Woe to the fucking wicked.

You sure? I bet I could find soemthing to give you a good 20 minutes.

I'm up to 15 pages. Just 3 more. And then find someone to read it, and make sure it's not in ancient monkey language. I don't think the prof speaks Ancient Simian.

What is even happening?

Thank you. I bet you could find me something to give me 20 minutes, but I always find waking up so difficult, that if I do it much after 4 or 4:30 by accident, I just stay up, and enjoy my coffee and intertubes in the quite of the house. I think I just heard someone stir upstairs, anyhow.

I have been up and *working* thanks to the joys of remote desktop access. And have a quiet wiggly boy and a cup of tea. But I think the next step is a shower.

Gooooooooooood morning. Hi flea! I'm glad your wiggly boy is doing well.

I had a sausage roll for breakfast. Here, it's kind of like eating a hot dog wrapped in filo dough: kind of disgusting, but still somehow appetizing.

Morning, SA. Normally, the sausage roll would sound interesting, but, today, anything even slightly greasy just sounds nauseous-making.

(2 pages. Actually, likely 1 page and a couple/few more references.)

Mmm. I wouldn't reccomend it myself, but since I'd already had toast with jam but still wanted something from the little French bistro on my way to the bus stop, I took whatever savoury item I could get.

What are you writing? I'm sure I know but I've forgotten. And did you take the Colorado teaching gig?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

dear arm,

OUCH!

spitefully me.

Note to self: typhoid shot to be avoided in future.

also, food may not be an option today. I suspect the yellow fever shot for this. STUPID diseases.

msbelle, you poor woman. I hope these symptoms pass quickly.

Still, I'd go with nausea today than yellow fever in a month. Personally speaking.

Morning Cindy!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

SA, I did take the teaching gig. I'm finishing up my Masters stuff, 2 papers. I need another source or two, and I'm to minimum page limit. It needs to get sent out today. I think I'll likely be doing a fair bit of staring uncomprehendingly at my students or snarking the Hell out of them today, even if I try not to.

People need to stop feeling (physically) bad. Particularly people I know. Hopefully it will get better sooner rather than later.
