Susan, never underestimate the power of duck nibbles. A lot of small things all in a row are harder to deal with than a few bigger bars with breaks. Ducks will wear you out.
I hope today is better. It didn't get off to the best start when Annabel woke up at 4:30 and climbed into bed with us, then kicked and squirmed until we evicted her to her own bed at 5:15--at which point she fell instantly back asleep, leaving US wide awake. So, despite being a good girl and going to bed before midnight, I'm running on 5 hours of sleep or less. Between that and the amount of crying I did last night, my eyelids feel like they're made of sandpaper. And tonight, I really want to do what got knocked off my list by the shoe shopping and crying last night--namely write and do some housework. Normally Wednesday is the night I don't expect much from myself in those areas because of choir rehearsal, but I can't miss two nights in a row.
But, on the plus side, my feet are completely dry. So maybe my day will get better.
argh. can't figure out what I want for lunch. I'm hungry, but I don't know what I want. and if I figure it out later, my brain will want it, even though my stomach is full

So much this. I'm sorry you had such a tough day, Susan.
ooh I forgot the fun thing. I was telling Mom that I did something very out of character by going to a bar alone to celebrate New Years and I thought it would be a hoot to keep doing things that are out of character for me this year. I mentioned that I'd often thought about doing stand-up but that I think I am at my funniest when I'm with her, so I asked if she would do it with me and she said yes! Now we just have to find a comedy club that has open-mic night that's
not
in Downtown Los Angeles.
Squee! Happy family news! I just found out that my "little" cousin (she'll be 17 in the spring and is a junior in HS) is going to be able to graduate a year early, this May! Holy crap! And she's getting into a full scholarship program at Northern Arizona University, so no tuition or room/board because of her high GPA. After two years, she'll be able to transfer to the college of her dreams, wherever that may be.
I am SO PROUD! She's as close as I have to a little sister.
Excellent news, Kristin! Congratulate her for me. An ex-bf went to school at NAU. It was a kinda nifty school. Except for that freakish white stuff they kept around all winter.
Thanks! I'm positively giddy for her. We spent a fair amount of time talking about how done she was with high school when I was in AZ over Christmas, and I think our talk is partly the reason she pursued other options. Such a proud cousin!
Woot, woot Kristin - that is wonderful.
This thing where I can't get to sleep at night, therefore can't drag my ass out of bed the next morning? Blows. Got a dance class tonight, hopefully I'll wear myself out enough to crash.
This is me nearly every day.
Congrats to your cousin, Kristin!
