Ever feel like you're slipping backwards on a muddy slope without any way to hold on?

Today, that's exactly how I feel.

I want to be upbeat and lively, but I'm having a really, really hard time doing just that.

Yesterday, I was feeling really nauseated... I mean, REALLY nauseated.

So bad that I dry heaved into the trashcan in my office.  Eventually, I sent a message to my boss telling him that I was going to take the rest of the day off, because I was feeling so ill.

My post nasal drip is still going on, and in short, I'm starting to feel miserable again.

Well, this morning, I thought, "Hey, I'll be OK".

It started like that...

Until I saw that the boss sent me an email with a document from various people who've run our tool and had input/comments to make on it.

One of the stupidest things that I've seen from these guys, multiple times is that our tools' Reports are invalid, and to refer to their Documentation to prove otherwise.

So, I do.  I download the latest version of their Official Documentation.  Which turns out to support exactly what our tool has done.

It seems as though these guys really have NO idea what they're talking about, or really only THINK, they know what they're talking about.

On an upside, I feel like I've lost weight, since my family has been out of town.

My diet recently:

• Breakfast: Usually 1 Pancake/Sausage on a stick. (See previous post.. mmm  mmm.)
• Lunch: Perhaps a P&J sandwich for lunch, if anything for lunch at all.
• Dinner: Some cheap $1.00 something microwave dinner.
• 1 bowl of ice cream a day... If that. (I know, right?  Who'd have thunk I wouldn't always have Ice-cream everyday!?)

I know that not all of those items are healthy by any means, but in terms of living as a temporary bachelor again, it's pretty darn healthy.

Again, this week, I've been using my alarm clock, so that way I can start work early and stop early, as the heat really gets to me. Except this week.  The heat's been pretty cool, compared to last week.


My sleep hasn't been all that grand recently... I've been sleeping, but sometimes, I'm only sleeping 5-7 hours/night.

 This week, I've been going to bed earlier than last week.. Typically around 8-9 PM every night.

What's odd, is that I lie there, but cannot fall to sleep, so I read books on my Kindle Touch.

On Tuesday night, I started Romeo & Juliet by Shakespeare. (Well, duh, who else wrote it, eh?)

I was on a Shakespeare movie kick recently, so I thought, why not read the original plays & works?

Jane Austin's stuff is pretty good to go through, although, if I'm not careful when I'm beginning her stuff, I get lost.  She doesn't do a lot of repetitive use of her characters' names from page to page. Either that, or I'm just not paying enough attention.

I guess I tend to skim/read through many, many books.

Which, I suppose, is why I have re-read through a couple of Acts in Romeo & Juliet so far, as I felt loss after finishing one or wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Reading a play is much different than watching one.
