What I Have Done Today
1) Taken my car in for an intermittent problem with the Service Engine light going off, which happened on a regular basis right after I filled the tank, and when the tank was nearly empty, whichw as cured by going out and fiddling with the gas cap which led both me and the servicepeople to think it was either a sensor gone wrong or a vapor leak, which would have set the sensor off but not caused any other problems. Turns out, to all of our surprises, to have been an ignition switch malfunction that wasn't affecting anything but the security system that makes it lock up with someone tries to hotwire it. And it was covered under warranty. The scheduled maintenance that I had them also do wasn't, naturally.
2) Failed to work from home. I got in for about an hour or so, and then it froze and the connection dropped and I couldn't reconnect after that. I'm wondering if my computer at work rebooted or something, but by the time that possibilty occurred to me it was too late to bother emailing my coworker and asking him to pop his head around the corner of my cube and see if it was on.
3) Burned DVD backups from my computer, cleaned off a ton of files, ran checkdisk and defragged it. All of which were desperately overdue.
4) Took a nap while the checkdisk was happening. :)
5) And last but by far not the least, have potentially broken a toe by slamming it into the cat's scratching post. I've broken a toe before - right foot second toe - and this one - left foot, third toe - didn't hurt as badly at first so I figured it was just bruised, but the pain hasn't gotten any less and it's developed some swelling and spectacular bruising. The pain, like my previously broken toe after the first couple of days, is primarily when I manage to put excess weight on it, but otherwise it's not affecting me badly other than causing me to phone my mother and whine, so I'm not going to bother the doctor about it unless it gets worse. All they can do is X-ray it, tape it to the toes next to it, get me a hard shoe, and give me pain drugs for the pain that isn't actually bad. The doctor, last time, couldn't believe that I wasn't bothering to take the Vicoprofen he'd given me except at night, but I couldn't drive after taking it, and otherwise it didn't hurt except when I put weight on it wrong, so why bother?
But it gives me license to whine to people about it and limp terribly when I think they're looking at me, like our dog did when I was growing up. If you removed a burr or a fire ant from between her paw pads, after a couple of minutes she'd be fine and walk normally, except when she thought you were looking at her, whereupon she'd start to limp in a hysterically exagerrated manner. :D

How're you doing with the commissions/
Sephirothelf-stripper assignment? I can't wait to see the Renji/Ichigo one, and the office fantasy.no subject
Sephirothelf-stripper* assignment, so much so that tonight has to be dedicated to it so I can get SOME SORT OF PROGRESS done. Moreso because I forgot I have to work at the library on Sunday, and the weekend after I'm going to Houston, so I won't be able to do a whole lot that weekend.I forgot about icing the toe - I should do that. It's developed a faint throbbing now, but that's because the cat got wild and unexpectedly attacked a ribbon belt on a robe of mine and landed ON MY FOOT OW. She got an earful of cussing, I tell ya.

Just an idea. I live on the NW side of town.
