day five: still not king

the_siobhanCoffee. Yah coffee. Good idea. Yar.
(Apparently caffeine turns one into a pirate. Who knew?)
-------------------
The DSL woke up this morning and I have email again.
It's like the world just suddenly went back to normal.
-------------------
The computers are set up, and we have a partial office stencilled out. Most of the cookware is sorted into the kitchen or packed away in storage. All the phones work and there is temporary shelving rigged so my clothes don't have to live in a plastic bag.
And the living room is still packed full of stuff.
Oh yeah... and I unpacked three more milk crates of booze, and I'm pretty sure there's a least one more just over the other side of that bookshelf. We don't call this place the Gin Palace for nothing.
-------------------
All the spiders that live in our house seem to be of the same species. Their legs are so long I mistook them for really big Harvestmen at first. (Also known as daddy-long-legs.) But they have segmented bodies and build chaotic cobwebs in all the corners of the basement so they are true arachnids.
I noticed the other day that three particularily large ones have built nets across our bedroom window. I'm torn. On the one hand, it's the most insect-free room in the house.
But they are right over my head! I keep thinking of those statistics that got published a while back about how many spiders the average adult swallows while sleeping.
-------------------
My stomach is doing weird things to me. I am getting unbelievable hunger, and then I eat and I am nauseous. It's weird. And it's not any kind of bug, as far as I can tell.
If anything, it reminds me of when I used to have a very active ulcer. Acid production would kick in at normal feeding times and I would get ravenous. Then my stomach would fill up with blood and I would get sick.
The only thing that doesn't make me think it's an ulcer is that there is no pain. Last couple of times it hurt like a mother. Usually in response to stress though, and although I've had lots of that lately, it hasn't been the negative kind of eat-myself-from-the-inside stress that used to trigger my stomach problems.
So -- I dunno. Maybe I'm just allergic to eating. I should get all my vitamin intake from Guinness from now on.
But I'm not giving up the coffee.
