February 26, 2014

I was an hour late to work this morning thanks to my kidney making me feel uncomfortable again. It didn't ever progress to real pain or a big ache, but I was incredibly uncomfortable. Thankfully that feeling eventually settled itself and I was able to go to work.

I made it to the last page of the second-to-last storybook today. So much progress. The last page is going to take a bit because there is a lot of little stuff to go around, but hopefully I can finish that up tomorrow. And the last book should go pretty fast.

Second grade reading groups went pretty well today. Other than repeatedly banging my knee into the desk I was sitting at. The chairs are too high and the desks are too low. Or any other combination that doesn't accommodate my adult-size, long-legged frame. I normally wander around the group I'm working with but that involves a lot of bending over, which I want to avoid with the kidney stone. I don't want a back ache related to bending over to get confused with my kidney.

I designed Dr. Seuss bookmarks for the cook today. I did it last year too but I only vaguely remember that. She sent me the Publisher file she had but she had crammed ten onto one page, leaving no room for actually printing the thing, so I redid that with only eight per page. She also wanted a quote on the back so I looked around and found a font that looked like a Dr. Seuss book, and the actual quote. Then I arranged it to it looked more Dr. Seuss like and figured out how to print it so it would actually print on the back of each bookmark. I sent it off to her so we'll see what she thinks. The bookmarks are for Dr. Seuss' birthday, I think.

On my way home tonight I went and bought my Powerball tickets. I think the initial excitement has begun to fade so now it is settling into just another thing. Which is good. I went with a quick pick and a second one where I picked the numbers I came up with using my spreadsheet. If I ever win I hope it is with a quick pick because the odds of other people having those numbers are probably a lot less than my spreadsheet numbers, which a lot of people probably use already.


Tonight I caught up on YouTube videos and read stuff. I've been exhausted for most of the day and I couldn't bring myself to do anything else. My throat is starting to get a little sore so I am probably getting a cold. Not surprising considering the Petri dish I work in. I drank a glass of orange juice so I can pretend like I am being proactive about the Vitamin C. But now I'm going to go take something for a sore throat and go to bed.
