07. 08. EXCUSES

No pictures today. The headache that I mentioned on the dinner post of the 4th appears to be something along the lines of a mild case of heatstroke and dehydration. Which is kind of funny, since it’s not like I had so much work that I couldn’t possibly be bothered with drinking a blasted cup of water — it wasn’t that hot, and I did drink when I was thirsty. Evidently that’s not enough. Well, at least we suspect that it’s — I just realized that maybe “heatstroke” isn’t even the right word. That sounds much too dramatic. What it is, is that I still have this headache and I’m drinking gallons and gallons of water. I wasn’t much in the mood for taking pictures all day today, also I had a visit with the dentist so that was a hassle. This week doesn’t bode well for relaxation. But just for reference, breakfast was cereal: lunch was a ham and cheese sandwich: dinner was chicken, salmon and beef (I know, right, welcome to the festival of protein) along with assorted side dishes and rice. And a gallon of water. I am almost done with A Tale of Two Cities and maybe it’s because I do most of my reading on a bike but I must confess that I have no idea what’s going on. Also Sidney Carton is one of those characters that grovel and beg to be liked, so I can’t. Oh, Dickens, how you toy with my volatile heart.
