Mercury Horror or Why I Went Back To Bed at 2:16pm Today

My horrorscope* today:

"You have been running at a very heightened level of intensity, and interactive Mercury reminds you that you need some downtime today."

Why yes, little horrorscope, I have been running at very heightened levels of activity & intensity for months now. Why yes, I do need some real downtime...

BUT...

BUT...

Liquid on my MacBook Pro this morning pre-caffiene was NOT the way to accomplish some downtime. Then there was the 2 drinking glasses that broke, one in the sink and one right next to my chair. Then then there was the wifi (wlan) router that fell off the cabinet and broke and the only way to get the pieces back to put it back together was to crawl over the broken glass to reach under the cabinet.

Now why was there broken glass still on the floor? Well, the apartment building vacuum cleaner is busted.

So, the computer is now on its side with the battery out hoping against all hope that by tomorrow the liquid will have evaporated and it will start back up nicely. The router is mostly back in one piece once I laid a big fluffy towel over the site of the glass shards to reach the router pieces under the furniture.

And Then, I gave up the ghost and went back to bed at 2:16pm this afternoon. For a while I tried to answer email on the Nokia N97 mobile and watch my twitter stream until I gave up on that endeavor to just nap. Yep, I napped.

I am not a napper, so it was odd. Then Scruffy and I went for a big walk.

Now I am using the Nokia Booklet to write this post before it goes back to WOMWorld tomorrow or the next day. By then, hopefully my Mac will be dry and I can go back to work.

Moral of the story? A lack of connectivity isn't too bad and also naps, unless you had a big 1pm deadline with all the files stuck on the wet computer...

Grr... Mercury, Grrr...

I did have a nice nap and that was good. ;o)

* Yes, I misspelled it for humorous / comedic effect.
