My arches! The inserts do nothing!

I had an early day planned today. I awoke this morning 35 minutes ahead of even that schedule due to chaos and fire erupting on a Big Important database server.

I tackled the problem and had just enough time to stretch out on my bed for literally about fifteen seconds before I had to get up, shower, and start my day.

I'd murder my dog to have gotten another two hours of shuteye last night. Hell, I'd murder your dog; I don't own one.

I then went to my podiatrist where he gave me my elite new shoe inserts to improve lower back pain and posture. Combined with my new fillings from last week, I realize that it really is going to be The Future Soon.

I was strongly encouraged to wear the new orthotics for an hour today. I sailed into hour four before I decided my balls needed a break. Seriously, they're in agony. Now I've got my sneakers off and I'm chowing down on my new typical lunch fare: salad and chowder whilst stocking-footed and trying to do some Perl Fu. It's pouring rain outside, so I opted to cover my salad with a second plate. I guess I actually used my brain today.

If I were a kitty right now, my ears would be flat against my head. My only solace is that there may perhaps be some Mario Kart tonight to soothe my troubled brow.
