Feeling a bit better, gmail, phillychix photo

My head is feeling a bit better this morning. It’s just a dull ache as long as I’m sitting still, hurts when I squint or yawn or cough, or do other things to move the muscles around it. Michael picked up some antibiotic gel that contains some pain reliever, so I’m sure that’s doing a lot to help it. No sick feeling or headaches beyond just the cut itself, and the cut is looking much better since I was able to shower and clean it a bit last night (ouchie!). Everything seems to be healing properly %) I called the doctor’s office in downtown Schwenksville yesterday afternoon and made an appointment to get the stitches removed on tuesday, no plans to leave the house before that either, unless I put on a hat.

And for everyone that wants a picture, this is all you get.

Michael was so great to me yesterday. He took the day off of work (not just to take care of me, he didn’t get to bed until almost 4 am friday morning!) He jumped up to get anything I needed, even went outside and mowed the lawn (I had been planning on doing that this weekend). Caligula stayed home too, we changed his appointment to Monday because getting him to the vet hospital between 7 and 8am was pretty much out of the question (he has no clue how lucky he is!).

One good thing did happen yesterday while I was lurking around IRC and complaining about how my head hurt (I did take a nap, but all that was on TV was Reagan’s Funeral and I had nothing better to do). My friend offered me a gmail account! They aren’t so horribly rare since this week, because it seems that everyone on the system got 3 invites, and even new users are getting invites (so I was able to give Michael one too). Of course I generally use my princessleia.com address for my mail, and I’ll continue to do that, but I also have maintained a pleia2@yahoo.com address since 1999, I use that for newsletters I know will be spammy (webmd, bizzarre news), html emails (comics, starwars.com). I also like to have an email address outside of the clockbot network so that I can test things. Gmail has some good ideas, I’m excited to see how it progresses %)

I got the photo from the phillychix meeting off my camera last night:

pinkee and Lyz
pinkee and pleia2

It was pinkee’s last meeting (she’s moving to Ohio) and our one year anniversary. Too bad more people didn’t show up. And that photo was taken about 3 hours before my little accident. It sort of morphed into a pseudo-meeting since both our boyfriends were lurking around on their laptops, and we both felt fine about letting them join the conversation.

We don’t really have plans for today, probably just putter around the house doing little things. The weather is nice but I’m not really up for outdoor adventures this weekend.
