At least I didn't fall in the toilet

I had a pretty bad night.  The higher dose of Wellbutrin does a great job of slaying depression, but can make me hallucinate or keep me up all night.  The Haldol rocks on slaying hallucinations and other wierdness, but I barely slept. 

My back is still bothering me, too.  I pulled a muscle coughing.  Yeah, I'm still coughing but not as bad.  It could have been a lot worse, though. 

First thing this morning, poor, dumb, Baby Girl fell in the toilet after I urinated, and prior to flushing.  She looked like a very unhappy, wet, rat.  She wanted me to pet her.  I said no. 

She went off and cleaned herself.  [Shudder]  That must have been an awful job.  My first of the morning, lithium laden urine is legendary.  Probably due to dehydration, which is a big risk taking the drug.  I drink and drink and drink and I am usually still mildly dehydrated.   I drink a quart of water every night just in bed.  I wake up thirsty, drink, and go back to sleep. 

NOT complaining, just stating.  So, the poor kitten falls into a toilet full of really strong urine.  What a lousy start to the day.  She didn't let it slow her down; that's one thing I think God wants me to learn from her - don't sit around whining, just move on. 

Sadly, this makes two toilet dunks and one "bath" (Ron accidentally knocked her into the tub while bathing, but he likes tepid water).  She has a great attitude, she just climbs out, cleans up, and moves on. 

It's been my experience, and forgive me if I've said this before: the sweetest cats are usually the dumbest.  The one that wants to sleep in the washing machine, stick it's head in the toilet, and go investigate the nice doggy over the fence.  At least, that's my experience. 

Bubba is very smart: but distant.  I got about 2 minutes of petting from him today; where Baby Girl "lets" me pick her up and cuddle her.  She still won't get in my lap, but she likes to sit on my head when I watch TV. 

I had gotten up later, so I did my God Time later.  I got my shower, dressed - wearing one of my new pocket t shirts.  I was so glad I got it.  Several times today I needed to put my keys, security badge, and cell phone (all of which hang around my neck 'cause I'm special and will forget them otherwise) into the pocket as I did lifting and carrying for Ron. 

We went to the warehouse and I got my chips.  We are getting ready to raise candy bar prices, so I didn't buy any candy.  Why give it away ahead of time?  Besides, MOST of the candy is fine, I need more things like peanuts and crackers.  I got them, so glad they were light boxes and not heavy cases of soda.  My back, you know. 

I didn't throw out my back, I just pulled a muscle.  With rest and a little babying, it will heal fine.  God knows I've done worse lifting weights. 

Ron asked me when I'd start working out again, and I told him "When I get manic".  I'll have lots of energy and motivation. 

Anyway, we had a good ride to work and I got everything stocked.  I helped Ron stock sodas and all the other machines.  Everyone is behaving.  We did have some sales.  Ron got back the money we had spent at the warehouse.  Busy, busy. 

Finally, all done and we went home.  Someone wonderful bought me a new Kindle.  You know who you are! 

However, it needed wi-fi which I don't have at home.  I thought about being rude and logging onto someone else's network, but they wisely had passwords. 

One of my internet friends did not have a password on his Wi-fi, back in the first days of Wi-fi.  One day the FBI showed up at his door.  Kiddie porn.  Downloaded on his account.  My friend was able to prove it wasn't his household.  They set up a sting and got the guy, who lived around the corner.  Goes to show you need that password. 

However, tons of places have free wi-fi.  Like Starbucks.  So, I went to Starbucks.  I got our drinks.  I got some Kolaches (Kolache factory has wi-fi, too). 

I took out the Kindle and started configuring the account.  I had to tell Amazon it was on my account or everything would have gone on the purchaser's!   Thanks a lot! 

I got that done and then turned on the laptop.  It took a minute but I figured out how to get it talking to the Wifi.  About 4 other guys on laptops in the store.  I got into my account and started sending titles (out of my archived books) to the new Kindle.  About 160 according to the Kindle.  That took a while.  Realplayer crashed the computer for a minute.  I don't know how. 

All in all, a very productive trip.  And, since I have my Kindle configured, I can use a USB cable hooked to the computer to download books now.  I don't HAVE to go to a wi-fi spot to manage my Kindle.  I'm still figuring it out.  I got the dead one two years ago, which is like 200 in real years. 

Our pickup driver was very, very, late.  He's just a guy who gets flustered easily.  We had a couple more pickups and then we got dropped. 

But wait, we're not done!  We had to file the online accounting report, which I did, just under the wire. 

Now Ron and I are hanging out and listening to music.  I did get my God Time between work and Starbucks and the Kindle is charging.  It was hungry. 

Remember this:  no matter how crazy your day, at least you didn't fall in the toilet. 

I hope.
