Well, I got up on time this morning after another troubled night... weird dreams, awaking every half-hour, stuff like that.

I had a bad feeling about the day, but I didn't feel rotten enough to call in... but damned close to it.

I was running the scan room today, and we were busy enough that I could kinda forget about my problems and concentrate on the patients.

But when I *did* have time to think about it, I realized that I was still running a fever... went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror... my cheeks (the ones on my face!) were rosy.

I usually have a pallor about my countenance, and I worry when it's not there.

Anyway, I made it through the day... we ran until about 14:30, and then there was a lull. I decided to leave at 15:00, went by the bank to get some cash for the trip and went by the filling station and filled the truck up. It's not been decided who's gonna be driving it yet, most likely Karen. It doesn't really matter to me, of course.

And I finally got to talk to my niece Cathy this evening... we're gonna have dinner with them one night, and hopefully see Terry and hers at the same time.

I am really chuffed about this trip, if you couldn't tell.

And now I need to get some sleep... tomorrow is gonna be a rough day, we're short two techs, and we have at least two biopsy procedures... and it's not my turn to do them, dammit. So I'll be stuck in the department with a fill-in tech - a lady who's a damned good tech, but doesn't spend a lot of time with us. And we've got an overly-full schedule.

And Friday, I'm planning on leaving at noon, come home and finish packing... and take a long nap before meeting the boys at KCI.

I've got all of my music on a portable HD which will hook up to my laptop which will hook up to the stereo in the van....

I'm ready for a week away from work, yes I am.


"All my life I have made it a rule, never to permit a religious man or woman to take for granted that his or her religious beliefs deserved more consideration than non-religious or anti-religious ones. I never agree with the foolish statement that I ought to respect the views of others when I believe them to be wrong"
