Okay, body, we have one thing left to do...

My last big pre-surgery task is to relax. Don't stress. Sleep. The problem is, whenever I get really stressed, I get sick. If I get sick, no surgery. So I'm going to try not to think about it. Be zen. Make meditation noises. Ummmmm Ummmmm.

Unfortunately I got a bad start. My sinuses were bothering me last night, so I lost too many hours of sleep to a headache keeping me awake. I've been short on sleep for weeks now, so I must catch up. (This weekend is Labor Day weekend here in the US, so hopefully that will help.)

I can't believe how little time is left.

8/29 (Friday) Lab work and EKG (Before work, hopefully it won't take too long and I won't be too late. No idea how long an EKG takes.)
9/1 (Monday) Labor Day (off)
9/2 (Tuesday) Class and appointment with surgeon (PTO day from work)
9/8 (Monday) Car to dealer -- probably half-day of sitting there (can't be put off, unfortunately)
9/12 (Friday) Mother flies in (2:30 PM)
9/15 (Monday) Surgery -- unknown time.

Unrelated, I'm finally replacing my computer monitor. The game I play (FFXIV) has a day/night system, and at night I'm basically blind because it's so dark. My monitor is 10+ years old, so it's probably the reason why. I bought this one, which is due to arrive tomorrow. Can't wait!

Might I interest you in an adult Doctor Who movie?

( Work safe but suggestive image behind the cut. )

I'm not a Doctor Who fan, but the above image made me snicker, so I decided to share this.

While I haven't watched it, the movie is free to watch online (if you're over 18). It is, of course, NWS. Porn and all.

Reviews say parts of it (the non-sex stuff: costuming and effects) are surprisingly good, but the sex is bad. That about matches up with the porn versions of the Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America, all those movies.

Unrelated: While I 100% failed on my diet today (or, well, 66% I guess -- breakfast and lunch), I seem to be on track to succeed on the sleeping end of things. I (sadly) bowed out of a good RP scene so I could go to bed.

On! And gonzostar (or anyone), do you have a protein shake you like? I tried to research it tonight, but opinions on brands/flavors are surprisingly hard to find. I must be failing in my searches, because the opinions have to be out there somewhere. I need to start shopping for the shakes, powders, and the special vitamins soon.

Must not get nervous. Still lots of time left to figure all this out. *meditation noises*
