Daily Nilknarf Haiku

consternation swept
the ranks... and the soldiers cried,
"please send in the tanks!"


Pretty good day, was today.

Moserately busy, and there were only three of us there until 10:30, but we did all right.

And I have to confess, I'm looking around the hospital and noticing lots of pretty girls... girls about my age, I mean.

I interpret this as a good thing... I think.

Dating is scary, though. I've always been more than moderately shy around ladies that I'm attracted to, at least until I get to know them.

And I'm not talking just shy... I mean absolutely tongue-tied and thoroughly afraid that I will do or say something to make them laugh at me....

And yeah, I've been that way all of my life.

But I am feeling like climbing out of my shell, over the wall that I've built and dipping a toe into the ocean....

That doesn't mean that I'm not still afraid of sharks....

There are a lot of shark in the ocean.

Aspbergers' all over, dammit. I have compensated well, though, but that's just from my viewpoint.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch....

I came home at 16:30... I was supposed to be the late guy who stayed until 17:30, but the tech who works evenings told me to go home, nothing was happening and she could handle it... I don't let opportunities like that pass me by if I can help it.

I came home and finished cleaning out the bookcase and got it moved to its' new home by the door on the east side of the living room.

I haven't put the books back in it yet, because I'm not sure if I want to center it or not, and I want to hang pictures either on one side or both sides....

And I got the dishes washed and a few other chores taken care of.

I slept pretty well last night, but once again I snoozebarred for a half-hour.

And the less I eat, the hungrier I get, dammit.

I hate, hate, hate! thinking about food all of the time.

And my fasting BS isn't really going down all that much... once again, I think that I am subconsciously over-compensating based on the memory of last Wednesday when I wound up in the ER....

But since I'm writing about it, it can't really be sub-conscious, can it?

O'well, off to bed I go... I've gotta remember to wear my jeans tomorrow, I've already paid for the privilege.
