howeird: (Weird Dream)
Woke up at 5 am or so feeling blah. Hgl was 60. Self-medicated with a Klondike bar, guilty because I'm not supposed to have dairy with the latest meds. Sat in front of the TV watching morning news. Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC and the local indie channel all had the same stories, in the same words (or close to it - with their own political twist). WTF were five sheriff's deputies in CO doing playing Jr. SWAT team without the protective gear, returning to a domestic disturbance call one of theirs had walked away from earlier as not worth pursuing? Who cares what Kim Foo Foo says he has on his desk? Red nuke button? Pshaw.

Back to bed, up at 7:30 because that's when the lights come on on weekdays. Pit stop, back to bed & turned off the lights.
Dream seemed real. I am in England, probably London, a guest in an ancient boarding house. I hear another guest announcing that the sewer has backed up in his loo. Landlady complains a lot as she mops it up.

I go to use my loo (on a different floor) and as I sit down the whole London sewer system spurts out from the john.

Landlady says she's on her way, but I suddenly wake up. Worried that the dream was a poo-warning, but no, all clear down there.

9:30 am was wake-up time.

Feeling a bit out of it I drag myself to the bathroom for my usual morning stuff, though I really ought to have stayed in bed. Except I needed drugs and breakfast.
KCEA played one of my favorite WWII (?) songs, The White Cliffs of Dover. And it made me wonder if there are bluebirds over now? Last I heard it was only seagulls. I'll ask my UK cousins.

Spent most of the day in bed. Crowbarred my way out at about 9 for a shower and a breakfast banana. Spent some Zoe time.

Things accomplished:
Corn dog for lunch
Opened the box with the 3-pack of litterbox cartridges
Changed Zoe's litterbox
Swapped out Zoe's big leaky water tower for a smaller, hopefully non-leaky one
In bed, binge watched Netflix Travelers
In the recliner, watched some of the college football games (don't have cable in the bedroom)

Got dressed to take the garbage bins out to the curb. Two neighbors were out, I gave them calendars.
(I had deposited most of the recycles in the bin on Saturday)
Took down my 2017 calendars and put up 2018
Printed more gold foil copyright labels and labeled all the remaining calendars. Intend to give them away at Worldcon
Put away some bills
Paid my DMV registration - it has doubled. :-(
Emailed 3 friends for snailmail addresses since I can't get to a BASFA meeting to give one to them. And there's one person I kn ow wants one whom I do not want to have The Chat with. She sabotaged the Worldcon panel she invited me to be on.

Had a low Hgl mid afternoon, ate some blueberries, mango chunks, walnuts & honey.

Sounds like a lot, but most of my time has been in bed. The fever hit around 8:30. I made some chicken soup & matzo balls for dinner & replayed the 6 o'clock news with its half hour special on cannabis. I need to talk to my doctor about getting a card for my sciatica.

Plans for tomorrow:
Try for a normal work day
Probably sync with boss
