Why is it that when I can't sleep all night, I am always asleep when my alarm goes off? It's so unfair.

Poor Nonian! I'm sorry.

I didn't sleep all night, but I think it's mostly because my poor puppy dog puked a couple of times during the night. Otherwise, I may have slept all the way through.

I hate those nights - I'm always worried about my puppies and you know they aren't feeling well.

I hate having a cold - I'm sure that's why I didn't sleep well.

eta: BTW, I meant to tell you yesterday how much I enjoyed your paper. Can't wait to see what else comes of it.

Oh, thank you so much, Nonian! I'm glad people are enjoying it. Of course, I still have this image in my head of people talking about it backchannel, but that's pretty much gone away. And, even if that's the case, I did my best with it, and that's all I can really do right now.

I'm sorry about the cold I hope you start feeling better.

I think I may make Toto some rice to eat for breakfast. He'll kind of like that. It'll be like a treat, plus it'll help settle whatever's going on with his tummy.

I am headed out to shovel snow.

I've called the temp agency and told them I'm available to work again. Hopefully, they'll come up with something to keep be paid and occupied between now and the time I move.

My interview with the career counselor went very, very well. I'll post more about it later, when I'm feeling more awake and more wordy.

Poor Anne with the snow shoveling. I'm so thankful I don't have to do that!

Fabulous!

Also good news.

I'm looking at graduate programs this morning. I know it's a bit of wishful thinking, but still...it's fun! Harvard and BUSM both have what I'm interested in. Of course, both hard schools to get into, but...a girl can dream, right?

I'm still waiting for word from Boston College. I have a bad feeling that I didn't get accepted.

When did you send everything in Nora? It does still seem kind of early for the decisions to be made, but I haven't applied to a college like that in a while, so I could be talking out of my ass.

Jan 1 deadline. The timeframe for notification is by April 1, but the admissions person indicated that it's generally earlier than that.

God, I am in a piss poor mood right now. OK, no more procrastinating to get coffee!

You could come join us at UMass, and we'd have a Buffista quorum.

And somehow manage never to run into each other.
