a "do nothin" type of day

Today I job shadowed for the morning. I think I'll have forgotten everything I learned yesterday, which was going into a new system and doing the very basics. The shadowing part was kind of pointless...the woman I was paired with did three different jobs, so I only got to bear witness to about four out of 21 tasks that would have related to me. I'm not concerned though. Not until I pass the test!

I felt like crap yesterday - one tonsil was way bigger than the other, and I was hot/cold/hot, and all sorts of flu type things. I made an appt with the doctor for today and I feel okay now...of course. I'll still go though. It kind of breaks up the day - I mean, I could be "off" without any more public appearances but no...the bra and socks will stay on, the hair will stay up until I get home again. Only an hour and a half to kill!

A friend of mine had disappeared suddenly, with no forwarding address...she had went off her medication and gave away everything - animals (7) and all furnishings and papers and thought it would be ideal to just "be" without encumberances. I could understand that...to just run away...who hasn't wanted to do that? This was back in October. Yesterday I got an email from her, an attachment only, no words...and figured it might be spam. This morning I got 7 emails from her - all attachments - and I somehow deleted all of them from my yahoo account - I didn't mean to. I tried opening one, but it said that the server didn't support the attachment or somesuch, and I closed it, and all her emails disappeared. Yet...I wonder if it was her...it was her style, to send pictures and no words or seven short poems in a row, or whatever. If she sends more, I'll try to open them again...see what she sent. I think about her often...and hope that she is okay. If it is indeed a virus and I crash my computer...oh well. The other alternative is to go to the library and open it there :D, which has been suggested to me. We'll see...

I've no other words for today.
