scrutiny

finished my book. it was a very abrupt ending. canadian authors and movies have a habit of doing that... you just get into it, think you have a hope of understanding where they're going, and then BOoM! it's over. Now I'm re-reading the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.

i think i am irritable today. wingman is pissing me off. he has stopped answering the door, and i nearly missed a visit from the nurse and her boyfriend. and then he was washing dishes during the only tv show i watch on tuesdays. and now he's talking on the phone while it's still on. and his dog was barking in my ear most of the evening. phew.

i think i am going to stay home again tomorrow, at least in the morning. i could probably drug myself up and make it through the day... and i do feel bad because the students are stuck without me there. they can't really go on with their work until i'm back. i think i need to take care of myself though. i got sick for two reasons: people come back from illness too quickly (or never take the time off), and my immune system wasn't up to snuff because i haven't been sleeping enough or eating right. maybe if i take one more day, i will be able to make it through until christmas without missing a day. this is what sick days are for. right?

Why do i like superheroes so much? I think X-men is the coolest movie ever, and this new tv show, Heroes, is neat-o.
