for everyone who was at dinner on Saturday

I managed to successfully microwave my papadum.

Apparently Pepper likes them too. I didn't feed her any, but she ate half of the napkin I microwaved them on.

pounding headache

I have a headache, and they are pounding next door.

Apparently the suite next door has been rented and they are "renovating" it. Which means that there are several hispanic men in there with sledgehammers banging holes in the walls. Since Monday morning.

Ow.

It's loud enough that people on the other end of the phone line are asking what the racket is.

I went over there to ask how much longer this would be going on, and I think he said they will be done today, but there were some language issues so I'm not sure.

Did I mention Ow?

On the plus side, I should actually have an accounting system to work on either tomorrow or Thursday. We found a backup from last November. At least it has the chart of accounts in it. If I have to re-enter 9 months worth of data, I'd prefer to start sooner than later. Putting it off ain't gonna make it any easier.

(oh, Ow)

Also a plus - I was able to get a massage appointment tomorrow evening, so I will spend my birthday evening getting a massage, an aromatherapy shower, and hopefully a good night's sleep. Yes, I am easily pleased.

I want a nap. Preferably a nice QUIET one!
