Oh, the things you learn on a sick day...

From the Desk of Jack the Gorilla....
Well, today was hell. I woke up feeling a sore throat and sinuses acting up. As I sat watching TV with breakfast I ended up having a panic attack, nearly shitting myself, and throwing up said breakfast. I finally calmed down, but felt like crap for the next few hours. Which included driving my mother to the hospital for a follow up test on a blood clot she threw last week. Once home it was catching up on all the dishes piling up as well as laundry with the same bad throat. I am exhausted.
I took frequent breaks so as not to beat myself up too much. I finished watching American Gladiators, as well as coming away with a healthy admiration for Zap. Ended up watching an episode of the 60's Rat Patrol. Cried as the file I was working on with Gimp was lost. My first Gimp project, down the tubes. (I finally upgraded, I love most of it, but hate two things, the magnify interface) After collapsing in near exhaustion, I curled up with a blanket and watched Sandahl Bergman in the 1983 film "SHE" I've waited four years to get my hands on a copy.
So now, I hope to unwind, and stay warm in the glow of my monitor and do a little writing, and housekeeping with my files. I just wish I had a day off to recover from my day off. Sorry to load my bitching and complaining on everyone but I just needed to organize my thoughts.

PS; It's also good to know I can still solve the Rubik's Cube; God I love the 80s! *See scraps)
