Nice napping to Cass. May it be a peaceful time for you and your family in the desert.

Go Fay!! Not gaining weight over the holidays is quite good. I selfishly like the notion of Caracas because inexpensive direct flights available to and from Miami.

Fay, 2 stone is awesome. And Caracas? Closer to here, and thus very very excellent. Though it makes me sad to think of you no longer living with your most excellent flatmate.

Has anything else come to light WRT the school letting you go? I'm still slightly agape on your behalf over that; it's right up there with Daniel's situation as the most OMGWTF so extremely unjust and irrational and stupid! firing I've ever heard of.

{{{Cass}}} Please don't Marcie yourself.

To do today: Church, gelato with Emmett and my mom (her treat; her store got a huge box of used books donated from an unknown source several weeks ago, and when going through themy yesterday she found $60 tucked inside one book -- not that we're telling Emmett this, as he would no doubt consider it a point of honor to attempt to actually consume $60 worth of gelato), home again. Hopefully, this time not derailed by stoopid humans abandoning helpless kittens on th church doorstep.

Fay, woot! Go team you indeed!

{{{{{Cass}}}}} I'm so sorry about the IBS attack and the no sleep--especially when you had the memorial the next day. Hang in there, sweetie.

In meme news, I didn't fall asleep until 2:30 last night but am inexplicably wide awake now. Woke up just after 8 and can't seem to get back to sleep, but I'm far too gronky to use this time to be productive.

I'm hungry. Why is no one bringing me breakfast in bed? t /whine

she found $60 tucked inside one book

Woo! Nothing so fun as finding unexpected green folding stuff.

Hi Laura! How are you?

Hanging in there Kristin. My son is sick but is a surprisingly easy patient. I'm frustrated by my attempts to find a document I would have created last May. Lazy sitting watching news.

I was supposed to place an ad for a salesperson yesterday so it would be floating out there over the weekend, but I am spending way more time looking for the wording I wrote last time than I would spend writing it from scratch. Why is it so often that attempts to save time often take more time than the task would have taken if one hadn't tried to save time?

How's the new crib?

OMG, Bless Google. I found a cached jobs page from the company web site with my wording. Yay!

Oof. Sorry about the sickee.

Why is it so often that attempts to save time often take more time than the task would have taken if one hadn't tried to save time?

Oh yes. I know this well. I live there most of the time.

How's the new crib?

Good if I could finish settling in. I got about 75% done and then got really busy with work. My goal is to get it cleaned up this week.

Timelies!

So, in quilting progress, the quilt top now has one border, and I'm about to sew on the main border. Then, this afternoon, I'm going to treat myself to a train ride out to the quilt shop (it's across the street from the train station, so I really can't justify taking out a zipcar) where I'll buy the backing fabric, batting, and some more thread (I've gone through A LOT of thread with this one!).

I'm feeling all accomplished.

OH! And I'm going to do school reading on the train, so it'll be killing two birds with one stone. Go me!
