Wow…last night was something else. A great deal of fun, with the exception of going grossly over budget. Aside from peeing something like 8 million times starting from the moment it was time for bed, not a lot to complain about. Today I was well, a zombie, and I just about blacked out every time I stood up for the first I dunno, 8 hours I was out of bed. I realized that it was because I hadn’t eaten anything in well, a long long time, but having taste buds that had all essentially ruptured from dehydration and gnashing the night before, nothing really tasted like it should. I had to force down a couple handfuls of kaki peanuts with the help of a large glass of water, and from there the slow process of returning to homeostasis began.
I smoked one cigarette the whole night though, which was monumental. I just had no desire whatsoever to smoke. Nice. I went nearly an entire day without smoking. Amazing what substance abuse and a hangover will do for you. I wonder if the risk/benefit ratio evened out.

Work today was interesting. I managed to get through the day, and actually managed to put some genki into my kids lesson, so it wasn’t a total loss. I am looking forward to another weekend of sleep and relaxation; tempered however by the imminent need to pack my worldly possessions in preparation for the move out in one week.

My horoscope for this week projected the following image for contemplation:
“A flock of birds taking flight in the moments before an earthquake.”
