*sigh* I had a bad day at work Monday … Without going into the gruesome details, I ended up with some nasty stuff splashed across the front of me. I had my mouth open (talking) at the time, and a fair amount went into my mouth. I was hoping that the only repurcussions were going…

Did I need last week off or what? Boston was wonderful, and I now feel guilty that I didn’t keep a few notes each day so that I could go back and update my diary accordingly. Ah well, live and learn. When I go to California/Oregon next month I’ll try to do that. The conference…

I’m off to the American Veterinary Medical Association convention.[I’ve a sneaking suspicion I’ll be checking in before I get back. They usually have a computer lab set up at these things.] Fury22: Thanks, but you didn’t need to. I really would still have looked in once I’d gotten home. You’ve become part of the regular…

Tomorrow, 8:00 a.m. sharp I meet my friend from vet school and together we drive up to Boston. I was looking forward to this veterinary convention, but in light of the last several days I’m no longer enthusiastic about it. I feel like I’m leaving too many unresolved issues behind me. Tonight I need to…

*sigh* I feel like somebody’s raining on my parade. Fury22 and doppelganger have both added music to their diaries. This means I can no longer risk opening those at work. (Before anyone tells me to simply turn off my sound, I need to leave it on because I need incoming mail alerts. Not only that,…

Boston is only a few days away. I finally got things settled last night. My friend isn’t letting me down completely, but she does want to drive back Saturday morning so she can make a flight class she’s scheduled for I’m disappointed in a way, but at the same time I know the Professor will…

Damn, why didn’t I do this years ago? I didn’t get rid of all the grey – it appears that some of the grey hairs are as resistent to change as I am. Still, 95% of it is gone. I was afraid of ending up with hair that was all the same color (which looks…

I dyed my hair. Nothing major, just a rinse to cover the creeping grey scourge. It’s still wet, so I can’t really evaluate the results yet. I’m already afraid of what I’ll see when my hair dries, though.

Have I mentioned recently how much I hate Mondays? I got up this morning operating on autopilot. And autopilot was defective. Couldn’t find my watch. Nearly forgot the brownies I’d baked over the weekend as bribes to my MIS department so I wouldn’t get reported for unauthorized use of my company issue computer. Gathered up…

Two pieces of news from a single phone call just now. My mother’s estate has finally been settled. I’ll be receiving a check for a little more than $82,000 this weekend. Damn, I didn’t want this money. I wanted her to spend it on herself. She refused to touch the principle on any of her…
