Susan, I might be the opposite of you in terms of flying fear. I do ok as long as I simply do not think about the mechanics of what the plane is doing. But for that brief moment when I'm stepping from the accordian-tunnel-gate thingy into the plane, and I can see the metal shell of the machine that will be keeping me from falling out of the sky - the sight of that just freaks me right the f*** out. And then I'm inside the giant magic bus, and I'm fine. Until I have to step through and look at the skin of the beast again.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Someone is sneaking extra days into the week, and I don't like it.
completely true. and yet - still not enough time to finish Christmas shopping or get the rest of the trimmings up. way to purchase, then not use, things that are going to go in the trash in 2 weeks!

I woke up this morning convinced it was Friday. I still have to keep reminding my self that no, it is Thursday.
Strangely enough, the fact that it is Thursday is a relief, given the amount of work I have this week.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
It's Friday for me. I'm burning off PTO before I lose it at the end of the year, so I'm off tomorrow and Monday. The sad part is, I have so many things I have to get done, I'll be busier than if I were at work.

Has anyone bought one of those lapdesks that are a beanbag with a white board on one side, and if so, where?

I took the night off from school because of headache. I've got one this morning, so I'm all in a Life Sucks sort of mood right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am incredibly tired and have neither milk nor anything to eat for breakfast in the house. I guess I'd better get going to somewhere which will sell me breakfast and then to work. Meh.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I am the opposite of Jesse this morning. Not only am I doing my laundry before I go to work, when I discovered I was out of detergent, I went out and bought some!

Tom, that involves a level of awakedness in the morning that I find terrifying.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The past couple of mornings I have pulled the load from the dryer into a basket, transferred the load from the washer to the dryer, and started a new load all before walking out the door. With everything else, it's been the only way a decent amount of laundry has been done and we're all wearing clean knickers.
And in yummy news, we have cinnamon rolls for breakfast!!
