Let's See, Thursday? Well, whew

So I know, wasn't that bookcase video yesterday cool? I first saw it on Bookshelf Porn, but have since seen it at least two other places (Boing Boing, of course, and Unclutterer, funnily enough).

Now, on with today. I had a bit of a headache this morning, and might have called in to work, but I had an appointment to bring my car in to the shop, and considering that it was for several things including a visibly low-on-air tire, and also considering that I have a drive planned for the day after tomorrow, I figured I'd better just suck it up. Not really a bad headache (at the time ... cue ominous foreshadowing), just a damnit-hormones-go-away thing.

So off I went, only realizing when I was almost there that I forgot my cell phone. The one day I actually need it! I always have it with me, I virtually never need it, but there you are, I stuck it on the charger last night and this morning I was all about getting ready to leave earlier than usual and whump. Figures.

So I bring in the car, and after a brief hope of a loaner it turned out they didn't have one available, so someone can drop me at work but not pick me up later, great. I explain about the phone and arrange to call in* late morning to see how things are going.

*Because not only did I forget my cell, I have no desk phone at work. Which is normally not a problem, but would have been handy today.

I called around 10:30 and got the receptionist, who was sure my car was next in line (my translation: she had no idea) and suggested I call again around 1. Well, after she assured me that they would call me, and I explained why they wouldn't. I did call shortly after 1, and this time the owner answered. Of course he had no idea either, so I gave up on that. Given a headache that now felt like the left side of my brain wanted to secede, it hardly seemed to matter.

I had asked a coworker who lives not-too-far from the shop if she could give me a ride, which she kindly did. I got the car, though I have to go back after work tomorrow for one more thing (which is so like life, isn't it? always just one more thing). And now I am home, dealing with the head-stomach-cramps joy of Being A Woman. About which enough said, don't you think?

So! Moving on! Today's video is a little different. Give this a watch and see if you agree with me: I believe the cat is thinking, "Well, I don't know why this bed is moving so much, but eh, it's warm, so who cares."



Do you agree?
