Looong Day

As expected, I woke up around five and then drifted in and out for an hour or so, got up around 6.10. So that's going on 14 hours. I have not been continuously upright for this many hours since June. My back is screaming at me, "What, are you KIDDING?"

It was a fine day, other than the fatigue aspect. Did what I needed to do, saw folk. The SCM actually called in sick today, so, still no news on what's going on with him and retirement plans. My first question to him tomorrow, assuming he actually shows up, has got to be "Just exactly how many sick days do you have?" Second question: "And are you taking them all between now and February?"

R left work early today to see a dermatologist -- mine -- because she had developed this odd mark on her face, which has now faded, and she picked a doctor near her off a list and went last week and no one showed up at the office. She and another patient just sat there, waiting, and no doctor, not even a receptionist, appeared. So I told her I'd feel a lot better if she just saw my doctor, who is very, very good. So she took the train her to B-Town and K picked her up, after which we went to the Red Lobster, aka the only restaurant you can eat in if you're on W8 Watchers (don't talk to me about Applebee's), and then we drove her home. (It was just sun damage, btw, not serious.)

I needed to make a quick call to the Sibs and then the Colleague (who is much better), but the C got another call and has to call me back. But I just want to go to sleep! Okay, I want to put my cute little lunch together and then go to sleep.

But first, change the channel. The new 90210 just came in, and I will watch a lot of crap, but I will not watch that.
