Thoughts on the Day

  • I got through the first night of night shift OK.  One pot of coffee and a liter of Coke Zero seemed to do the trick.
  • Got about 4 hours of sleep this afternoon, and I hoped to catch a nap before I go to work.
    • Of course, hope is not a plan, so I am doing my shift tonight on a little less sleep than is considered optimal.
  • When did the Air Force start promoting teenagers to Lieutenant Colonel.
    • Seriously, the guy I talked to today had to be no more than half my age.
  • The ID card section had the picture from my 1996 ID card on file.  Unfortunately, they made me take another picture today.
    • Interestingly enough, I had more hair in 1996 with a white-sidewall high and tight than I do now.
  • It must be Christmas time.  Irish Woman is sick with a virus and it looks like it’s going to make a complete sweep of the family.
  • So far, I’ve dropped five daily reads, four podcasts, and a handful of people I read on Facebook.  Nothing like a crisis of conscience to get you to clean out your social media cupboard.
  • Is it jut me, or is the BOLO series of books generally depressing?
  • Nothing says “Merry Christmas!” like “Where Eagles Dare” and “Kelly’s Heroes”.
  • I don’t agree with Navarette on his position on civil rights, but I appreciate his sentiments on common decency and wholeheartedly agree.
  • I thought I’d have something healthy for dinner tonight, so I ordered a salad.  It’s still healthy if it’s got fried chicken, cheese, and ranch dressing on it, right?  I mean, it still had shaved carrots.

    Out of curiosity, what podcasts did you drop?

    The holiday icks have hit here, too. I was at the doc’s on Friday, with a nasty ear infection (still can’t hear right out of my left ear). I was back in today with Large Fry, who has a nasty ear infection and bronchitis. And Medium Fry came downstairs about 40 minutes after she went to bed, crying because her ear hurt so badly that she couldn’t sleep. So it’s back to the clinic tomorrow…I think I’ll ask for a script for Small Fry, just to be safe.

      You poor things. Nothing worse than a little one with an ear ache. Hope everyone feels better!

        It smacked into all four of us girls. We’re all on antibiotics, and feeling better. Now if my ears would stop playing Rice Krispies, I’d be really happy. Oh, and I’d like my left ear to pop and fully drain. That’d be good. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about school in the midst of all this fun! 🙂
