Go us, ND!
I'm taking a little dinner break, then I'll work for another hour before I run over to meet a "client" (a dog I'm going to watch this weekend).
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I'm taking a little dinner breakCool, can you pass me some of that productivity then? House/packing is needing it... a LOT! What? me? stressing? no. It's just moving across the country. AAARGGGHH!
ION, a little "get approved"~ma would be appreciated. Finally faxing application to place #2. Should be fine, but want a speedy answer so I can start change of address crap.
Have I said I hate moving recently?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I approve of you, omnis_audis.

The status is NOT quo.
I approve of you, omnis_audis.I approve of you, too!
So last night I had a Kate P.! Woot! She came over and spent the night before catching a plane out to her next stop this morning. It was so good hanging out with her.
I got an email from payroll this morning saying that not ONLY do I have to fill out all those release forms and the tax forms...I also have to fill out the online application AGAIN because I apparently filled out the "master" form rather than the correct requisition. Um. I entered the correct requisition number, fuckos, WTF. That took me an hour last time. I'm really not feeling very motivated to do it again considering the crap you're paying me. You all will be proud of me, though. I did email my supervisor and expressed my (polite) frustration and asked if there was any room to negotiate my salary.
I also just found out that I get to tag along with ND on a Caribbean cruise he's working the first week of August. Our cost? $183. Um. Yes. Yes, please. Thank you, Universe, we needed a little good news this week. It won't be as much fun for him since I'm sure he's going to be working crazy hours, but at least we won't have another two weeks apart in the middle of all the stress and insanity.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
So last night I had a Kate P.!

Thrive to spite them
I have a kitty update.
The tests are back and she has an elevated (or depressed I can't remember now) thyroid. And there's medication they can give her BUT one test showed kidney problems and another didn't and the medication could cause kidney disease to get worse if she has it.
So I could get medication and go back and get more tests. But she's eating and drinking water and is alert so that's good.
But I have to decide. And right now, I'm just tired of decisions. And I have to think about moving. But I decided to wait until Monday and see how Anna does through the weekend. If the extra fatty food seems to be working for her and she's perky then I'll talk to the vet about what the best outcome is without any medicine.
Also I was going to the beach but I'm so stressed about Anna and my dryer is broken and I haven't done anythign about finding an apartment and I'd have to buy groceries and drive and then deal with my extended family. Most of whom were not at my cousin's funeral and all of them will ask after my aunt and my grandma and how I'm doing and I just... I realized I can't.
I need to go down to the beach becuase it's my oasis and my, well I'd say my Tara but that sounds kind of weird, but I take strength and peace from there and I need that. But I can't deal with all the noise and people.
Next weekend my aunt is going to go out of town so I'm goign to go stay with my grandma and maybe I'll go to the beach then.
And I can walk on the beach and sob and not as many people will be around.
I'm rambling, and now I'm stressing that my crappy credit will keep me from getting a good apartment.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Good grief! Where is everyone? So quiet in here today...
I've crazy getting ready for house guests for the holiday weekend. Liv and I dropped Owen off at school this morning, went to the farmers market for strawberries, carrots, aspargus and fresh cut wildflowers and then we went to the gym. I worked out and then we went to pick up Owen. Then we went to Target for a few things (hahahahaha!) and got lunch.
Came home and ate lunch, then our babysitter came over and I took a nap (because I was up until 4 a.m. last night and Owen got up at 7:30 so I was running on empty by the afternoon).
Tonight I have to strip the kids' beds and wash their comforters, fold some more towels and pick up meat at the butchers'.

Our wings are not tired
Okay, I think I have the overall estimate for Halloween put together. It is typed up and starting to look professional. Now I need to walk away from it for an hour or so and then come back and go through everything line by line and make sure I've accounted for all of my costs on this one.
