I'm still here...
Feb. 18th, 2012 04:26 pm.. but this ongoing cold or allergy or whatever it is has really had me to stuffed up to think. I was supposed to spend last weekend working on a writing project. Ha. I'm bring a pad of paper with me to work tomorrow and redoing my outline. It's going to be dead as hell with the holiday weekend. Speaking of which, I went close to three hours today without the phone ringing, the on line reservation system trumpeting, or the email alert going off. Yes, I was bored silly.
And I did bring a book. Sadly, the book was so boring I've returned it to the library with only a quarter of it read. The author or translator decided that when in doubt use the longest word possible, and the writing itself jumped from topic to topic with no discernible logic. We'd go from discussing Heraclius' campaigns against the Persians to a twenty page discussion of Christian heresies for no good reason. Plus the author seemed to assume that everyone reading would know what ranks like Caesar or Augustus meant, or the locations of places when given their contemporary names. Both very bad things in what is advertised as an overview of a complex topic. So that went back to the library most unread.
What else is going on... we're making at least one Giants game this season, and it's the June 27th game against the hated Blue Menace. Kirsten, me, and my mom will be going up. I do have the mysterious writing project to jump on, and I do want to take some small advantage of the extension of disability benefits to get new bookcases. I know exactly which ones I want.
Now I think it is nap time.
