Highlights of the two days since I've been back:
Old problems with a formerly close friend rear their ugly head again, decide I'm not gonna have any sort of b-day thing now that I'm back.
Wake up yesterday, discover a nastygram from my apartment complex over $10 they forgot to charge me at the beginning of the month.
Go to put my laptop in its usual bag, discover the cats have used it as a litterbox overnight.
Road construction starts early today, I'm already late, so I'm just getting later.
Get to work, everything is exactly as I left it a week ago, no one's done any work on this communal area.
Work is, of course, crazy so I don't get to leave when I'm supposed to, to catch food before the Michel Gondry sneak-preview.
I have to get fast-food for lunch because I don't have enough time to get a proper meal, and I didn't have time to make food in the morning.
Get a grumpy call at 5:15 asking where I am, as I'm supposed to be on my way to dinner.
Leave work, traffic is unbelievably fucked. Getting later and later, not going to be able to get dinner.
An hour later, I find a minute, shitty little parking spot, which requires all my inadequate parking skills and a little bumping to get into.
Meet friends at the restaurant as they're finishing what looks like a delicious meal. I get talked around for most of the time waiting for the movie.
Movie was awesome, in a painful sort of way.
Get home, get mail. Check I'm expecting is not there, bill for further hospital stuff (which I thought had already been covered) is there.
Finally get calmed down, starting to fall asleep way later than I'd hoped. Cat tries to climb into bed, my finger is in his path, I get a very painful wake-up call. Cursing like a sailor, I go into the bathroom, can't get my finger to stop bleeding. Finally get a band-aid on, try to get back asleep but the pain is too much. Cry till my eyes are about swollen shut, then read a bit till I can get back to sleep.

Gondry movies might actually be theraputic, as they get your brain thinking in creative ways. "Eternal Sunshine" is life-affirming in a weird way. I have high hopes for the new one.

That's kind of a fucked up day. Today was probably better. Tomorrow, too.
