ODDS & ENDS

Sometimes when I'm at a stop sign I will unknowingly turn on my blinker even when I have no intention of turning. I don't realize I've done it until I'm through the intersection. I hate it when that happens.

Today the split ends of my hair carry far more entertainment value than work. They are riveting. I could spend hours....and when I find a really split hair it's an accomplishment. Bonus! Then I get to pull it off or split it up even further. Hair is absolutely captivating today. I'm surprised I could pull myself away to type this up.

I see someone almost everyday who walks with no smile. Straight forward is the gaze and the nose is in the air. I've seen people leave funerals happier than this person generally looks. Maybe she is mourning the loss of her personality.

Cold Stone Ice Cream is great. It's spendy, but sometimes it's well worth the treat. I had Oatmeal Cookie Batter last time I was there. I could have sworn it was the real thing. Oatmeal included. It's one of their flavors that are going out of rotation. I hope to have it again before it's gone forever.

The Banana Cream Pie blizzard at DQ isn't so bad either.

Speaking of sweets, Baker Boy frozen cookie dough has been a weakness lately. 24 or so frozen little round cookies hang around in the freezer waiting to be our dessert. They're so great. I recommend the M&M Cookie ones. Go get some!

I'm heading for home tonight. I think it's supposed to get ugly outside sometime and I hope it doesn't do it while I'm trying to get to Minot. Otherwise I'll just have to leave on Saturday instead. Julia and I are going to hang out and spend some quality time. I'm looking forward to it.

If anybody knows anything about getting a morphine drip on an IV rack at work - the kind with the rescue push button - let me know. I think I need to make that investment. So far Skelaxin, Tramadol and Esgic haven't helped all that much. I don't know if that's big time medication, but it hasn't done dick for my pain. The Lorcet was helpful, but far too short lived. DRUGS! I NEED DRUGS!

Well, okay maybe all I really need is a beer. That would suffice nicely.

Anyway, I think I've said all I need to say. I need to get back to picking at my hair.

PS - Yes I am aware that there was a nasty storm last night. No, I didn't suffer any damages. I live in an apartment building. Yep - with a garage. Yeah it was pretty scary.

That ought to cover the rest of the afternoon!
