What's this? Two meals in one week? - Zoidberg (Futurama)

I love Futurama... I'm sure I have stated that before, but I really do.

However, the humor from it, at this point, isn't going to help me much today... I don't think.

My head is starting to hurt again, and only one side is aching... So most likely, I'll be into my pain pills soon, and perhaps more ice cream.

Although, as I stated the other day, I haven't been hitting on the ice cream very hard.

I noticed this morning, as I pulled on an XL shirt, that it wasn't as snug around my mid section as it was last week when I wore it.

So, I suppose I should throw a party and eat some cake & what not to celebrate, eh?  That way, in a week or two, when I work off that sugar, I can do it again.

I almost compared it to bulimia, but thought, I'd get hate letters... (Wait! I just did!  D'oh!)

He-he... I had to add "D'oh" to my browser's spell check dictionary.  Kind of funny, but it is in many modern dictionaries now.

Today is almost a ...SQUIRREL!... day.

I know what I need to do, and am working up my motivation to get it done.

We had to get many defects fixed this week and spend more time doing our own Q&A, as someone thought it prudent to cut funding and fire our Q&A guy...  Not our boss, but someone a ways above him.

Although, these days, with how much traction our tool is getting, we need Q&A to help us not miss things, like misspelled words, or false positives for our reporting on technical problems. (i.e. like if an OS is supported, when it really isn't.)

I thought to myself, prior to writing this entry, that I would go through and work on fixing/completing all of the items currently assigned to me, then I was going to start tackling a majority of the usability issues with our UI.

After all, the entire team finally has licenses to the UI plug-ins that we're using.

What a pain that was.  I could look at the code, see what needed to be done to fix it, but was unable to fix it and test it, because I didn't have a freakin' license.

Today, is Friday, and in two days, I get to see my family again!  w00t!

I have had some crazy dreams involving Ellie, and won't she be surprised!? heh heh. :)

The kids will be fun to have here, as I'll have someone to joke with and get into trouble with again.

I have enjoyed my time by myself, and the quiet times that I've spent reading books on the Kindle or doing various puzzles in one of those Variety Puzzle books. (crosswords and such)

Also, just letting my mind wander its own journey sometimes.

Besides, after watching and reading through Shakespearean books/movies, I have started connecting with my writing mind again.

Not just touching the surface of my writing creativity, but actually thinking as a writer again.  Thinking in prose/poetry, or in terms of stories.  Not to mention that I've had some pretty vivid dreams, not just of Ellie and I, but of things I could use for stories.

I love dreams, as I've had so many dreams come true, and so many have been inspiration for things that I've done.

Like, I remember dreaming of a girl that would be dressed in blue coming down the stairs of my apartment, about one week before my date with Ellie.  She was wearing a blue dress! :)

Don't discount dreams.
