it could have been worse…
30 Friday Jan 2009
It’s true that I don’t really start functioning properly until I’ve had my 1.5 cups of steaming hot coffee in the morning, preferably brought to my bedside by Nog so I can stay snuggled under the duvet with my laptop until I have to get up and face the day. But yesterday wasn’t a typical day because I had the dreaded CT scan scheduled and so, even after the usual amount of morning coffee, I decided to stay in bed awhile longer, snuggle cats, and try to forget what was going to happen.
As it turned out, and compared to previous “scan days”, it could have been much worse…
lunch and stuff

Good friends, good food, good wine …
Pipocas, Flor and I had an absolutely fabulous time at Tre Fratelli yesterday. In fact, it was a pretty fine day all round. Starting off with yoga class, then an hour or so later Flor came over for further computer instruction. Pip met us here and we walked over to the restaurant together. And for the next three hours there wasn’t even the eensiest hint of dead air.
Today will be quite something else. I need to fast from about 10am and then start drinking that gawd awful strawberry-flavoured barfium snot around 4 o’clock. Then I’ll walk up to Pip’s office at 6 and we’ll head off to the hospital for my CT scan.
Ah well, at least I have some nice memories …

Sevilla Tapas Map
Yesterday morning I went to yoga class and then came home to ride The Bike for an hour (go me!). I was also helping Nog with a temp job doing exam prep stuff for an English school and trying to figure out how to update my WordPress, so I didn’t get round to looking at the first “baby step task” on my list until after lunch. This was to put google maps on the tapas blog so that people could see the locations with just one click. Before I knew it, it was 8 o’clock and my one class of the day was at the door – and I was still in my sit-around-the-house clothes (eep!). But as it was an old student/friend coming back after a few years it didn’t matter … much.
