I have a ticket home. Monday, 5th January, leaves here at 13:52 and get there at 18:12.

I also have a new book. A lovely little hardback copy of Christopher Reeve's second book, which I hadn't been able to find until now. £2.99 instead of £14.99. Bargain. And a fuggin awesome book. His first one was pretty fuggin awesome, but I read that a long time ago (1998, when it came out). This one is pretty funny.

"Teacher: Why weren't you in class yesterday?
Student: Sir, I wasn't feeling very well.
Teacher: The only excuse for nonattendance is quadruple amputation. But even then, they can still bring you to class in a basket."

"I remember thoroughly embarrassing another nurse her first day on the job. I had been treated for a skin breakdown in the sacral area, which had plagued me for months but finally healed. Lying on my left side I asked her, "How's my butt?" She replied, "It looks great to me." I said, "I know that. But what about my skin?" She turned crimson. For a moment I thought I'd lost her, but thankfully she came back for her next shift, and after all these years she's still here checking out my butt on a daily basis."
