With the main site down at work pretty much all week, I decided to do something nice to try and balance things out.  So, I invited my room-mate and my FRM’s mother and grandmother out to lunch for today.  We were going to meet at their place around 11:30 and then go to the Olive Garden to get a bite to eat.   I figured my room-mate would appreciate getting out of house and the ladies are always fun.

This morning, I got a voice mail and a call from FRM’s mom – she wasn’t feeling well and had to cancel.    About that same time, my room-mate had a melt down.

He was throwing up, having bowel issues, nosebleeds, stomach cramps, chills, and the shakes.     He was in no condition to go anywhere – so, I stayed and looked after him all day.

His siblings, incidentally, were all at a football game.

I also worked on my Halloween costume and pretty much finished it up.   Which is way early for me, but it was a good way to pass the day.  I’m hoping to get a pumpkin or two tomorrow and carve those.  Maybe a little cider too.

As productive as I was, I still feel like I wasted the day.  That’s what I get for planning, I guess.
