at the Library, upon noting that her pain medication bore the warning, “Use of alcohol or marijuana may increase the effectiveness of this drug”, exclaimed, “Hey! I’ve got anote from my Doctor!” 🙂 ---

Speaking of drugs, I’ve been wrestling with the new computer again and now I’m trying to de-headache myself by taking pills and drinking a Dr Pepper (which has caffeine in it and I heard that can be a painkiller.) Wish I had more coffee. Or, after all that stress, I wonder if alcohol or marijuana will increase the effectiveness of my pills or Dr Pepper. 😛 ---

Finally heard from the surgeon, he has been waiting to hear from the cardiologist. So now the surgeon is going to call the cardiologist and get back to me about the surgery, I said no hurry on this, I am not looking forward to being gutted like a fish. The first available date they have is April 15th. Surgery on Tax Day, get all the misery over with at the same time. We will see, Snow is melting. Sah-dog did a walkabout in the back yard. I was afraid he’d get stuck and I’d have to go get him but he did pretty well. ---

Alcohol may reduce pain, but when you sober up, those bruises can still hurt. …why no, I don’t know how I learned that… 😉 ---

Had my favorite birthday dinner — meatloaf with Mexican corn with a little wing sauce mixed in. Now sitting back for a food coma and a cigar so big Swampykins would faint. Life is good. ---

Today I came in to work and opened my locker. My computer was gone. Wtfxorzlollololzzz?! Right? It’s not especially valuable, everyone has one, it’s all proprietary software, you can’t just hawk it for blow, and If someone lost theirs and tried using mine it would be easy to find on the network. In my peripheral a noticed some writing. It was familiar. It was my name. It was written on my locker. I was not in my locker. Rather than opening my locker, I entered my combination into another random locker. It clicked open. I tried another. It opened. There are 160 lockers lined up in a grid with individual padlocks on them and they apparently all have the same combination. Wtfxorzlollolwut? Right? ---

**Emtar KronJonDerSohn** - Wow, that’s weird. But I guess your computer wasn’t gone after all? I want to make cupcakes, but I don’t really have anyone to make them for but my family, and I don’t think we could eat them all ourselves. Maybe I should throw a party, just for an excuse to make cupcakes. ---

That’s a bit unsettling. Definitely don’t keep anything actually valuable in your locker, let management know, and DON’T spread word around unnecessarily.
