today

loud corsican neighbor has moved out.  i knew she was going to, because earlier this week the office was saying she had things to put in storage, but now her name is gone from the plate on her door, so i know she's left.  will be strange not hearing her phone conversations from down the hall and around a corner (she was only ever loud on the phone, really, but DAMN).

slept and slept.  how nice.  working today, while merrycontrary and juice817 do some more local stuff.  will meet up again this evening.

headaches suck, particularly when one has slept and slept.  should probably eat something.

GAH

migraine = not on my agenda

in which payback is a bitch

five months ago, i practically gave Homeboy J a heart attack when he didn't hear me come into the kitchen.

earlier this afternoon, i was coming back to my room from the bathroom down the hall; and as i turned the corner, Son of a Preacher Man (who had apparently just knocked on my door) said 'Oh, there you are.'  and scared the daylights out of me.  i gasped and recoiled and turned away to face the wall while i pressed a hand to my heart and tried to breathe evenly, and apparently i also turned as white as if i'd seen a ghost.

sometimes karma's no good at all, man.  :-)
