I Can’t….anymore

I can, I’m not, originally uploaded by dooce.

Unannounced break

Sorry about not posting anything meaningful lately, but I’ve been somewhat busy. Between a friend of mine’s birthday on friday, another friend’s barbeque on saturday, church on sunday, and then eye surgery yesterday, there really wasn’t much time to really get anything written. But I apologise.

Right now, though, I look like an extra from 28 Days Later. That’s how bloodshot my eyes are. And my tear ducts have been running in overdrive the past 36 hours trying to get all the random goop out of them. The fact that I have to put ointment on 3 times a day doesn’t really help, but whatever. I’ll live.

As for work, I’m still unemployed. Still. This economy needs to get itself up off it’s ass and take it like a man.

I guess this is all for now, I’m going to go get something to eat. ‘Cos I’m hungry.
