Victory!

For the first time in two weeks, I slept through the night without waking in the pre-dawn hours to discover more bug bites. In other good news, I'm not at work today, being that College I Work For has fall break, and thus, no students are there to foist my harm-reduction strategies upon. I've been up since 9:00 am and have 'accomplished' the following:

  • inspired by yesterday's viewing of the New York City marathon, went jogging by the Hudson only to discover how out of shape I am and to realize that I will probably never run a marathon (or run over 7 miles, for that matter)
  • call HP customer service to report problems with my iPod, in the process, get a little snippy with customer service, run troubleshooting on my iPod and get the 'sad mac' face on the screen of my iPod. End result: I'm getting a new iPod, but whatever we did to my current one, it's not working.
  • speak with Mom, cancel our lunch plans because she's not feeling well, but determine that we will go to dinner and Broadway on Friday night, which I do not have to pay for as long as I can scoot my butt over to TKTS that morning to get half-price tickets
  • purchase tickets for tonight's show at the Bowery Ballroom. I love Josh Kelley.
  • contact the exterminator and find out that someone else in my building has called to report a problem with bedbugs (it's not just me - I don't know how I feel about that news). The exterminator states that he is in the midst of figuring out 'what he is going to do' and asks me to call back around 3:00 pm. This does not inspire confidence.
  • e-mail the coordinator of my volunteer program to ask if I can be excused from Saturday morning's training, since I will be attending The Lawyer's father's memorial service
  • glance at my syllabus for next week's classes and start to think about reading
  • spend an hour on craigslist and villagevoice.com to try to find an apartment in my same neighborhood which I can afford

Right now, I am trying to work up the motivation to venture outside again (and it's gorgeous, I don't know why this is such a problem) to go up to Mt. Sinai so they can determine if I have tuberculosis, based upon something mysterious which they injected into my arm last Friday.
