Laundry is dry and folded. I will put away and make the bed in a while. First, rest. Or something.

Aimée, my guess is that your first visit will be more consult than training. You might consider going to get all of that out of the way, so when you feel better you'll have a training session that is all workout.

{{vw}} You've had to deal with an awful lot the past few days, so, yes -- get some rest.

Hey, all. Just a quick drive by to thank JZ for sending Iron Giant! What a nice surprise to find in my mailbox. I figured out why I've been so draggy for the last two days -- PMS. I started my period today a couple of days early and all of a sudden have all this energy.

Does it happen like that for other women? PMS hits hard for me -- tired, really depressed and very cravy. The first day is like energy central, and then my second or third day is NiagraPAINPAINACHE. Then I'm fine.

It's just so cool to have met you and dined with you and have a face and a voice to go with your words whenever you post now!

My 10th HS reunion blew big chunks. The reunions for the arts program would probably be more interesting, but the arts program is surviving on a shoestring and has no money for any kind of alumni/ae activities; one semi-enterprising graduate tried to get something going using Classmates.com as a conduit, but that effort limped to a slow painful death a couple of years ago and nobody's tried to revive it since. I shed no tears.

vw, I totally forbid you to beat yourself up. You're doing great, getting stellar grades, blowing past the incompletes, and generally being super-responsible and successful and the kind of student every professor longs for (as, IIRC, at least one has actually said to you, in something close to those very words). You had an allergic reaction, had an emergency trip to the doctor's, and only expended 90% effort instead of your usual 287% in trying to track down your Deliverance prof for the assignment. I forbid you to fritter away another moment thinking about it.

Seriously. Go cuddle the cutest pets in the universe and make yourself some cocoa and put down the beating-you-up stick before someone wrests it from you and tries to cluestick you with it.

Getting to meet buffistas was the highlight of that trip. I'm looking forward to heading south again!

Hee! Speaking of those cutest pets...one of them really wants a walk. Oh, and I'm not beating myself up anymore. I just have a lot that I still need to do today. It'll get done, though.

Laura, -t, and Cashmere have new tags. Are Blue's Clues really getting harder? How amusing.

Anyone want a couple of really cute pets?

I have two in the room with me, but I could stand to see two more.

Crossing fingers toes and arms and legs for the safe arrival of PTB.
