Dammit, things just don't work out right some time, do they?
My plan, yesterday, was to get some actual work done around here, then take a nap.
Well, I was really too tired to start any projects, so I thought that I'd take a nap first.
Nope... didn't work.
Still no energy... so I caught up on a lot of old emails. Nap. Didn't work. Didn't work.
Finally, about 15:30 I drifted off. And then I was up at 17:30 for the night. Made some coffee so I could stay up until 22:00 or so.
Went to bed when Karen did... she wanted me to listen to the babbling brook instead of the white noise that I normally do. Well, OK.
Weird dreams. Mom, stop reading now....
I was in a fairly large room, full of computers running every flavor of OS that there is, but I was undaunted by that. What I was daunted by was the task at hand... building a network that would connect all of the souls on the world. But I didn't really believe in souls, and I was doubtful that I would be able to complete my task without some divine intervention.
And I did not want to believe in divine intervention, either. So I asked god to help me.
I'm leaving a lot out of this, by the way... there was a long period of fiddling around, it seems. Anyways...
And the lights started lighting up... all of the ping times were acceptable, everything seemed to be working.
But there was a message on the main console... the one with the look and feel of my old Commodore 64.
"The souls on this network are unacceptable. They are black and withered like yours.
At 02:00.
With a very itchy body again.
I got up and took a shower and slathered on more cortisone goop and tried to sleep some more, to no avail.
More welts, and the ones that I already had are more pronounced. I'm really getting tired of this shit, I think that I'll go see my real doc today and see what he can do for me... the prednisone is not doing it's job.
And I'm wondering if I might have increased sensitivity due to my latest medication... the triglyceride reducer. Yes, I'm grasping at straws here... I've been on it for a coupla months now, but still...
Additionally, I'm running a low-grade fever, probably have been for days now, I just remembered to take it.
10:41...
OK. Got some more drugs... essentially the same that I had before, but much, much stronger. Doc person said that they'd maybe knock me out. Being's I'm running on a sleep deficit here, I think that I'll welcome that...
More tomorrow...
Terminate network.
All tasks shut down.
Power down.
."
I remember trying to do a reboot and getting nothing before I woke up in a cold sweat.
I got an appointment to see the doc (well, the PA) this morning, so I'll see what she has to say. Meantime, I've been downloading songs like crazy from Napster... it's a damned disease, I tell ya! And I love it!
