MissMeliss: Escribition

I was up til four last night, and didn’t blog, then slept til eleven, though FedEx rudely woke me at 8:22. I was not pleased.
When I finally did get out of bed I had a busy day:
- Reinstalled Skype and Audacity on my desktop computer.
- Reinstalled Office on the same machine
- Logged into Skype [...]

So this was my day:
– Went to bed around three AM, for reasons I am still not sure of.
– Had a nightmare – can’t remember what it was. Fuzzy soothed the remnants away with some night-time nookie. This was around five.
– Slept til six. Woke up when pain meds wore off [...]

I had a lazy day today, since I crammed through my work week early, in order not to work on Friday. I hate having to work on Friday, and will spend as many hours as it takes to avoid it most weeks, though there are times it’s unavoidable.
In any case, here are three four good [...]

Because I’m tired, cranky, and my knee is throbbing:
– Slept til 12:30. Or really almost one. Spent fifteen minutes figuring out which pants fit with knee brace. Went out in public (well, the salon) in really big t-shirt and stretch pants, choosing comfort over style. And sneakers. Yay sneakers.
- Spent four hours [...]
