dribs and drabs

I actually managed to walk almost all the way to work today on a sidewalk. Well, the St. John's construction of a snow sidewalk, which is wherever the plow went, which could be on the actual sidewalk or could be ten or twelve feet into the road. Regardless, I had a sidewalk for most of the trip, which was nice.

I was sick all weekend, which totally blew. Some weird kind of cold where I blew my nose so much it felt like it was broken, and was really sleepy and really cold all the time. I feel better today, but I have a ton of homework to do that I'm now horribly behind on. Wish me luck that I can get it done tonight and tomorrow afternoon.

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I had one last week, too, but that was for prescription renewals. Now I have to get my yearly physical. With a new doctor that I only just met. She seems really nice, but I usually like to be on a first-name basis with people who jam cold metal implements up my yoo-hoo. So hopefully that will go well.

Mostly spent the weekend on the couch, sleeping through The Dog Whisperer, as our internet is still broken, and won't be fixed until tomorrow. We threatened to cancel with Rogers and they credited us the entire month where we didn't have internet, which was nice.

Finished watching the first season of Arrested Development, which was lent to me by one of the lawyers here. I am not generally a huge fan of awkward humour but the characters grew on me towards the end. Pie and I were disappointed with the second-last episode, however. With Angus and Travis saying "BEEE-EEES?" all the time, we were expecting that there would be more of a bit there, instead of just a remark in passing. We agreed that Travis and Angus are funnier (at least, for that part).

We're also halfway through Stephen King's The Stand miniseries. So far it's just as weird as every other Stephen King film I've ever seen. Molly Ringwald is in it as brunette. She's very pretty but not acting very well. I can only hope it improves . . .

Oh, and I got kicked out of work early on Friday because they wanted to turn the library into a BAR for a QC reception. Gotta love my work. They like to party.
