....or so you think....

Raises single eyebrow.

*sigh* If only I could do that in real life.

After all that talk about how tired I was last night and how I was going to go to bed on time and be properly rested?

I made the mistake of actually reading the notice from City Light about our landlord's unpaid bill (the bills and correspondence usually go straight to his house--we never see them--but I guess they sent a cc to us this time because we're the ones who'd be without power). This made me stress out about what would happen if we don't sort it out in time and our power gets shut off even though none of this is our fault. Which of course ties into my ongoing General Money Angst, which was already bad this week because of a banking glitch (again, completely Not Our Fault, but causing angst and hassle nonetheless--we're close to closing all our accounts with WaMu in a huff and taking our business to Wells Fargo).

So the result of all this was I lay awake until 2:00 a.m. At some point after finally falling asleep I dreamed that my bridezilla coated the floor of the sanctuary in glitter and confetti for her wedding, I had to vacuum all of it up, and the vacuum cleaner broke. Then I woke up at 6:00 because Annabel was briefly fussy. She went to sleep for another hour and a half, but I didn't.

But I've got this grant application to finish up and get out today, so caffeine has been imbibed, then I'm about to feed Annabel breakfast and get to work. I feel exhausted, my TMJ is acting up, and it feels like all the muscles of my shoulders, neck, and face are made of overstretched rubber bands.

General ~ma appreciated that we'll be able to sort out the City Light and WaMu hassles, that nothing else will go wrong and that maybe something good will happen soon, and that I'll get to catch up on sleep sometime soon.

{{Susan}} Poor dear. If I could come over and make you sleep for a while, I would. I hope the electricity thing isn't too much of a hassle to sort out.

I want to be in Ohio.

Seriously, I never thought I would say that. Yay for pictures! Wow! How many Buffistae do we have in Ohio at the moment?

ANyone know what "CAH" means in real estate listings?

And here I was going to say "Candy Apple Hot-rod", but I suppose that's a stretch for a rental.

Well, I thought maybe it was Bostonian for "car." Never mind.

I was thinking Frank was talking about Perkins' hair, and wondering how rentals came into it.

The brain, it is extremely fuzzy.

((((Susan))))

Job~ma for Kristin and unspecified~ma to vw. I don't think I've ever told you, and it may seem trite, but I'm so proud of how you're doing lately. It's an amazing difference from just a year ago.

Bank and light~ma to Susan. Can you take some time just for yourself over the weekend, without having to worry about writing, choir, errands, etc.? It sounds like you need to recharge your batteries.

Thanks, -t and Gud. I've been thinking about you guys lately as well. I hope things are getting better on all fronts.

Laura! Wish you were here!

How many Buffistae do we have in Ohio at the moment?

We had nine last night but we're down to eight (adults) now. At least until Tep gets here.

Let's see if I can do this right: sj, me, ginger, bev, deb, Sail, Deena (of course), Katerina Bee, and DebetEsse.

Still haven't left for the Safari Park yet. Ohio pollen is kicking my ass. These two things are not related.
