i've been driving my new car around, trying to get a feel for it. the passenger side window broke; i'm kind of glad it's getting cooler out, so that i won't have to feel guilty christopher can't cool down. i found replacement headlamps from a guy on a local VW forum for $25 -- that's $245 cheaper than retail, which should be enough to pay to fix the window.

i haven't been feeling very well the last week or so. non-specific pain and discomfort makes the hypochondriac in me rear her ugly and anxiety-inspiring head, which just makes the un-well that much worse. i think it was just two very late nights this weekend which did it, actually. the doctor wouldn't give me a prescription for an oral anti-fungal after i discovered the ringworm had re-appeared in a new location. i go to the dentist next tuesday to have my fake-fake tooth replaced with my new fake tooth.

i'm obsessed with finding a pair of chairs to replace my huge comfy chair, not that i have the money for something like that. something like these would make me happiest. i found a cute little chair at a thrift store near work for $5; it needs re-upholstering (it sports lots of cat-claw holes), but i don't have a clue as to how much that might cost me. actually, i'm obsessed with looking for things to buy in general. i don't know why, since i spent all my money on the the new car.

i finally get to go back to my job tomorrow morning. i've spent the last two and a half weeks filling in for my officemate. i love the 3:30pm end-time, but hate the 5:00am alarm clock. doing his job is a nice break, but i'll be glad to get back to my desk. the new manager is taking us out for lunch tomorrow -- his treat. maybe i should have told him how much i liked the shirt he wore today.

i made a giant fruit salad tonight. i had a sudden and urgent need for fresh fruit. my diet over the last couple of weeks has been just abysmal. i was practically frantic for a salad by sunday. funny how that happens.

i'm not dead, but i've been pretty damn boring. you really weren't missing much at all.
