Unfathomably,
gods or gremlins line our souls...
enticingly vague.

Another long day on my feet... I was the runner today, and I hit every vein that I aimed at. As usual, there were a couple that I turned over to more experienced hands without even aiming at them.

I have become exceedingly disgusted with my mailing list through e-groups, and will be switching over to the one on my server. Not right now, though... my mind is too tard, dammit.

I have switched over a smaller list, though, and now I just have my fingers crossed that it will work. O'wait, that's definitely a religious/superstitious statement... instead, I will just wish good fortune on myself and my efforts, heh.

And hopefully, the notices will be more timely... I just today got the notice that I sent out Sunday.

Karen is thinking about having the laser surgery on her eyes, she has an appointment Friday in KC. I hope that will work out for her... and that we can afford to pay for it. Some way or another, they have a sliding scale of how much it costs. Which is interesting, 'cause it's all computer-guided, maybe they are counting the number of keystrokes? And I'll just bet that nobody gets by with the cheaper price.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow and seeing the cardiologist. I'm putting an awful lot of hope into this new treatment.

But I do think that my irregularities might well be the cause of my general fatigue. Right now, for instance, I'm in a tri-geminal pattern... every third beat is off, and does me absolutely no good at all. And I'm just sitting here doing essentially nothing. When I'm active, like this morning at work, I was in a bi-geminal pattern, every other beat was a miss.

It kinda seems like they could ramp up Thor (my pacemaker) so it would over-ride everything, but that would probably not be conducive to a range of activities....

I'll have all of the answers tomorrow, I hope.

And I've decided that whenever it can be done I should do it, regardless of the situation at work. Right now we are a tech short, and that's a problem for those remaining troops. And they would be in a bind if I wasn't there... but really, that's not my problem.

Needless to say, they will, in the long run, benefit from having me back with twice as much energy, heh.

I do, of course, do my fair share of the work, and so does everyone else, but it takes a hell of a lot out of me because of the heart thing. And probably the age thing, too, come to think of it.

And it's almost bedtime... 05:30 is awfully early.
