Wasted Day

I woke up this morning to some very familiar feelings of nausea.

Food poisoning.

I immediately went back to bed.

I woke up about 4 hours later to email work that I’d be out before I went straight back to bed.

Another 3 hours later, I got up and  took a shower since I was sweating a lot while I was sleeping.  I made some tea, but only drank half of it and went back to bed.

I woke up again about 4 hours later and made some toast and finished my tea.  Back to bed.

Got up again 2 hours later and seem to have shaken off most of the effects, though I do have a bit of a headache.

I tossed the foods that I ate the night before, though I suspect it was the milk, which expires tomorrow, but it had a faint odd smell, but tasted okay with cereal.  Never again.

Currently eating dry toast and tea.

As a result of this, I got a ticket on my car for street cleaning violation, and 3 packages (game stuff, camera accessory, Kickstarter reward) that I was expecting at work have been delivered, but I’ll wait until Monday to get them.

Wasted day.  Though in my semi-sleepy state I had the TV on to the Giants game, though I missed Bumgarner breaking his hand, and there’s a James Bond marathon on MGMHD channel.

Flash!

I’m not sure if I’d continue to use my camera often enough to justify getting a flash for it, let alone that new Auto Intelligent bounce model that comes out soon.

Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI

$399.99.  Flashes aren’t cheap.  Neither are lenses, but I got more use out of the two extra lenses I have than I think I would from a flash, either this one or one with less bells and whistles.

And how often do I do portrait photography, anyways?

Ah well, maybe I should get back into taking candids/pictures in general, and then decide if I want to invest in new gear.  I hardly use my monopod, for example.

As I tell people, I take pictures.  I’m not a photographer.
