What are you going to do today?

[Lestat]

Eat. I am SOOO hungry. Still some slight lingering appetite suppression from the pseudoephedrine derivatives created in my last project, but that faded away after taking the muscle relaxer I use to un-cramp and de-spasm the area of my iffy leg affected by the nerve damage, and a generous shot of morphine. 

Right now I am just nibbling my last handful of wine gums, but there are several packs of cheese slices in the fridge that I can hear in the background, calling my name and shouting 'eeeeeaaatttt meeeeeee....eeeeaat meee' I THINK I might even have a cold beer left too. If not then theres certainly coke. None of that low sugar, or diet muck either, real, original proper coke. But if I'm not mistaken there might just be a guinness pale in there for me. I do hope so, because I'm as thirsty as I am hungry. All I've had today are two caramel-covered digestive biscuits, just to get me up on my feet for a moment after first waking up, which wasn't long ago.

Although my old man has just gone shopping, and I sent him off with a request to pick up some grapefruit segments in cans of grapefruit juice and some cartons of unsweetened grapefruit juice, which I absolutely adore. Reminds me somewhat of all the times as a youngling spent staying at my grandmother's place up in yorkshire, because along with choices of cereal, one thing she always served up for breakfast, was tinned grapefruit in its own juice, which I either ate unsweetened or sometimes, with a wee bit of honey drizzled over the top.

Its been a firm favourite of mine for years, presumably because she served it up so often as a kid. And in addition since I got on pain meds for my leg/hips there are flavonoids in grapefruit juice that act as quite powerful and very longlived cytochrome P450-3A4 and P450-2D6 inhibitors, these being liver enzymes that are responsible for breaking down morphine, oxy and many other pharmaceutical entities into useless garbage. So breakfast will in this case also help make my pain relief far longer lived and somewhat more acutely effective too.

Going for Irlen testing. When I get home from that, I plan to have a nap to catch up on sleep. Then I have homework.

I might go to see my colleagues in the conference social room--yup, there is such a place. The good thing about my field is that most people are nice but they are also geeks, nerdy and not very social. This means that even if you do a social thing, you don't have to be in the middle of it. You can stay in the fringes and chat with one person at a time.

  That's how I tend to behave at the workplace Christmas party.  That, and look at my phone.

A phone helps.

My problem at conferences these days is that people recognise me and want to talk to me.

  Yes!  I want a dark olive green shirt.  I want to see what it does for my eye color.

Heh. Not usually, no.

I voted by mail last week.  Glad I did with all that's happening right now.

Do you have an escape route to Canada plotted?
