A day in the life of My Brain, or shit I think about all day long

8:45am
Last night it was brought to my attention that the woman who sits behind me in class used to work for the doctor who will be performing my ganglionectomy on Friday. It's a small world afterall... sing it with me kids!

8:50am
This morning I was early for work because I had to drop off Ron's car for a little TLC. I would have followed Carol's suggestion to go to a place a little further away that gives away free car washes on Thursdays, but I just don't time this Thursday and it needed to be done sooner rather than later... anywho, I was so early for work I decided to run over to Dunkin Donuts for a bagel. It's been a long time since I've set foot in a Dunkie's that early in the morning and let me tell you, Dunkie's before 9am probably has the broadest spectrum of examples of humanity you will ever see. I was especially fond of the gentleman standing so close behind me that I was surprised when he did not actually try to touch me. On top of it he was muttering to himself incoherently. If I had to back up for any reason I would surely have hit him.

9:17am
I have to pee. Glad I'm not at a doctors office.

9:42am
I wonder what Stan & Ali are up to these days... anyone heard from them lately?

10:20am
We are slowly picking our way through holiday shopping and we are doing most of it online. I would like to have it done by December 1st. It's good to have a goal, right? We would like to remind everyone that it is not necessary to buy us a gift as we are limiting ourselves to only giving gifts to immediate family and kids, as we have done for the last two years. The holidays are stressful enough and we know money is tight for everyone so please do not feel obligated to get us anything. I can't stress this enough.

10:36am
Made a hair appointment for next week... I won't be able to wash my hair easily since I can't get my stitches wet so I'm going to let someone else wash it for me. Thanks for that BRILLIANT idea Amanda! Now to choose a style... I haven't had a haircut in almost a year.

10:46am
People suck. SUCK, SUCK, SUCK, SUCK, SUCK, SUCK, SUCK.
It's not my fault the stupid TV guide isn't on the shelf! Don't get all pissed off at me mister! Other people ARE allowed to read it and take it away from the shelf you know. Now go away Mr. McSuckyface, you are embarrassing your wife and annoying the fuck out of me.

11:05am
Just remembered the vivid unicorn dream I had the other night... gotta write that one down. Maybe I'll share it with y'all... maybe I won't. I really ought to be working... checking in magazines gets a little tedious, but I get to see all the juicy headlines first! My wrist hurts. I'm hungry... I need a snack.

Cover of Newsweek this week: A Photo of George W. Bush and his Dad George Sr. Headline Father Knows Best: With Congress Lost, and Iraq in Chaos, Bush Calls In His Dad's Team. Can James Baker & Co. Save the Son's Presidency?

Lovely... when the going gets tough, call Daddy. A lovely lesson in politics, eh?

11:45am
I have the James Bond theme song stuck in my head. Now you do too. You're welcome.

12:10pm
I am brainstorming ideas for a card I need to make for a co-worker and making my mental craft store shopping list. Ron's car is ready to be picked up, and I am cranking out magazines left and right.

12:55pm
I wonder if Carol is here yet... someone is cooking something in the office kitchen and it smells delicious. I'm really hungry now.

1:40pm
Thinking about the fact that I am out of here in an hour and 20 minutes.

2:59pm
I'm outta here! I'm off to A.C. Moore and then on to bowling with nurses! (Okay, hospital staff, but nurses sounds better.)

8:24pm
Went to Jillian's at the end of Landsdowne Street with Ron and a bunch of his co-workers. Anyone else remember when Jillian's was the roller rink Spinoff? Man, do I feel old. Well, now to finish my homework and get my ass to bed.
