My brain has been taken by Yahtzee

I have a little computer program, you see, and I just keep rolling the dice. But now I'm going to stop and blog, and then go to bed. (When we did play games as a family when I was young, it was usually Yahtzee or Kismet, both dice games...I'm pretty good--the computer loses more than I do).

Anyway, autumn weather has definitely come to us. According to my Firefox add-on it's 50 degrees but the wind is at 16 mph, so it's pretty brisk outside. It's also wet and leaves are coming down everywhere; my car is decorated with them.

I went to Dr Rooney, the podiatrist, today. I have to stay in the boot for another four weeks, but the good news is it is healing. The fractures are in the 4th and 5th metatarsals; I've heard bad things about the 5th not healing but she said that's usually the case when the bone is actually broken to the point of not being united. Mine is more of a crack near the joint, so it should heal fine. Yay. I do not want surgery. It does feel somewhat better. So, it's more of the Franken-boot for now.

The time of no money is ending as I get paid tomorrow at the hospital (actually it should go through sometime tonight) and I should get paid at the gas station for the first time in awhile, too.

The new cubicles were more tolerable once everything was together. I spent the whole day putting stuff on and in my desk. My computer may be losing its power supply soon--it keeps going to an amber light and it's sleeping although on, but not waking up when I touch the mouse or keyboard. I've got a desk that goes 6 feet in two directions, which I think will be adequate, 3 file folder drawers, two others, and two overhead bins. I got all but the files taken care of today. Tomorrow I have to do that and move some other stuff out so that the nursing students won't be crowded. I also have to move a copier and two computer carrels about 6 inches so I won't be crowded. From there it's working on moving one or possibly two journal shelving units that are about 3' x 12' each. Not looking forward to that.

I haven't listened to the radioplays lately because of all the commotion. When they were building the cubicles, there didn't seem to be a point, since there was banging and power screwdriving involved. Today I don't think I sat in my chair long enough. Also, I'm getting a new (used) chair that's bigger and more comfortable, one of the old ones from one of the other departments that was replaced by those that came with the cubicles.

Well, I guess that's enough of an update for now. Good night. Oh, and in honour of impending Halloween, here's a Very Twisted Great Pumpkin...I'm assuming it's from Robot Chicken, I think I've seen it on there, but it wasn't identified as such.

Reason #432 why I like Robot Chicken and Adult Swim

Today's radioplay: 'The Case of the Vanishing White Elephant'



Okay, so I don't have cable and have to rely on others for any real TV because I also have no reception for the local channels for the most part. But fortunately there is YouTube. This is Calvin and Hobbes like you've never seen them.

Oy ve!

Today:
1) Arrived one hour earlier to complete my appointed game preparations.
2) Went to get breakfast for game master so he'll have mercy upon us.
3) Finished tasks on time despite this (but wouldn't have without that extra hour).
4) Played game. Am now scared &#^@less. Now we have two cases (well, three, I suppose), a witch cult that is planting bombs and sending Byakhee after us, now a group of daemonspawn want to tear my pregnant character from limb to limb for betraying one of their own--if she hadn't it would have effectively ended our mission. It's a good thing I just rolled up a new character. Tessa may not last the rest of the year or even live to have this baby. One character is already missing and the others may die due to her decision.
5) Did notes.
6) Spilled Diet Pepsi over some important papers and a bit on a book.
7) Dealt with consumate clumsiness with many mea culpas and offers to replace things. I am such a klutz. If I owned a gun, I would trip on it and it would go off. There's a reason I don't own a gun.
8) Watched about three episodes of Robot Chicken (including the Star Wars one) and then the season premiere of The 4400.
9) Did a tech support call to Windstream regarding issues with a Vista computer and slow loading speeds. Turns out it was the McAfee Security Suite that came with the computer. Now it's running AVG.
10) A few random tasks.
11) Brought an old computer home to see if I can get the hard disk to work.
12) Took Cerys out.
12) Fed and watered her.
13) Now I'm home. I have to get up in 3 1/2 hours to pick someone up for work. Arrrggghh. So I'm going to bed now. I'm getting too tired to type. Goodnight.
