Nothing. I’m “recovering” from surgery. I might take a shower later. But I have to finish this cup of coffee first. _sigh_ it’s hard being me. ---

This. Or the dishes. I prefer this. What tests would you have on Sunday? You don’t have to study for a test until the day before. 😉 ---

I should be heading for church. But I’m not. I’m here. My 6 y.o. son is in the middle of a terribly violent battle with forces only he can see and my husband is making a grocery list. Clearly we cannot proceed to church in the middle of all this. I hope I’m forgiven for this. ---

I should be reading MacBeth. Or working on an AP Environmental paper. Or doing AP government homework. But instead I’m reading the Dope, and after I’m done with that, I believe I’ll attempt to use the new non-permanent hair dye I picked up in hopes that this one will actually show up on my hair and not look awful. ---

I’ve a three day weekend that I’m on the first day of, so there isn’t a whole lot that I _should_ be doing. I suppose I could be trying to finish the LOTR:ROTK video game or playing Fatal Frame 2. ---

> [@Lobsang](#): > > 00:46. I _should_ be either sleeping or reading, but I’m getting drunk. Me too! We are the same. I should be NOT getting drunk. I should be sleeping, reading…actually, that’s only MY opinion. I would just be reading for fun, it’s only that I feel it’s more productive than drinking wine. But who’s to say! ---

Don’t worry, your embroidery needle will turn up inside someone’s foot very soon. 😃 I should be in bed. I am sick. But bed (alone) is boring and I’ve just spent most of the last three days there. Maybe I’ll make another pot of tea and spend the next half-hour SDMBing. That sounds much more fun. And if i start to hallucinate and post really weird things it will be amusing. ---
