dust bunnies

jmc_bksY'know where I often forget to scrub when doing the weekly mop up? The little bit of tile behind the base of the toilet. Noticed a couple of dust bunnies last night while sitting on bathroom floor, head leaning on the edge of the tub, wishing I could just be finished with being ill so I could curl up in bed.
Had lunch with M yesterday, and by 3pm was feeling very, very bad. Barely made it home before the fireworks started; they lasted until ohmygod o'clock (at which time I noticed said dust bunnies). It was ugly. As a result, I took a sick day, sleeping until 10am. Made a quick trip to the drugstore, then returned to sit on the couch and drink mint tea while The Goofy Cat sat on my lap. No kneading please, my stomach is still feeling touchy.
Stopped by Borders (on my way back from the fun lunch that turned out to be not so fun). Had a 20% coupon, sent because I haven't been in awhile. Presumably sent to lure me into the store. It worked. I haven't been in a Borders store in awhile because my local store closed, and the next closest stores are all at malls I avoid whenever possible. There's a free-standing store off the Metro a few stops away from work, hence yesterday's stop. Yes, yes, I could shop at Borders.com...but I'm not impressed with the site. Everytime I've tried to order using the site, it has frozen or had problems, so I've ended up ordering elsewhere.
Also, yesterday Borders had the new Meljean Brook book, Demon Bound, out on shelves even though the street date isn't until Nov 4. They did not have the new JD Robb book Salvation in Death, though. There were multiple copies of the paperback release of Strangers in Death, which has an excerpt of Robb's February release, Promises in Death -- the intro says it is an excerpt of the "next" book, though. Accident?
Unrelated: the bit on The Daily Show the other day by Wyatt Cenac, saying please just let us vote and get it over with? Exactly how I feel. I'm exhausted by two years of campaigning. And demoralized by the ugliness and pettiness exhibited, sometimes by the candidates and sometimes by voters.
