Oops, Take 2
Right. Despite being home all of Saturday and Sunday, laid up with a cold, I failed to post my weekly update. So, just like last week, I’ll post one day late, with the added incentive of looking for something to do while home sick.
The weekend, for me, was inert. But I had the feeling of other people rusing about, in and out of my world. Thursday night we saw Tyler, which was nice since we rarely see him at all. Friday involved a visit from Reg. Saturday I was supposed to run off to the dojo to assist in a grading (and deliver “bun-cake”), but as mentioned I was enjoying a fine quality cough due to cold. Sunday we were to go to church, but I stayed at home to get some extra rest. Kyra had the “fun” of taking Nathaniel alone, which she says was good but a little hectic. Then, in the afternoon, Kyra left Nathaniel in my care while she ran off to a nifty clothing exchange at a friend’s place. Nathaniel was actually quite good, but had a breakdown for a little more than half an hour. He wasn’t enraged, but he was crying (and slobbering, due to his own, toddler sized cold) even while playing with his toys and chasing the cats.
Today I got lots of sleep. I had to wake up with the alarm to see how I felt, and then email my boss to say I couldn’t make it in. (I refered to her as “guys”, for some reason in the email.) Then, after I fell asleep, I had a series of work-related dreams with the theme of not being a responsible employee. Stuff like going back to being a security guard and then forgetting to get into uniform, leaving the building and having dinner across the street, getting lost in the parking lot, and other such things. I even found a bunch of my co-workers somewhere they shouldn’t be and asked them anxiously if we shouln’t be, you know, working or something. Those dreams are especially frustrating to me because I feel like I want to be doing the right thing, but the dream-flow doesn’t cooperate. But I eventually figgured out that I was asleep, and therefore I didn’t care, and the dream began to change focus to something else.

I’ve been playing with Picasa Web Albums of late, enjoying the face detection and recognition features, as well as the map feature that allows you to connect your photos maps of where they were taken.
