Whack (out of)

It feels like Monday to me, which is oh-so-confusing because it is, indeed, Friday. I'm glad to be working primarily early and mid-day shifts lately, but the days off in the middle of the week thing still throws me for a loop every time.

So it's 20 til 9 and I have to leave in about one hour for work. The dogs are wrestling at my feet, eager to get out all their energies before they get to rest up again in their crates for the day. Tonight they'll do it all again. Will they *ever* slow down?

Don't know if Shanny ever got to see the link, so I'll mention that the cool gift I got was an iPod Shuffle--a teensy little gadget that weighs about, oh, NOTHING, and holds 512k worth of songs. That's about 5-7 hours of music if I'm not mistaken. Woohoo! Plenty for me, and it shuffles everything automatically, so you never get the same mix of stuff. Very nifty. I downloaded and subsequently uploaded a bunch of stuff last night, and I'm going to do the crazy thing and listen to it on my way to work today. A test drive as it were.

Now, the aforementioned bump to the head is doing much better. The swelling has gone down and the scratch is crusting up sooooo nicely. :/ I was watching my feet instead of my head the other day at work, and in order to clear some clutter on the floor I had to sort of hop it. When I did this, I leaped unknowingly into the "Big Joe" (pallet jack) that was at half-mast *with* a pallet on it. My right temple met up with a corner of said pallet in a very dramatic fashion. I dropped to the floor and cried a bit before being ushered into a dark office with a bag of frozen vegetables. Fun times.

Breakfast time for me--ciao!

I kind of thought it was an ipod, but just needed confirmation. :) Yea you. We are talking about getting one ourselves, although I'd be the one using it the most since I take the bus to work all the time, even though he could easily take the bus and leave me the car for running an occasional errand after work....breathe.

Sorry, didn't mean to ramble like that. I wouldn't mind one for the simple fact that I am going to start jogging (as soon as I get some running shoes) and thought it would be nice to have a lightweight, long playing musical piece of equipment to take with me.

As for the bump on your noggin, take it easy and always look before you leap! No, I'm glad that you are okay and nothing more serious happened than a bump and a scratch. Just keep an eye on it.

Okay, going to finish my latte and go write on my own blog. :)
