deadline stress. delivery day is always stressful, but yesterday people were just asking for too many other things for me and then the delivery mechanism broke so we missed our deadline.

Also becaus eof going to yoga (which is a good thing) my muscles are tired and sore (because I haven't been for so long) and so they are more apt to cramping and spasming and doing all the painful things they do.

Our bathroom is decidely unprivate. It's ok, I have years of repressed WASP to pull from.

Yay! Snow day!! (Well, snow half-day.)

I have a conundrum. Our offices are closed until noon, however, buses aren't running in the city until "mid-afternoon". I'm hoping that the gov't comes to its senses and cancels work for the whole day...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Unf. Missed deadline. Harder to wind down from those. I'm so sorry to hear you're suffering.

Today is going to be a long day for me, with lots of eyes on me. I need to make sure it doesn't get into my head.

Sadly, I can feel that the nerve block is losing effectiveness a bit. I wish there was a way I could train tomorrow, that I could train every day until it was gone.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I hear you, msbelle. Speaking as someone who woke up from aching in the middle of the night....

To a certain extent, yoga and other exercise helps reset my muscles and their aching, but the break-in period is a bitch cookie.

Heh. It is one of my Mom's favorite phrases, and so I have inherited it.

My student is coming for 3 hours today, and I have about 45 minutes' worth of work for him to do. I literally can't think of anything else he hasn't already done. He is way efficient.

I can just send him home and pay him anyway, but I always feel terrible when I do that. It's kind of wrecking my day right now. Stoopid guilt!

msbelle, I hope you feeli better soon.

I have a conundrum. Our offices are closed until noon, however, buses aren't running in the city until "mid-afternoon". I'm hoping that the gov't comes to its senses and cancels work for the whole day...

Could you work from home?

the gov't comes to its senses

HA! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! That's the funniest phrase you've ever said.

I hate to say it, but it's looking much clearer than an hour ago. I think we'll be sent back to work.

Lord. Watching last night's Daily Show and Charles Barkley. He started out with talking about how Brokeback Mountain turned him gay, and now he and Jon are riffing on why the Professor wasn't getting any on Gilligan's Island. Funny stuff.
