Always Anti-fascist!

I'd put up with a lot of germs to get smoochies. And I hate being sick.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

but I don't think that the skipper-me knew about the boyfriend

That's because I mostly post in Bitches. He is the best guy ever. A mutual friend set us up, and we have been dating for just about five months now. He gave me a teacup on our second date, because he noticed I collected them, so we call him Teacup Guy on the board.

Not complaining about the smoochies. A cold or two is definitely worth it.

Teacup Guy

That's such an adorable name.

I'd put up with a lot of germs

A friend just called here to ask me to bring her something. I whined about not sleeping, and she whined about her baby (6 months old) waking her up a lot during the night. I said I'd much prefer to stay up for her reason, not mine. Which is not the same as what erika just said, I know, but it reminded me of that.

Hee. Poor Nilly.

If it helps, your reason is short term, and your sleep will happen sometime, while mommy sleep loss is a long-term change that leaves you a milky zombie for YEARS!

I'm doing OK! I mean it's 3:30 and I just got home from work, which is proof that I made the right decision, if you ask me.

Well, you talk to the girl who is working/studying pretty much 30 hours straight by now, so I wouldn't count on me for any rational judgment...

But it's not the usual schedule for me, far from it, and there are really good people here, I really like my PhD adviser, and it's nothing like the stress you describe. So, yeah, it definitely seems like you've made the right desicion. I imagine it still took a lot of courage - to leave the known and safe. I'm still with the "go, you!"

This is awesome, and I'm so happy for you.

Yes, I'm a little scared about what comes next, after the wedding, the honeymoon, my second hip surgery and recovery from same. But I'm not thinking about any of the "what's next" stuff right now. I'm too busy planning the wedding and the honeymoon, thankfully. I imagine that when it's all over I'll feel a little lost and panicky.
