I slept well last night, though I went to bed with a headache. I got up this morning and read the news, and burnt some discs. I also tripped and fell in my room, nearly ripping off a toenail, which was extremely painful, and later, bloody. Ick.

My BSG 4 soundtrack and new DS9 book arrived just as I was leaving with Mark for his therapy session; I had to go so I could learn some of the exercises to help Mark at home. It was all very nice; his coach is a Joss Whedon fan, who liked my shirt. And I did my part, by throwing away a copy of the Watchtower that someone had left in the office. The only downside to all this was that I was aching to hear my new music and read my new book.

After that we went to Meijer and RiteAid to get 2 of my drugs filled (Regan & Midrin) and both are now covered by my 'insurance' plan - so I only had a $1 co-pay, which was a nice surprise. We went to LC where I got some crazy bread, which was just ok, and I only ate the smallest amout to satisfy me. When I got home I dived into the soundtrack and later my book, before taking a nap.

I had strange dreams involving a picnic with some old church friends, dildos, sex, friendly relatives (though not sex friendly) and it felt extremely innocent. Why can't life be like that? lol

I read a bit more of my book. It's not what I was expecting at all. I expected all the action to be set in the present of DS9, but a lot of it goes back and explains how all this stuff happened, which is awesome. But we need a book that takes place in the 'here & now' of the books. The most recent plot arc has only unfolded (slowly) over 5 books, but the length of time between each installment has often been measured in years, so it feels like we're dragging out feet, though if they'd all been released in a year it wouldn't feel that way. Assuming there are people who will read these books in later years, the way the story unfolds will feel much more natural and evenly paced, I'm sure.

Kind of like watching tv shows like BSG on DVD. I watched the deleted scenes from the finale, and I'm guessing these particular scenes weren't edited back into the extended cut because most of them will probably be used in "The Plan". That's just a guess, but hopefully it's a good guess. lol. I'll be handing those dvds off to Carrie or Bryan & Chris soon. Michael still needs to see the final 4 episodes (with the last one spanning nearly 3 hours), but maybe he can watch them with me and Mollie? It's a thought.

I feel slightly out of it. Not sure why. Maybe because I've taken my pills twice today and they make me sleepy.
