lol i said productive

 yup, last night was the exact opposite of productive - i couldn't even manage two pages of reading to mr smear before i had to say goodnight and crawl into my bed, but i did get a fairly decent night's sleep.

oh! i woke up on sunday morning from a disturbing dream: wartime, off to the front of a far east war, had to jump off the train to get a woman and her kid to safety and drop mr smear off with a stranger before racing to catch the train at its next stop.

my neck's been wrecked - not nerve pain, just really stiff, kinda stuck in a bad position, for days now.

i got up just before my alarm this morning and went straight to work, thinking i could knock off early and take mr smear somewhere fun in the afternoon. not only did i get trapped until 3pm, but he's come down with a cold and when i got home he told me that he'd like to play a game with me but he really wants to play minecraft (which i can't play, gives me motion sickness). so i ended up working instead.

my biggest achievement today was managing to postpone the dreaded presentation i hadn't started preparing, instead i'll be giving a talk on testing tomorrow. i still needed a couple of hours to put the presentation slides together.

we watched zootopia this evening, for the first time. it's an awesome film in spite of it being sandwiched between two renditions of a really crap song.
