Beth - a straw is your best friend right now.

On Tuesday, I was trying to figure out what they'd changed in the 2 weeks I'd not gone to class. Then I realized that it was all the natural light streaming in through the windows. 6:30pm class really benefitted from DST.

Congrats to WeeSisterJay and Many Happy Returns of the Day to AmyLiz!

It's raining. I don't know why this should either bother or surprise me, but somehow, today, it does.

Also, the commas, they are all mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, the punctuation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

vw, you rock!

Happy Birthday, AmyLiz!!!

Olivia slept well last night and I got plenty of sleep, too. Owen's new bedtime routine includes about 5 or 6 readings of Good Night, Moon but at least he's going down awake in his crib, falling asleep on his own AND staying asleep until morning. Could be much worse.

Excellent! (I think I could still recite Goodnight Moon by heart, if I had to.) Are you all set for tomorrow? Is Christopher going to come with you?

Cindy, are you around? I had a dream last night that you and I were hanging out with Bill Clinton. No, really. It was taking place now, more or less (meaning, he had been president for 8 years, and was no longer pres.), and we were hanging out in, like, a Bennigan's, and drinking beer. I think we were in L.A. It wasn't like the *actual* L.A., but in the dream I knew it was L.A.

Oh, that is weird, but it's great weird. Can you remember what we were talking about? Not that it matters, I would totally hang out in a Bennigan's with you and the Big Dawg. Heck, I'd hang out in Denny's with you and the Big Dawg.

All your gronk are belong to me.

Epic, sweetie, you do know there's not a chance in hell of that being true, don't you?

Thank you, Perkins, for saying what I was too gronked to articulate.

Well, sure, I finally got a Pepsi (my caffeine delivery system of choice), so I had to release some of it back into the wild.

vw, hope you have a good, warm-tootsies sort of a day.

Fay, your sister's upcoming adventure sounds marvelous, as does your own. Your family created a pretty amazing pair.

Just had a mini-meeting with ImmediateSupervisor. Word finally came down from above to amend my Downright Insulting year-end raise. Still not as much as I would have liked, but at least some evidence of Respect and/or Appreciation. I'll still keep my eyes open for other opportunities, but at least I don't feel the miserable desperation to escape that I did up to now.

Actually, I believe the Big Dog was subtly trying to get me to amscray so he could hit on you.

No, really.

It's an OTP thing.

Are you all set for tomorrow? Is Christopher going to come with you?

No sitter. Christopher and I are going to do Paper, Rock, Scissors to determine who gets to go with Olivia.

If Plei is around later, how badly did the Mirena day suck? I'm going in for my own appointment tomorrow morning.

Yay for Fay's Sis! It sounds like a real adventure. (No one mention this to Lief.)

Not so bad after the first half-hour. Take an Advil first. The cramping went down to mild by that night, and was gone after a couple days.
