So Thursday was my first day back to work in 13 days. It was nice to see everybody, especially as they all seemed so happy to see me. But it was hard to go back to work after being at home for two weeks and sitting on my ass or sleeping the whole time (well, I was on drugs and recovering from surgery (still recovering) - what do you expect?). In 10 days I'd left the house 6 times: 2 for the doctor's office, 3 for the pharmacy, 1 for the grocery store. All within a two-mile radius of the house. I was going NUTS! Getting out, driving to Durham, and generally doing normalish stuff was good. It was swell to see a couple of friends.
Why did I find "Taken" lackluster before, but last night and tonight have been interesting? Gonna have to find a way to see the finale, though I won't be home. I usually like Sci Fi stuff, even some cheesy and lame things draw me in (I may not like them, but I have to watch them anyway). But early on, "Taken" didn't do it for me. Now, though, it gets good. Well, it's probably better that I didn't watch 20 hours of it.
Gee, maybe I need to start keeping a journal again. Look at how much I like to write. I've completely avoided havinga livejournal for ages. Thought about making a deadjournal, but didn't do it. I guess I like the idea of being anti-trendy, but i follow trends just the same. Maybe they're different ones. Maybe I just want to tell myself that I pick and choose. But I probably don't.
The store in Durham has 750ml bottles of Wollaver Cider for $3.99. I get 20% off. And Highlander Black Mocha Stout ( ) is on sale too. This rocks. After not drinking for ten days, and drinking very little for four weeks, this is a good way to start back. That, and the Guinness draft already in the 'fridge, makes me happy. Yay!
To self: Stop and go to bed. It's late. Tomorrow will be a long day. Now if only I can find a way to get to SG from work through the web filter....
