Was a weird week. Spent all of my 3 day weekend home recovering. I cheerfully could have called in Tuesday or Wednesday as well, but I put on my big cultist robes and went to work. Was kind of glad to see people actually. I'm still not 100%, but I'm close (minus the perpetual allergy argument). Mood was pretty lousy though this week. Between being sick, a whole lot of negative memories rising to the surface, and reality being pretty depressing. At least my subconscious eased up on me while I was asleep, with a lack of anxiety dreams. I kind of snapped out of it this morning, as Fridays often fix the ills in my head.

As I said last post, I'll be back to patching on Sunday evening. Approx 30 servers this go-round, but I'll have at least one other admin patching, and other bodies to do support tests and verify applications. So it should be fairly smooth. Week will be a tad short, but that's ok. I still have social plans for tomorrow and for Sunday prior to patching.

So what's up in the land of Vulpine besides work and illness? Lots of books, lots of reading. For some odd reason most of what I've read has been set in London, England between 1890-1920. Originally there was no plan, but between a couple of Mythos tales, and pastiches of Sherlock Holmes and Carnacki the Ghost Finder, and another period fantasy bit I've spent a lot of mental shoe leather wandering around London. Currently reading 'Dust and Shadow' which pits Sherlock against Jack the Ripper. I'm also hoping to have a spare weekend day in the next few weeks where I feel up to finishing up on the rearranging of the Starry Wisdom Library and building of at least one new bookcase. Hopefully I'll be sans plague in time to do this before summer hits. Bedroom also needs work, but that's less pressing. Less books in there. And more work.

Ok, that's about all I have for right now. I have tons of bright ideas for posts, but usually they get detailed just as I'm getting ready for bed. I'm starting to think I need a voice recorder to ramble into so I remember these quirky ideas. For now though, I'm going to enjoy my Friday night hermit. Catch you all later.
