Safety~ma for Jessica's in-laws.

Belated Happy Birthdays to Theodosia and Jesse.

Had a scare with Teddy. He vomited Tuesday evening and again in the middle of the night between Tuesday and Wednesday. Hubs and I both stayed home yesterday to keep an eye on him. Luckily, his regular weekly bloodwork had already been scheduled for last night.

He's acting okay, so we're hoping it was just a scare. But we're nervously awaiting the results of that bloodwork.

It isn't easy getting veterinarian help first thing in the morning on the day after Christmas....

Arrrrgh. My father just called and they sent my phone this morning. I called at 5pm yesterday to say I had forgotten it! They could have sent it last night!

It's fine, really. Just argh.

Parents Just Don't Understand, Jesse.

I was hoping to work for at least a few more hours before going home sick today, but I don't think I'm going to make it.

Parents Just Don't Understand, Jesse.

True, true.

I just realized that the work I have to get done this week mostly has to wait until tomorrow. So I've done most of what I can for the day today. Now all I can do is sit here and try not to eat all the candy on my desk!

Go home, shrift!

I have a Bad Evil Cold, but am at work, because end of the year is a busy time in the land of HR. I felt so bad when I got home yesterday that I went to bed at 8 and slept until 6 this morning. That helped.

I am actually doing work. shocking.

well I am also doing personal stuff.

A Week in the Life of Benazir Bhutto

In a series of "Diary" entries published in 1997 and reproduced below, the Pakistani opposition leader describes giving impassioned political speeches and buying McDonald's ice cream sundaes for her children.

Damn. She was awesome.

edit to fix link.

I'm gonna try to make it another 45 minutes, and then I think I'll crawl home and go back to bed.

Your link is blank, tommy.

I've emailed in late this morning. Have an unavoidable afternoon of meetings, so this is the way up it has to be.
