Also less bleak? Gay Work Boyfriend brought in his grey poodle, Dorian, who is happily running from his desk to my desk to coworker's desk to other coworkers desk and back to Gay Work Boyfriend's desk (we have cubes that face each other and we've taken down the walls that seperate them so we can all talk), giving us all kisses.

Agh. I want to hug everyone. Vibing make-it-through-the-day~ma to ND and Kristin; and, damn, DJ, it's a horrible Monday when you're only a few hours in and the universe owes you and yours a do-over.

But I'm also smiling quiet office-appropriate smiles of happiness that connie and her sisters have reconnected, omnis got to hang out with DJ and go to a cool bar, and Erin has pretty teeth and a dimple.

I'd be perfectly happy with a Monday do-over--or, ideally, just a wayback machine with which to go back to the weekend. I instigated one major scheduling screw-up, which would be easily fixable if I could just go back to Saturday morning, and other than that the entire weekend was really lovely and full of spectacular humans.

So I need to Tivo the weekend and delete today. Can someone get right on that?

I didn't realize Mr. Jane took him to Balcony Club! That place was where Mr. Jane and I sorta decided to start dating. We'd hang out there drinking martinis and listening to a 9 fingered piano player named Big Al Dupree play old jazz tunes!

Argh. My best friend from high school is getting married in a few weeks. I hardly ever talk to her anymore, we've really lost touch. But I would love to go to her wedding. It's in Chicago. Flights are at least $350, if I take a red-eye and a day off work, and try to stay with a friend one night. I was like "OK, but I have frequent flier miles!" Only I don't have *quite* enough on Northwest, to do it, yet. And United will fly me there, but tells me there are no seats to fly me back until like, a week later. ARGH.

Guess I should just give in and pay ridiculous amounts. And then I start going "Well, if I'm paying $350, should I just pay $400 to go on the better times, or airline I like or whatever? And why does this airline want me to fly through SPOKANE???"

I am however glad the wedding is in Evanston and everything is close enough I don't need to rent a car, and I have hotel points so I can get a "free" room!!

So very, very tired today. I somehow managed to have insomnia last night even WITH a dose of Nyquil, getting maybe 4 hours of sleep in the end. I swear I feel twice as sleepy as I would have on this little sleep if I hadn't taken Nyquil, even though it has to be out of my system by now.

slow day in bitches today. Ok, quick rant. It's like 100f outside, but theater of new job is like 50f. I'm freezing my ass off!

Survived the memorial. It went well. Lots of long time family friends there.

Good to hear it Drew. I hope you can take care of yourself and get some rest tonight.

Ditto, Drew-- be good to yourself.

Glad it went well, Drew.

omnis, Mr. Jane would like your number to hang out sometime. I figured it would be fine, but I wanted to check and also get it again, since I seem to have deleted that email.
