I'm designing WORKSHEETS.

Before DAWN.

I have become a pod person.

OTOH, Deb looks freakin' amazing in those pix!

I can only get the page with the thumbnails. My PC has been acting funny with java based stuff, lately. I can't use TVGuide.com. Some java stuff is fine. Some things, like the slide show, just won't work.

The pictures are lovely. Deb, are you finding the haircut easy to maintain?

Was it Nova that said the iPod broke? NOoooooo! No iPod's breaking! I decree! That really sucks.

I have LOTS to do today. Mainly, I need to write one of my papers for my incomplete. Because of that, I expect much whining. So, I apologize in advance.

My friend who is in the hospital is in stable (but still very serious) condition. They've upgraded his chances of survival from 20% to 50%, which is *very* good news.

Oh, I'm so happy! May he continue to improve. continued ~ma to them and to you.

Also, lending support to JZ's expression. Hope it unknots your stomach some...

I have a stupid sinus headache. I am so freaking sick of being sick all the time.

Also, I have decided not to take a grad school class this semester, to wait till September (if I get in to the program). It's just going to be too insane at work this spring, and I'd rather start my academic career, and get into the groove of it, when it's a bit quieter here. When it gets crazy next spring, I'll already have gotten a taste of acedemia and worked out logistical stuff, and figured out some study habits and stuff.

Am I a quitting quitter that always quits? I'm just not ready this semester. Also, job responsibility is on the increase, due to promotion and upcoing calendar of insanity.

Yay Jilli's friend! That is fantastic news.

(I didn't realise JZ's hair had gone so short!)

Oh, my, yes. This. It must be easy to take care of, is what I think.

Am I a quitting quitter that always quits? I'm just not ready this semester.

Hey, if you're not ready, you're not ready. It's okay. A) Job is good, it makes you money so you can pay for school. B) Starting school in September is more intuitive, and everyone else will be starting at the same time as you, so it will feel more like the beginning it really is.

I'm hungry. I need breakfast. God, ever since I started eating breakfast, my stomach's begun to expect it.

Nora, you are not a quitting quitter, you're planning long-term and that's good. Don't rush it.

Yay for Jilli's friend and more ~ma for him.

Erin, it'll wear off. You won't be a pod person forever.

Timelies. I woke up with a sinus headache and right with Nora in the tired of being sick corner.

God, ever since I started eating breakfast, my stomach's begun to expect it.

Yeah, that's the bitch of it.

The worse of winter is over for me. There's actual pink over the eastern mountains when I come in to work, and southeastern faces of the mountians are showing alpenglow. Yes, it's still dark, but it's pre-dawn dark, not "normal people are still asleep, it's the middle of the night, you idiot" dark. There is natural ambient light instead of just streetlights.

It'll be bone-achingly cold for another month and a half, but dammit I'll have light.
