So I am starting to feel human again - well, aside from the fact that occasionally I feel like the monster from Alien when she starts dripping goo from the ceiling. But I’m still taking it easy. Yesterday was my first day back on the computer and I even managed to get a little bit of writing done.

Anyway, yesterday, as I was sitting on the couch, laptop on my lap, tv playing something just for some noise in the background, I looked out my window to see a couple of firemen carrying a big hose across the lawn of the next courtyard over (I live in a big apartment complex and the buildings are arranged in a way that there’s lots of courtyard space, though I can only see the back of one of the buildings that forms the courtyard in question).

Naturally, my curiousity was peaked so I got up and went out to the deck (is it still called a deck if it’s made out of concrete?). I could here fire engines and a few minutes later, no less than a dozen firemen, in full gear, passed by. Hmmm….

Now, were I not sick I realized I probably would have run outside to see what was going on - there were some other gawkers. I hated myself for thinking that.

But then I thought, well, someday it might come in useful for research.

Is that a lame crock or what? What kind of crazy excuse is that? Ugh! But, in my defense, they could have looked like this…

Also, does anyone know a good way to disinfect a laptop? I mean get it un-germy, nothing more technical than that.

Anyone have any fun plans for the weekend? I’m just going to try to get better myself.
