So how was your week?

I am beyond tired. So tired was I yesterday, at the end of the day, I was afraid I could not complete my tasks when (I usually finish with hours to spare. Simple things were taking me twice as long or more. You know when you're supposed to do or read something and you just sit there looking at the screen unable to comprehend what's written, unable to act or make decisions? That tired.

If I could, I'd sleep all day. Unfortunately, I have the weekend shift. I hope nothing out of the ordinary happens. Basically, if the world exploded, I would not be able to respond. I wouldn't care either.

This total mental shutdown always happens when I haven't been on a break for a while and I've got one coming up. It's like athletes who stop running full speed before they cross the finish line.

There's a bad Trojan on my laptop. (I switched from payed McAfee to free AVG anti-virus software.) The removal instructions are damn complicated. People who create these Trojans should be shot. I don't understand how they can live with themselves.

I now have to take four types of drugs per day (thyrax, simvastine, amaryl, pizotifen) to combat hypothyroidism, cholesterol, diabetes and migraine. It's difficult to remember when to take what. The idea of having to take them all is depressing. I wonder what happens if I don't. A few years off my lifespan?

Traders at Dutch 'Marktplaats' do my head in. I don't want to hold the seller's hand, talk about their lovely wares, try to arrange a meeting and finally have the item be sold to someone else before a meeting ever takes place. Much prefer eBay, much more efficient. You either win the item, or not. No fucking endless negotiating.

I have just one and a half more days at work followed by a glorious 12 day break.
