ok so earlier, I finally got around to clearing off the second camera card. the not-lost one. obviously. which is how I knew that the missing card has pictures between jan 21 and may 15.

anyway. so after every thousand pictures, the camera creates a new folder on the card

the first folder was fine. beautiful. no problems.

the second folder is almost completely fucked up. somehow this is even worse than an entire lost card because I don't remember what's even on there. but this one... I know a lot of whats missing! all the pictures from the first day I did my hair, hundreds of pictures of steve's nephew on his 1st birthday, hundreds of pictures of aubrey's baby kitties the first time I went down there. all but 4 of the pictures I took at the sears tower, all the pictures from the 4th. pretty much everything from chicago is gone. and who knows what else that I didn't even have one or two of.

and then!

I was trying to back up from one drive to another and the drive I was copying from kept restarting in the middle of what it was doing so I had to do it in smaller and smaller pieces and keep doing it over and over. fucking electronics. I hate them right now.

grr.

oh. and I think I have a cut on the bottom of my foot and I feel a little nauseated from dinner. I think I had either poisoned salad or poisoned mocha. either way, bleah.

and grrr.

The question yesterday (Is the attire for some female Olympians too skimpy?) was about this column: http://tinyurl.com/6n7mcg

There was one guy who must have called at least 10 times. From all of his comments, I gathered:

he does not like the columnist
he does not like female athletes
he does not think females are worth much of anything
he thinks the columnist is fat and unattractive
he thinks that means she isn't entitled to her opinion


I got a few comments similar to that last one actually, which makes me wonder: if she were what were conventionally considered "hot", would she then be entitled to her opinion? Or would she then just be a "bitch" because if you have that sort of opinion, there must be some sort of bad label to pin on you? Something to think about.

I kinda wanted to kick him.

Things that are bugging me today (already):

1. had bad dream about someone coming into the house and stealing my
laptop and letting out the cats
2. couldn't find anything to wear to work because I'm too fat to wear
any of my clothes. which were bought because I was too fat.
3. head/jaw still hurts
4. Steve left the front door unlocked all night (again), reminding me of my bad dream and
why I probably had it!

I actually managed to get to bed less late last night. The best time would be 8 or 8:30 so I have time to settle down and actually fall asleep. But I got to bed at 9 and I was nice and drifty and then suddenly in my drifting I remembered I hadn't taken my allergy drugs. So back up for a second at about 9:30 to take them. Back to feeling drifty and then sleeping.

Things were going swimmingly for several hours. Then for hours and hours there was loud snoring. Right by my head. Loudly. Gah! Some of it I was able to tune out sort of and half sleep, and for some of it I just couldn't. I remember around 2:30 wishing I could whomp him with something.

Of course right about the time that I have to get up is when he stops. Usually right before, so it's just enough time for me to drift back into sleepy land and then the stupid alarm goes off. Why?? It somehow makes it even worse, knowing that I could have gotten sleep if he could have just been like that when I could be sleeping! >:(

In more pleasant news, I have a snuggly Biscuit on my lap.

Yesterday I had a bit of a headache. I'm tired of headaches. I didn't do anything too exciting with my afternoon. I washed my work pants and did two loads of shirts and sweaters. They needed to be done though. I visited Biscuit a bit but he was in the mood to be crazy so he had to go back to jail. I had too much sweet stuff. We still have cupcakes and lots of ice cream cake. I had some of both and then felt icky.

Had dinner with Mike. Tasty veggie burgers and corn slaw. It made me feel far less yucky than the cake and ice cream did.

Steve was nice and bought compact fluorescent bulbs. And then he was nice and decided to replace the bulb for me that I replaced earlier with a regular bulb. Unfortunately, he did not actually replace that bulb. He replaced one that did not need to be replaced and broke a CF bulb on the bathroom counter in the process. I appreciated his help but grr. Ok I appreciated his desire to help and the effort he thought he was putting in. The basement bulb still needs to be replaced.

Last night I dabbed a little tea tree oil on a couple spots on my face. Tea tree oil is some serious Biscuit bait. I didn't let him near the actual spots but he was on my back and then on my head while I was on the floor. He was trying very hard to get at it. He's so weird.

Recovery still progressing. Today is day 8 and I'm glad we're through the first week. He's still trying to do more than he's supposed to but during the week it's easier because he has to be confined when we're gone.
When I'm home I start to feel really bad about it as he's in there mewing pitifully.

I went to pick up Mikale yesterday and realized that there was nowhere in the back for him to sit. Harry had taken the seats out of his van. So I just took him home and Mary met us there and she took him out to grandma's. I took Jack (canine version) out while I waited. He was pleased. I took some pictures of him.

I uploaded more pictures to my flickr. Go look! There are squirrels!

I'm sleepy again today. I'm ready to adjust to the time change any time now.

Radiator in the car has a hole in it. So that's going to have to be fixed and I think (hope) that will solve the problem. If it can't be fixed it will have to be replaced. More $$$. Ready to start going in the other direction.
