Best Laid Plans

[days_unfolding]

I had planned to drive to Jacksonville today to see my former colleagues. It's a longish drive from Bloomington: one hour and 20 minutes to Springfield, then 45 minutes to Jacksonville. However, I got something in my eye last night, and it's still bright red, sore, and oozing tears (yes, I look stunning -;)), so I decided that it would be wiser to not make the long drive. Oh well. There seems to be a jinx on my going over there; last time that I was free, they were interviewing someone for the position that replaced mine. (And it's been six months since they announced that change, and I think that they still haven't filled the position!)

Speaking of sore eyes, it hurts to look at the computer screen, so I should get off and do some unpacking.
