Caught a cold.

I can’t believe I slept all day and only had one dream I can remember. All I remember is waking up with nobody else in the house and all the lights being out. I walked around trying to find a flashlight so I could fix the blown fuse and when I woke up I thought I was still trying to fix the lights.

 All day and that’s all I have to report.

Exciting lives.

My sister was saying her friends went out to an art gallery opening, and another friend went to see some live music, but she had a headache and went to bed early. Well, I stayed up late taking megacorp training last night, so do I have her beat?

I spent most of the day wiring up a couple of phones in her house. I’m not sure what took so long, but I guess I did go out furniture shopping with them rather than work all the way through.

In the evening I had a call from an ex-girlfriend. I’m sure there are exciting stories that could be told by others when they get calls from their ex-girlfriends, but for me it’s usually about fixing her computer. I think she has someone else fixing her computer now, so this time it was a social call. She dragged me to a goth book reading where I was one of the few not wearing black. In fact, if I could have dressed up as, “Hello, Kitty” I think I would have. (And before you ask, no, I’m not into “that sort of thing.”)

Before the book reading we met at a restaurant and she gave me directions that were not only off by three blocks but had me walking in the wrong direction after parking. I’d already eaten so I just had a great Pot de Creme. I stole a glance at the menu and a cheeseburger is $12. She told me it was a good hamburger, and it better be for $12.

So, there you have it. The most exciting nights of the week (Friday and Saturday night) and not much to show for it except an email from megacorp HR confirming my completion of my online training.Â
