I’ve been listening to Jimmy Buffett all day, and I can’t get that song out of my head. Therefore, it is the seemingly completely irrelevant title of this post. However, if you’re a fellow Parrothead, you’ll get it. Have a great weekend regardless!

Or something like that. There’s some slim hope that soon I may be able to return to work, so I’m pretty excited about that. Of course, with how long I’ve been off my brain is out of practice and I’m physically out of shape, so I can’t even be dumb physical labour, but I think I’ll manage. I’m very close to being able to get another car, and we’re supposed to start picking up again, so hopefully if the planets align correctly I’ll no longer be a statistic soon.

Don’t tell anyone, but I’m not going to my meeting this morning. It’s not that I couldn’t, it’s that I really, REALLY don’t want to. It’s sure to be huge amounts of no fun, and I’ve already had enough trauma this week. Besides, the hangover from the meds they used during the procedure is still hanging on, so I have the patience of a swarm of killer bees and I’m just about as irritable.

Normally, that wouldn’t be a bad thing. Reading is good for your brain, right? But I realized today that I go to the library about every nine days and I check out at least eight books each time…and I never have overlap between batches, they’re all returned each time I go because I’ve finished them. I’ve always read like a fiend, but it might be getting a trifle out of hand. I suppose there are worse addictions I could have…
