First day off is tomorrow -- YAHOO! I'm so excited. I've already told everyone in my "circle" not to bother me. I'm sleeping in and bumming around all day. And that's the plan. On a side note, YESTERDAY (Sept 17) I was putting up a book on the top shelf and when I rounded the corner I seriously whacked my right foot on the step stool that was precariously set on the inside corner of the aisle. I never even saw it. Boy, did it hurt. I was wearing my Berkinstocks and my toes jammed into the blasted thing. ARGH! Every curse word I'd ever heard or imagined raced to my mind, but it came out as a garbled yelping mish-mash of crybaby sounds. I limped along the rest of the day... it hurt, but I didn't think much of it. But then, when I was leaving work, I looked down and saw my toe was kind of purpley (is that a word? If not, it should be, because my toe was definitely purpley). Anyway, as the night wore on, it turned all shades of the rainbow. Purple, black, blue, yellow, brown... like a bruise kalediscope... Toe Art if you will. But I digress, today I had to call workman's comp to file the "incident" so they'd have it on file. That was a pain in the keister. The rep called me back on her cell phone and the reception was horrible! I don't know why they can't call me back on a landline -- and her kids were screaming in the background (nothing funner than listening to that..., except maybe breaking my toe).

On a different tangent, Hurricane Ivan came and went thru the Gulf and we had a bunch of evacuees here in the Northern section of Louisiana. I dunno about everyone else, but I'm soooo sick of the hurricanes! Poor Florida and the coastal states. El Nino is NOT playing nice.

I voted today. Woot woot! I rocked the vote. It was only on a couple things, but it's good practice for November, right? :)

I gotta plan my day of leisure now. Let's see, so far on my list is:
1) Sleep
2) Laze around
3) Dress like a slob
4) Take a nap
5) Watch TV
6) Write like I NEED to (pretty iffy on that one)
