Rainy Saturday

chickenI'm really stressed out right now. It's Saturday, but I have to get the initial Sanskrit module (transliteration) done for Monday. Stress, stress, stress!!!
Plus, last night the car battery wouldn't start at work, but a nice lady with license plate EF-810 (or something like that) in a black pickup truck, gave me a jump. She looked familiar, maybe works at CIS. I was too flustered to remember to introduce myself, but I thanked her profusely. Went to Mom's house after, to try to drive around a lot and get the battery juiced.
I awoke at 6:00 am and went to bathroom but couldn't fall back asleep for two hours, dozed off at last until 9:30.
I tried to start the car then, but no joy.
Our landlord from the third floor and the guy who lives upstairs on the second floor came down and gave me a jump. I always thought that second floor guy was kind of annoying because he plays REALLY loud music (and with bad taste, bad music) a lot, but this time he was nice. Maybe next time he blares his music I'll give it a pass. Just the one time. The landlord had this nifty portable battery (instead of just jumper cables), so he didn't have to even maneuver his car around next to mine.
I went to get a new car battery installed, and the nice man at Tire Pros didn't even charge for labor, wow.
Finally I drove to the farmer's market, drenched in rain, got ratatouille vegetables & basil, peaches and a watermelon. Yum.
I got so soaked and chilled (stupid broken umbrella).
Ellie made me breakfast, bacon and eggs, yum. Warmed up. Had some tea.
Now I have to get started on the Sanskrit programming. Woo, Unicode and Perl. Fun times. But, BBEdit!
Clearly, procrastinating by writing this journal entry was stupid. But oh well.

I don't know about you, but when I've had my butt plastered to this damn office chair for hours on end, it's nice to have a break once in awhile. Even if it is just to chat with the flist. ;)
