My dad found my keys!

I lost them about a year ago.  =\  He found them in his truck while he was looking for my brother’s wallet.  I could’ve sworn that I looked all over that truck when I first parted with them.  Oh well.  The key to the Kia is still on there even though we don’t own it anymore.  I guess I’ll chuck it.

I don’t know what’s going on tonight.  New Years Eve.  I think that I’ll probably just hang out at home.  I’m a bit sick and my body is in perpetual pain.  Today it’s my leg that’s bothering me.  Maybe I should do more stretches before I work out.

Hey, you want to see a couple of my friends?

My boy T:

And Matt:

Those guys are a blast.  I took the photoz with my new camera.  Pretty sweet.

K, I’m out.  Peace.

I ended up going to a reunion party with the people from my elementary school.  I hadn’t seem most of them in years and years.  I got pretty drunk, which I haven’t done in a while, to try to counter my anti-sociality.  I think it worked cause I was very at ease and I had a good time.  It’s crazy how much people change between grade school and college.  Most of them were a lot more mature and chillin than they were back in the day.  Unfortunately no girls from our grade showed up even though they had confirmed that they were coming on Facebook (liars.).  It was still alright, though.  T ended up puking his guts out which was no surprise.  I liked being at a party where it felt like you could trust everyone there.  They all came from my neighbourhood and we were like family.  The host even left valuables laying around.  At any other house party those shits would’ve been gone by the end of the night.

I went to the store to buy some cigarettes and some water and on the way back to the party I found some dog hanging around a house with no leash or owners in sight.  I wound up hanging out with it for half an hour, tossing his ball for him while I tried to get in contact with his owners.  I knocked on the door to the house that he seemed to live in but no one answered.  I managed to look at his tags and got a number which I called but no one answered.  Eventually I saw lights on upstairs so I went up and knocked on the door.  Thankfully some dude answered and I asked if he knew the dog and he said it was his landlord’s.  He took it in and thanked me.  That’s my good deed for the month.

I wound up walking home at about 1:30 and got home at around 2:45.  Longgggg walk.  I tried hitchhiking but no one picked me up, which is understandable.  I do look pretty gangster, yo.

Now I’mma sit here and sip on my orange juice so take it easy.

Christmas has arrived and I’m not debilitated or depressed.  All in all today is a good day.  Except for the part where I had to travel an hour to my relatives’ place for Christmas dinner.  They have three cats which drive my allergies nuts.

I got a bunch of rad shit.  Firstly, the camera that I took these pictures with, a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55.

Then this big fat Buddha statue:

He be chillin’.

Then I also got a hat from my brother and a couple of books from my parents:

My other brother brought me this crazy painting home from Malawi.  At least I think it’s from Malawi.  It could be from Ghana, either way it’s somewhere in Africa:

It’s oil paint.  I’d like to get it framed and put up on my wall seeing as how my room is so bare and it’s a cool painting.

I also got this USB key:

I think that’s aboot it.  I got some other odds and ends, some pajamas, a belt, and a gift certificate.  A good haul fo sho.

So Merry Christmas to everyone from IRC, Aura, Rey, the whole hattscrib crew, and whoever else happens to be reading this.  You guys all kick ass.

Aurevoir!

Oh yeah, I saw this on a neighbour’s lawn and had to share it.  It made me laugh when I drove by it so I went back and took a picture.  Talk about Christmas spirit.

What to write about?  Well, today will be a day of rest and food.  We’re going to be eating Chinese food for dinner (a Christmas eve tradition) and then going to sleep.  The rest of my family is gonna go to mass but I think I’ll pass on that.  =\

My brother’s present still hasn’t come in the mail.  Never buy from HMV.ca, it’s a horrible company.  I ordered the CD a month ago and it’s yet to arrive.  What a bunch of bullshit.

I’m supposed to drive T to Wal-mart to get some last-minute shopping done.  Apparently they’ve been open 24/7 the past few days (Aren’t they always?).  I don’t know.  I hate that store with a passion, though.  Check out this movie and you will too.

My back’s a little stiff today.  I did some inclined sit-ups the other day and they’re catching up to me.  I think that I’ll stick to crunches.  The last thing I need is another back injury to add to my repertoire of fucked up body issues.  I’ve been benching 90 pounds ten times the past couple of work-outs.  I start with 30 lbs and add 20 pounds each time, lowering my reps every time I up the weight.  I need to go out and buy more weight though.  90 isn’t cutting it anymore.  I found out yesterday that my brother can bench 190.  The kid only weighs 170.  That, my friends, is impressive.

Apparently I lied and am not, in fact, at a loss for words.  I’m sorry.  Bye!

Oh yeah, evidently

I was having a beer with T and Matt, half-celebrating Chris’ birthday, half-eating nachos.  I thought that I had lost about thirty bucks from my pockets.  I panicked and decided to go back to the variety store that I had bought a lotto ticket from not ten minutes earlier.  I thought that maybe I had pulled out my money by accident and dropped it on the ground. 

I set out to the convenience store and as I’m walking down the street some douchebag in a car throws an egg at me!  Hit me in the leg.  I was already upset about losing my money so that made things even worse.  I was considering taking my ball and going home but then I realised that I probably deserved it.  My friends and I had egged people in the past.  Karmic justice I supposed.

I made it to the store and looked around on the ground.  No money.  I asked the clerk and he looked befuddled.  Nope, no money here.  God damn it.  I lost thirty dollars!  I have almost no money so thirty bucks hurt.  I asked the teller for some napkins or paper towels and he obliged, and I wiped the egg off of my leg.  I walked back to the bar, defeated and annoyed, and pulled out my pack of cigarettes.  Some nicotine would help ease the pain.  And what do I find stuck in the package?  My thirty bones!  Success!

I had a couple of beers back at the bar, some nachos, and some fries dipped in gravy.  That, my friends, is one filthy meal.  I had an apple and a bunch of water when I got home to make up for it.

At the end of the night we left the bar to search for a cab.  We were walking down the strip trying to hail a taxi when a fight broke out.  Some little guy apparently beat up some slightly bigger guy.  He seemed really happy about it but his joy was short-lived.  Whoever got beat up came back with his friends and beat the short guy’s friend into a pulp.  They knocked him down and kicked him in the head a few times.  The police showed up and the guy who did the booting took off like a shot with the cop in tow.  I’m not sure if they ever got him.

Shortly afterwards we found a cab and made our way home.  Exciting night downtown.

They’re so aerobatic!  Could YOU make that leap?  Or hang upside down for an indeterminate amount of time?  I think not.

Like most of us, they also have an affinity for beer and Coca Cola.  Who knew?

Of course they also like some nice, refreshing water once in a while.  They’re starting to remind me of myself more and more.

And here’s a little known fact, some of them are actually super heroes!  It’s a proven fact that squirrels stop twenty percent of robberies.  Don’t believe me?  Google it.

And last, but not least, they’re just so damn cute sometimes!

So the next time someone whines about squirrels eating their bird seed or driving their dogs nuts, just point them to this page.  You’ll be doing them a favour.

Since I have nothing to do with my three weeks off, I’ve been messing around with my blog.  There’s now a plug-in that shows the popularity of each post (see the bottom of this post) as well as the top commentators (see the sidebar) AND a random post feature (see the navigation bar).  It’s all pretty cool.  I also put a new ad thing at the top of the sidebar.  I’m trying not to be tacky but I needs money.  I’ll keep adding stuff cause I’m bored.

I think that I’ll try to clean up my basement a bit today.  It’s all really filthy and working out among the trash is rather unpleasant.  I should organise my crawl space as well as my work out area.

My back keeps hurting.  It’s been like this for days now, right about where my left shoulder blade is.  Maybe I should go to the doctorrrr.  Blargh.  I hate going to the doctor’s.  If there’s one good thing about being exceedingly wealthy, it’s having access to a doctor whenever you want one.  No waiting rooms or appointments.

Hopefully the fumes will clear out of my room by tonight too.  I’m getting really sick of sleeping in the guest room.

Oh yeah, since I make this blog for the readers, what do you think of the new plug ins?

Also, I think it might be time for a theme change. =\  Opinions?

I can’t tell what.  I thought it was money at first but I don’t think that’s it.  I kind of want some Valium.  I may ask my doctor to prescribe some for me.  It makes me feel so refreshed when I awake.  Without it I wake up three or four times throughout the night, check the clock then go back to bed.  Very weird.

I can’t wait to be able to sleep in my own bed.  I think the fumes may have dissipated enough to crash in there tonight.  I hope I wake up in the morning. =\

I did some working out today, some bench presses and shiznat.  Curls as well.  My arms will be gigantic.  I’m tellin’ you.  Sorry I have nothing interesting to say today.  Here’s a song.

So I’ve finally gotten around to painting my room and me tell you, it’s no picnic.  If you ever have to paint something then my god, PAY SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR YOU.  Maybe I’m just a little bitch.  Who knows?  Anyways, to recap here’s what my wall used to look like:

  (whoa.  Ghost??!)

Sorry, those are the best pictures I could find.  And here’s how my wall currently looks:

I feel dizzy from the fumes.  I’m going to pick up the paint today as well as some more supplies.  At the suggestion of Diego, I’m painting the top a light beige and the bottom a darker beige (but not too dark).  I think it’s gonna look really rad when it’s done.  Very zen.

Also, here’s my barcode:

Kind of cool.  You can get your personalised barcode here:

Also, I think I’m going to start doing more free weights.  I did some curls and I can feel my biceps growing.  I had to cut my workout short today, though.  My back is uber fucked.  Possibly from dragging furniture around yesterday, I’m not quite sure.

Okay, I hope those pictures keep you guys entertained for a while.  BYE!

Oh yeah, congratulate Aura.  She got into the school of her dreams.  Hopefully she’ll relax a bit now.

Also, I’m the godfather of this cute little guy:

And I’m awake. I just went to Tim Horton’s to pick up my daily dose of caffeine which I am now sipping gingerly.

Weaning myself off of cigarettes is going better than I had anticipated. I’m getting a slight buzz whenever I smoke which means that the amount of nicotine coursing through my body at any given time is a lot lower than it was a few days ago. Hopefully this pack will be my last. I’ve been having one every four hours and I’m hoping to bump it up to five today. Wish me luck. Luckily Rey has been helping me immensely by yelling at me whenever I do smoke and congratulating me when I don’t. She’s a life saver.

I told her kind of a funny story the other day and I thought I’d share it with you. (Note: This story is funny to me, it may not be to you. And if not, I’m sorry.)

I was with my friend downtown at a local bar pounding back beers and acting like your average twenty year-old. The alcohol had severely lowered my inhibitions so I was talking to random girls hoping for any sort of action. I found one beautiful girl (obviously out of my league and already drunker than I) and started chatting her up. I offered to buy her a drink and she said sure. "A raspberry and vodka." or some nonsense. I thought, hey, I might actually have a shot with this girl! So I ran off to buy her her drink.

When I came back to the table there was a guy standing there with his arm around the girl. "Oh, this is my boyfriend!" I stared, bewildered and handed her her drink. This girl conned me! I say, "Hey. What’s up." to her boyfriend (I didn’t actually care.) Then I say, "That’s your girlfriend?" He says, "Yeah. She’s beautiful isn’t she?" "Uh. Yeah…" "Well babe, let’s get out of here." And they stand up to leave with the boyfriend leading. He walks out of the door first with the girl close behind when I think, "You know what? That’s bullshit." So I get up, walk over to her and say, "Give me my drink back." She looked befuddled and handed it back to me. I walked back to my table, sat down and chugged it. Damn, that was one satisfying drink.

Fin.

Oh yeah, classic song (that Aura doesn’t like cause she’s retarded):

Okay, Rey requested that I tell you guys about what happened last night. I think my mom is PMSing cause she gets mad about nonsensical crap when she is. So I go downstairs to talk to her about something or other and she says, "Why is the tree so dry? Why didn’t you fill up the tree stand with water?" And I go, "In my twenty-two years on this planet, I have never filled up the tree stand with water. How could you possibly expect me to know to do it?" And she said something like, "Well now you know! I had to fill it up myself. You’re old enough to do this stuff." "Uh. Okay, mom. My bad."

We certainly have come a long way since the days of DOS and Windows 3.1 (I was there typing out every single command and playing CLI games.  Painful, I know.)  Since then we’ve graduated to beautiful GUI’s and ease of access for the technologically disabled comparable to wheelchair ramps for the physically disabled.

My favourite browser, as you may or may not know, is Opera.  I’ve experimented with Firefox, IE, Netscape, Flock, and Konqueror and none of them have come close.  Here’s a few of my favourite features of Opera.

Mouse gestures:

Hold down the right mouse button and you’re off.  Drag the mouse to the left and release the button and you’ll go back a page.  Drag to the right and you’ll go forward.  Drag it down and you’ll create a brand spankin’ new tab.  Want to refresh your page?  Simply move the mouse up then down and release the right mouse button.  Sweet, I know.  And since I just opened up a new tab really easily, I’ll segue into this next awesome feature.

The Speed Dial:

Whenever you create a new tab or page, this handy little page pops up.  You have room for nine of your favourite websites which you add by clicking on the blank slots and filling in with their URL.  Goddamn it’s handy!  No more looking through your bookmarks or typing the address in manually.

The searches:

There are a couple of ways to go about searching through your favourite websites.  I’ll start with creating the search.  Thesaurus.com is a good example and I know it’ll please at least one of my friends.  First we open up the website then move the cursor to the search box.  Right click then select Create Search.

It’ll ask you what keyword you want to name it.  I’ve chosen t.  NOW whenever I go into the address bar and type t Hello world, it will search for Hello world.  See:

Voila!

While we’re on the subject of searches, once one is created you can click View —> Toolbars —> Personal Bar to show your personal bar.  Once it’s there you right-click —> Show searches –> Thesaurus.com.  Now it’s right there for all your synonym searching needs.

And FYI, I made a lot of these captures using the Windows Vista Snipping Tool.  You can find it in your Accessories folder if you’re using Vista.  It’s quite possibly the greatest invention ever.

D’accord.  That’s all for now.  I hope you’ll all consider using Opera instead of IE or Firefox or whatever junk you’re currently browsing on.  PEACE.

P.S. I totally bombed my networking exam.  Good thing I didn’t need a good mark to pass the course.  =D

Here we have the bench press that, as you can see by the junk piled on top of it, I seldom use.  (Though I may start soon.  I’ve heard that free weights are good for building mass.)

Next we have a more frequently used item, the inclined sit-up thingo.  If you have a more technical name, let me know:

Here’s my most beloved piece of exercise equipment, the chin-up bar!  My back wouldn’t be nearly as beautiful and muscular as it is without the aid of this lovely device.

Here’s my inclined push-up equipment:  =\  Or is it declined?  I’m not sure.  As you can see, it’s not very fancy but it does the trick.

And there’s an exercise ball that I’ve yet to blow up.  I actually got it done about seventy-five percent and then left it without plugging the hole.  So when I came back an hour later it had completely deflated.  I haven’t attempted to right the situation since.

And here’s some other assorted crap that I haven’t used in a while.  Don’t mind the Halloween decorations, the vacuum cleaner, the fan box, or the shoes.  It’s a tres messy basement.

That’s about it.  I plan on utilizing the sit-up thing today to get my abs even more steely than they currently are.

ALSO, I installed Vista.  It’s actually a lot more usable than I had expected.  Very pretty as well.  I had to turn off the little security feature where it asks you if you REALLY want to do every single little thing.  Obviously I want to do it!  I clicked on the icon didn’t I?!?   Other than that it’s pretty radical.  It runs a lot quicker than I had anticipated too.  All in all, good deal.

Btw, Elias.  It’s not stolen.  It was included in my tuition.  :p

Rain in the middle of December.  Who’d a thunk it?

So yeah, it’s pretty shitty outside, but at least it’s fairly warm. 

I’m down to a cigarette every three hours or so now.  I’ve actually had the same pack since Friday which is a pretty monumental occasion.  Except I just smoked the last cigarette in said pack so I’m not sure what the next step is.  To buy another one or not to buy another one.  That is the question.  If I attempt to stop completely now then I’m going to feel sick for the next few days and will be totally out of it for my networking exam.  But I REALLY don’t want to buy another pack.  I have the gum here except I’ve read the warning label and it scares the shit out of me.  I don’t want to chew it.  Gah.  Maybe I’ll buy a light pack of cigarettes to help wean me off more.  I’ll figure something out I suppose.

Also, I had a good workout today.  I think I’ve been working my shoulders too much, though cause my right one hurts a bit and I was only able to do inclined push-ups because of the pain.

I’m sure there was something else I meant to say but I can’t remember now.  Oh yeah, I also got a seventy on the multiple choice portion of the exam I wrote yesterday.  Not too bad, although if I had studied more I could have done better I think.  Okay, I’m out.  PEAceeeeeee.

OH YEAH, I’m attempting to upgrade from XP to Windoze Vista today.  I tried last night but the installation failed for some unknown reason.  I re-downloaded and re-burnt the ISO so hopefully it will go through today.  Wish me luck.

So today I’ve been chillin.  I cut down on my nicotine intake significantly and I also realised that I associate beer with cigarettes.  So no more beer for me until I’ve conquered the evil tobacco demon.  I’ve been smoking every three or so hours as opposed to my usually forty-five minutes so I think that’s pretty decent.  I also feel really out of it although I’m not sure if it’s the lack of nicotine or just a cold.  I’ll keep you updated.

Here’s my tree btw (pre-decorations):

And here it is NOW:

And actually it’s sort of hard to see the lights and crap but believe me, it looks pretty rad.  We’re buying some more lights and some new garland as well so maybe I’ll take some new pictures once it’s totally complete.  I have a problem with waiting for stuff.   And it’s definitely better than Aura’s Christmas tree, seen here:

I’m going to quit smoking.  I’m going to quit smoking.  I’M GOING TO QUIT SMOKING.  That’s the plan anyhow.  I bought a pack last night.  I’m going to smoke very rarely in order to wean myself off of the nicotine and once this pack is done I’m not buying another.  If I say I’m going to buy another one then feel free to smack me upside the head and call me a fucking liar and a piece of shit.  I don’t want to quit, you see.  It’s just that some days I can hardly breathe and today my lungs really hurt.  I think it’s my lungs anyways, I may have strained something whilst working out.  I wasn’t able to do a push up today which pisses me off because I look forward to my daily exercise.

Also, my father and my brother are going out to chop down a Christmas tree soon.  Or is it a holiday tree?  Or maybe a X-mas tree.  I’ll stick with Christmas seeing as how I’m a traditionalist.  Once it’s decorated I’ll put up pictorz and compare it with Aura’s.  I’m sure that mine will come out on top.  I’m Canadian after all, the birthplace of the winter wonderland.  Do they even have snow in Romania?  I’m not sure.

Now I’m going to finish watching Little Children, have a V8 one-shot to get my daily dose of vitamins and minerals, and maybe study for my test.  BYE.

P.S. Chilling inside a warm house on a freezing cold day rules.  I suggest that you try it sometime.

Just peeped Stir of Echoes: The Homecoming.  Not an excellent movie by any stretch of the imagination but it certainly didn’t deserve 4.4/10.  My mom also rented Little Children.  I saw the movie a while ago and then bought her the book for her for birthday so she’s been itching to watch it ever since.  Tonight her dreams will be fulfilled.  Go mom.

I had a good workout today.  My abs of steel are coming along nicely.  I only wish that there were some different exercises for working out your upper abs.  Crunches/sit ups get so tedious after a while.  They also make me dizzy for some reason.  Afterwards I took a walk to Home Depot to pick up some coat hangers although it’s a bit of a misnomer because I’m not using them to hang coats.  I installed them into my closet to hang my school bag/laptop bag (No help, either.  Yeah, I’m basically a handyman).  No more tossing them on my floor!

That’s aboot it.  A foarte boring Friday night but that’s how I like ‘em. 

Oh yeah, I really need a job. =\

I managed to eke out an eighty on my Cisco exam, which I thought I’d bomb.  Not bad for not opening a book.  I also got an eighty-six on the practical exam.  Only two more tests to go!  My other networking exam (how many fucking exams does that class need?) and my operating systems final test.  It’s not an exam, though.  It’s only based on the last four units so it shouldn’t be too tough.  Except the teacher enjoys writing hard tests so I might have to study.

I also picked up a gift for my dad from HMV.  Some Blue Rodeo CD.  Now I’m done my Christmas shopping.  WOOT.  And I had a good workout when I arrived home so I’m nice and pumped.  Very good shit.

Oh yeah, on top of all that, I didn’t hit anything on the way home.  Win.

I was driving home after dropping my dad off at work cruising down my street and I approached this innocuous-looking bend.  I thought that I was going a reasonable speed but apparently not because I completely lost control of the truck.  The back slid out and I went skidding sideways going clear across the road.  As the accident was approaching I felt a sense of doom and helplessness.  I tried letting off the gas and the break, and steering out of it but to no avail.  The truck went hopping up onto the curb and demolished a no parking sign (demolishing may be a bit strong, it was only bent at a 70 degree angle).  After I sat there for a minute and shook my head I got out and checked the truck and there was no damage!  Huzzah! 

I’m guessing that all of the snow helped soften the impact.  Some woman asked if I was alright from across the street and I reassured her that I was fine.  There were a bunch of kids across the street waiting for the bus as well.  I think I gave them something to talk about.  After inspecting the damage (or lack thereof), I hopped back in and drove the rest of the way to my house.  I’m just lucky that there were no cars coming the other way.  The funny thing is that I was talking to my dad earlier about how people drive like pussies in the winter.  I guess I should follow suit.

Now I must study for my business test (which I plan on acing).

P.S.

I got an eighty on the test.

We wrote a quiz in OS today and I got ninety then he let us go early so that was pretty sweet.  I also don’t have to go back in because business class is cancelled and Strategies for Success is a waste of time.

I feel okay today.  I managed to have a good work out.  The new inhaler my doc gave me worked really well.  I’m still having a bit of trouble taking deep, full breaths but it’s much better than it was.

Crazy goddamned weather tonight.  Look at ze snow:

Kind of a crappy picture because it’s so dark out but you get the idea.  According to Circa we’re supposed to get around twenty more centimetres in the next few days.  Thank God school’s almost over.  I still have to do this networking assignment though.  Argh.

I was up until five in the morning last night because I could hardly breathe.  Then I woke up this morning, hung around for a few minutes and tried to make a doctor’s appointment before realising that my database exam was at 11.  So I definitely missed it.  Vonderful.  I guess I have to get my doctor to write me a note, only the earliest day I can see her is on the 10th.  FUCK.  I feel like smashing something.  Maybe I’ll just take the zero.  I’ll still get a 75 or so in that class.  It’ll fuck up my GPA but whatever.  GOD FUCKING DAMN IT.

Oh yeah, to fix the Windows Live installation and get rid of that nasty little red x I just installed each application one at a time.  I also updated Windows so maybe that had something to do with it.  But I don’t think so.

I didn’t get to work out today OR yesterday cause of my fucking chest.  Pain on the front and pain on the back plus feeling weak and dizzy and generally shitty.  Fuck asthma.  I have to go back to the doctor’s and get this fixed up.  I feel better today than yesterday, though so that’s okay.

Other than the lungs I actually feel pretty content and relaxed right now.  Being inside a warm house when it’s cold and shitty outside is always a treat.  Speaking of outside, it’s now raining pretty hard and there’s still a few centimetres of snow on the ground.  Strange days.

Oh man, today was the most frustrating computer day I’ve had in a while.  Everything got fucked up.  None of the Windows Live crap would install so I was dicking around with Windoze and finally got the updates to work.  (I haven’t been able to update since I upgraded to XP Pro a few months ago.)  So I was like, "SWEET.  It’s finally updating!" so I restart the computer after it’s finished and lo and behold my wireless has stopped working.  I spent hours trying to get the wireless back up and still haven’t succeeded.  I DID, however, get all of the Windows Live stuff up so I’m using the writer as we speak.

Still, though.  I need to fix this wireless shit.  I’m in the basement jacked in to the router right now and it’s not nearly as relaxing as being naked in my room without a care.  I need an external hard drive so I can back up all my crap and re-format.  I’m way to lazy to burn a dozen DVD’s.  Okay, I’m out.

Btw, I’m obsessed with this song.  Peep it.

I felt like utter shit for a good portion of the day then I took a second dose of Advair (my puffer) and I felt like I could breathe. So from now on I’m gonna take a dose in the morning and a dose at night. I think I feel well enough to work out today, too which is good.

I haven’t had my morning coffee yet so I can’t think too well. I’ll add stuff once my mind is functioning properly.

I can’t fucking breathe.  I try to take a deep breath and it just doesn’t happen.  My chest hurt last night too and I’m not sure why.  Plus my favourite internet girl is being distant as usual.  I tried going to this one walk-in clinic but it turns out that they shut their doors god knows how long ago so I just came home.  There’s the emergency care place but it always takes so long to see someone there.  If it gets any worse I guess I’ll go there or find another walk-in clinic.

Gah.  And I have some Christmas dinner to go to tonight.  I’m not feeling it at alllll.

Easy.
