Back among the living plus a real shocker

Today, I felt practically human. Took my son out to breakfast, then wandered to the bookstore where my checkbook magically flies open and money falls into their cash register. Sigh. More books for the TBR. I got tired walking about (I shudder to think how I'll feel when next I make to the gym). Got home, wailed away on DX. Then it was time for Cinqo de Mayo day at my son's school, so off we went. Great food, stood around talking to kids and parents, and caged tickets off my son to play Apple Smash the greatest carnival game ever. You get a rotten apple and a tennis racquet and watch out! It was great. My apple went smoooosh and juice and bits of apple went flying everywhere. Wow. They were running out of apples or I would have done more. Very popular game. They had a band, too, and they were really good. I've been wailing away at DX since I got home. Things were going well until chapter 5. Damn. It's boring. Nothing gets worse. So I'm going to go to bed and hope that between now and tomorrow I will think of something to make worse in chapter 5.

Ready for the shocking news? Since I was too sick to make it out of my room for more than 5 minutes at a time (when I wasn't sleeping) I went a whole day without coffee, technically, more than 36 hours, and so I decided to quit. Cold turkey. Why not? I was already feeling about as crappy as you'd feel if, say, you'd spent six hours feeling like you were going to barf ( and then....) and many of those hours with the cold shivers of a fever. No coffee today either. I was strong! Amazingly strong! Shocking indeed to those who know me. I can't say if it'll last since this is probably one of the few times in my life (well, since my son was born) that I'm not sleep deprived, but hey, think of the savings!
