what's with *today* today?
1) Someone called in sick this morning. (That someone was not me.) We had to turn in our timesheets yesterday, which means extra work for me, so this is no surprise to anyone. It's pretty standard practice around here, actually.
2) Apparently the air in my house is not working. I think it's actually been out since Tuesday night, but I didn't notice because I slept at the hospital on Tuesday, and until last night I hadn't really been home enough to tell that it was 80 degrees and humid in my living room. Of course I can't take one more second of work off this week, and I have to work all day Saturday, so I can't even do anything about it until next week at the earliest. I don't even want to think about what it's going to cost.
2a) I suppose it's lucky I have to work so much this weekend, since my house is disgusting. I could go squat at my sister's place since they're out of town, but I like being where my stuff is, frankly. Also I feel bad for the cats since they're stuck in the heat.
3) I found a new direction for the wingfic. It came to me at the sleep clinic, actually. The problem is that if I do it right, it's going to add probably another 10-15,000 words to the story. Not ideal.
4) Today is the worst day of my period and I rushed out of my house late and left the box of tampons I picked up yesterday sitting on my bathroom counter. I would go home and fetch them, but see #2 re: not having one second of vacation time or sick leave left. Of course there's nowhere in downtown Knoxville to purchase such things, so I will just have to hope for the best.
5) My head still hurts. But that probably goes without saying at this point. I see the surgeon on Wednesday, so maybe they'll just schedule my procedure then and I can get it over with quickly. Then again, I don't really want to think about how much that's going to cost either. Even with good health insurance, I'm still racking up medical bills left and right these days.
6) Ironically it is so cold in my office today that I'm wearing a sweater. Naturally.
