Yesterday, perhaps to celebrate? the capture of Hussein, I installed Baldur’s Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast on my laptop and played for a couple of hours. Whee– I’d forgotten how much fun that is. Maybe I’ll do that for my holiday break– just play computer games and workout all week. Certainly, it would be less stressful than… well, everything else I could plan, I’ll bet.

Today, it’s back to the grind. I have a toothache that I need to get checked out. Things are working better here today. I forgot to do the calligraphy for work, so I’m doing it in between PDF runs. I’ll probably do the printouts tonight, though if I do them tomorrow, I can bring the laptop in and play BG while it prints.

We have ever-less-tentative plans to go to Las Vegas in the second week of January– we’re at the point where I need to ask for the 2 days off.

Oh, for those who read my pity party from last week, you’ll be amused to know that I found the book, sitting right there in my laptop bag, where I had searched four times. So, now I have two copies.

I’m participating in ’s dream study.

I’m not using this one for the study, and will start tonight with the regimen, but for a baseline:

I dreamed I was in Malcolm in the Middle’s family, but they were all wizards (in the Harry Potter sense). They were doing magic shows for parties and on TV to earn money, and no one knew it was real. They did some tricks with disappearing snakes.

Then, we were at a make-your-own sushi bar. Like, with a tank of fish and everything. Dewey was best at getting the fish. I kept being unable to find the little containers to put them in, so I only got one piece of sushi. Awww.

I think there was more to the dream, but those are kind of the “highlights” that I can remember now, 40 minutes after I’ve gotten out of bed.

Must go get dressed and have breakfast. I forgot to do the calligraphy for work this weekend. Whoops! At least all my holiday presents are wrapped and calligraphied (except Dad’s, cause I forgot his and need to get it today).
