So, Róisín survived the night, but she hasn't yet begun to respond to treatment. She's neither better nor worse. So we'll just have to see.

Oh, and another thing. I would like to request no more dreams about giant insectoid aliens taking over the planet, please. Facing human-sized cockroaches is not my idea of fun.

I don't know how I'm going to make it through work today. This weekend has been one of the worst in terms of sciatic pain I've had in quite awhile. I haven't had a good night's sleep in several days, and the pain just overwhelms my pain relievers, which I've been taking more frequently than I'm supposed to because I just can't stand it. Right now I'm sitting at the desk barely able to concentrate on anything other than riding out the pain, despite the fact that I took a pain pill half an hour ago. It's a good thing there aren't many patrons here on a Sunday.

Book #108 -- Paula Martinac, k. d. lang: Lives of Notable Gay Men and Lesbians, 128 pages.

A short biography of singer k. d. lang, the first major female recording artist to come out publicly as a lesbian. Decent, but very general.
