I woke up this morning to find my university was closed - a combination of icy conditions and a freaky campus alert. I had momentary thoughts that it was a joke but no: they moved Monday's finals to Friday. (I'm guessing that there will be some scrambling from poor souls who thought they were finished before friday and had travel plans or b. also already had finals on Friday.)

Maybe it's a good thing I'm not at work today - check out my Chinese horoscope:
The energy and boldness of the Tiger day make for a frustrating workday for the slow and traditional Ox. Your impatience and moodiness may scare off potential mates. It's best not to be overly protective of your children, or they may end up rebelling. The Earth element makes you lean toward smothering your loved ones.

It was very icy -- though not as horrendously icy as sumi's commute -- and I had to wait for my car to de-ice rather than get out and scrape it off because I was pretty sure I'd not be able to keep upright while doing so.

As with so many other things about the new place, I am on standby assembling my sofa until I can find a replacement barrel nut for the one World Market slighted me (the box and the little baggie of hardware had been opened). Though I may resort to gluing a dowel instead of using the intended screw if I can't find one in the next few days.
Connie, I think you may have gotten the allen wrench that was supposed to come with mine. (Luckily I have a Swiss Army allen wrench among my tools).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have way too much shit to do to be at work today. Or, to do any work today. I have to go to the bank and the post office, have a training from 11-12, and leave here by 12:45.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's okay for me to go back to sleep for a little while, right? Even though I missed three days last week--the end of this week (including Saturday) are going to be the biggest days of my job yet.
But it still hurts.

Yes! Go back to sleep.

Sleep is gooood.
I went to the post office, where there was a crazy line for the windows, but only one person ahead of me at the machine. I almost had a heart attack, though, when she put the first of her many many internationally-addressed cards down on the scale. Luckily, she did the rest in groups.
