Dude! And it's not even 6am for you! 6am my time, I was not even awake enough to be annoyed.

True, but I have the option of going back to bed, or trying to at least.

is it wrong that I wish I could be sick for the rest of the week and sit around my new house loafing and watching TV?

No. I want to do that, and I don't even have a new house.

Landlord never showed up. Good! Now, I drink coffee and watch Family Guy while I do laundry.

Last night I went to LLBean and got a travel towel. Thus, I know where my towel is, and must clearly be ready.

Much ~ma to your family, askye. My great grandmother developed Alzheimer's after she'd been living in nursing homes for years, so we didn't have that drama to contend with (it was well extablished by then that she was happier and more independent at the home than she was living with my grandmother), but having your loved ones not remember you or other people is incredibly hard to deal with. I was lucky, she always knew me as someone she was happy to see if not as myself, but other family members were not so fortunate. I hope asshat uncle and any other non-helping relatives get smacked with a cluestick and do what's right.

Yay Annabel with the communication and Mariner recognizing!

So far from wrong it doesn't even know what wrong looks like anymore.

Lilty's totally a hoopy frood.

Nora should totally call in sick for the rest of the week. Sounds like a wonderful plan to me.

Poor meara with her sore throat! I hate that.

I need to get my butt in gear and get out of the house. I need to get to the hospital and meet with financial services about getting MassHealth. I'm dreading it, so I'm moving slowly. This is not really effective.

Your Red Sox love is so pure. A-Rod mockage is great sport in our home. You'd like it here.

Hee. We need to watch a game together sometime.

Had craptastic afternoon at work. Literally was yelling with coworker who is not really expendable to the company. But, damn, he is just a jack ass and I hit my limit.

{{{Cass}}}

{{{meara}}} I hope your throat feels better soon. Also, don't explode.

Sigh. All the Bath and Body Works I went to had left on close out was the Chocolate Fondue perfume, at least of the stuff I was looking for. So I got two bottles.

Plei, were you looking for something else? I could check the stores here for you.'

I hope today stops sucking for everyone soon.

Not wrong.

I can help you out with whatever you're looking for too, Plei. There's still lots of stuff out back that we pulled off the shelves.

Just like the sausage that had forged papers! [link]

Whee! I have had a good day. I had my first solo client meeting since getting back to Melbourne (all the other ones to now have had a more senior consultant along) and I rocked just a bit. Then I had Pilates after work and it was a much better session than last week's; my technique was more focused, and concentrating on it was actually rather soothing.

But best of all, one very attractive and sensitive woman I'd emailed wrote back! I first emailed her a couple of weeks ago, but at the time I hadn't really got my online presence sorted out, and I didn't get a response. Just for the hell of it I decided to try again, and sent her a follow-up with a bit more about myself. And she wrote back! I just sent her another email with yet more depth, and I think I offered to cook for her sometime as well. (Hopefully that won't scare her off.)

Oh, and I've updated my profile. I decided, after getting some professional advice, that it simply wasn't manly enough. Oh, and that I should be a little more specific on the person I'm looking for. Updated profile is here: [link]

Now I must go to bed, as I have a speed dating event tomorrow night and I find I'm at my best when awake. (Ok, that's not true. I'm just adorable asleep. How are the ladies supposed to concentrate?) I shall leave you with the news that the king cobra's scientific name is Ophiophagus hannah. hannah? And the world's largest spider, the goliath bird-eating spider, is called Therophosa blondi. BLONDI?!

aw, look how happy billytea is! awesome.

Go billytea with the date having and the profile updating! I'm not sure exactly what you changed in your profile, but it's very appealing.
