i honestly thought today was tuesday. lynne had to point out to me that it was actually wednesday. the whole holiday monday has messed up my perception of time. i can’t wait to see what i’ll be like next week after the time change.
speaking of which, do we change to standard or daylight time this weekend? i can never remember which way it goes. you’d think it would be standard during the summer and daylight savings in the winter, wouldn’t you? i should look that up some time.
tonight, i’m going to the airport to pick up karen, my quasi-sister. i don’t know any details, but i’m assuming she’s coming out to look for a job and a place to live. this makes me very happy. she’s been living away in manitoba for over ten years and mom and i both miss her. i’m trying not to harbour any secret hopes that she’ll want to share a large, beautiful two-bedroom apartment with me. i think she’s one of a handful of people i could share accomodations with. but i’m getting ahead of myself, as usual.
got a bit of a headache today. it was probably too much fresh air and exercise from yesterday. stupid sunshiny days make me want to act outside the bounds of my capabilities. screw it, i’m going out again at lunch today. i’m having problems adjusting back into the flourescents. i’m so thankful for my window.
i made the mistake of looking in the computer paper with marie to give her an idea of what she’ll spend on a new computer for herself. i can upgrade my beastie for only a couple hundred bucks! no. i have that money earmarked for other things. i don’t need a new bloody computer. i’m still looking for that slot-1 celeron 550, though.
lots of work to do and very little desire to do it. want to go back to the aquarium (this time with someone *fun*) to attempt to talk my way into the seal habitat. i want to pet da vinci the harbour seal. *arf arf*
just remember… spring forward, fall back.
spring ahead, fall back
an hour early, a heart attack
an hour later, you feel greater
btw: if aquarium staff would likely
only let you pet a seal if you agreed
to wear plastic gloves and let the
animal decide if it wants to be petted
check for just after feeding times when
the seals are frisky but satiated
the state aquarium in north carolina has a petting section. no seals, but i found a really cuddly horseshoe crab. and urchins feel really neat when they crawl around on your hand…
Okay, so I was thinking about this once and it makes my head hurt. If you were to be born in, say, January, then die in June, and were counting how many hours you’d lived, would that mean you lost an hour of your life by being born during the time shift? Or would it be the other way around?
Right now we’re in DT, I thought, and would go to ST come Sunday. Although people still say that it’s EST all year round. Bugs the heck out of me as many small inconsequential things do!
