I need a week off. My house is messy (never did get to dusting or cleaning the kitchen). I did laundry and got groceries, but I lifted the groceries wrong somehow and hurt my back yesterday. Still very sore and having trouble moving around without pain today. *sigh* I really didn’t need this. And I have no sick time or vacation time, so I’ll be at work tomorrow. Yuck.

A wistful afternoon. I intended to get work done on the website, to get more done on the house and only managed about a third of what I hoped to do. If I wasn’t in pain from my back, I could put in a 2 or 3 hour push and accomplish a ton, but I can hardly walk. I guess relaxing is an accomplishment too considering how little of that I’ve gotten to do in the last month.

If you read your mail in Netscape Communicator and you have a lot of messages, like, oh say, 6691 unread monkeyjunkies postings, and something bad happens and you can’t seem to look at that folder because the browser crashes when it tries to load the summary file, go into the message center and compress the folder. It might save your little monkey butt.

That worries a bit, although [former boyfriend]’s more of a druggie than I thought. Oh well.

Why do we I always often have to write abut typical issues? I don't always feel like doing it, but actually I do get into it once I start.

[boy o’ the moment] is planning to make a still. I will make myself stop thinking about him.

Poor Deanna. Eric went to L.A. and it seems like he might be away for a long time. I still envy her.
