The above was a headline in the local commuter paper back in the fall. When I first read it, it took me a full five seconds for my brain to come back to reality and understand what it actually meant. :P
Last week in a nutshell:
Wednesday: DEAR NOSE PLZ TO STOP RUNNING NOW KTHX
Thursday: went grocery shopping, collapsed from the ded. Wrote a song because CLEARLY the acquisition of elementary guitar skillz requires it. Silly, but not unpleased with results; unfortunately incapable of playing it at a tempo that does not kill the singer (i.e. me). Did not go to orchestra due to being ded.
Friday: WHY AM I INCAPABLE OF SLEEPING AT NIGHT NOW? Had not been able to sleep before 2 or 3 am any night last week; Friday got up at 7 to call Vlad and tell him nope, sorry, not today either, and just didn't go back to sleep. Spent all day waiting to go to bed. Took magnesium supplements, drank good tea, and went to sleep at 9. :D
Saturday: Dress rehearsal. Skipped out on Liszt to have a nap. Tanya wonderfully understanding.
Sunday: Iron Chef Iron Chef Iron Chef CONCERT!!! Concert went well on the whole, but I was hanging by a thread by the end. I would have died even more if Leif hadn't been playing utility for the Beethoven. He did okay. I was proud of him despite mistakes. Disappointed with self for not being able to blow it out the back wall, but sick happens and I got most of the important stuff.
Monday: BACK AT WORK! But the paint started freezing on the walls because the door guys were doing their thing, so Vlad sent me home at noon. Orchestra was fun. KEY SIGNATURES WHAT. It's because it's choral music, but all four of us were thrown for a loop.
Today: Work. Block filler in a stairwell. Not too bad, but I started getting headachey and a little dizzy after lunch, so I went home at 2:30. Booked JET interview! Just have to figure out logistics of going to Calgary in February. Went to MediCentre to ask about my tonsils and was in and out in fifteen minutes flat. O_o Doctor did not seem concerned. Said, in fact, that he thought my tonsils would be very happy in Japan. In other words, apparently they don't need to come out. He took a swab, but doesn't think anything will come of it.
