I wasted some of my very few words today, to say to the guys that - if they're lucky, I'll be quiet tomorrow as well. I have very nearly no voice, and I figure that if I shut up now... that's sensible. Other than mild phlegm, that is my only symptom. Except for the morning cough, which got me up at four, but stopped by five.

I know I shouldn't do it, but I have checked my work email. I am sure that the message I sent was not even slightly hysterical, but it was a frank assessment of a pig of a mess. So now I have a lovely, calm, and constructive message from an accountant. I think he's agreeing that bad things are happening, and I do have my priorities straight, but he's also suggesting calm and methodical ways to approach things. That's really very nice.

I'm gonna see my brother this week, if everything goes to plan

I bought another pair of old people shoes today. In the process I learned that this shop has an extra mental smiley - because they actually keep a record of your size and width and all. So you indicate what you want, and they bring it out and just check the size without multiple pairs.

A few other words I used today, aside from the minimum I needed to get my salad, was to say that I had just considered going to order my salad by using a note. But then I thought it might look like a robbery.

Also, as I left the office - I said that if AMP call, I hate their guts. Then I did say something like 'Seriously - you can say that'.
