ION, have we noticed the beach volleyball PA? Playing soundbites straight out of America! I thought it was for team USA. But nope. Watching a match with non-USA folk, and still same sound bites. Hmmm. Curious.

And such weird choices of sound bites, too! I noticed "Uptown Girl" and "Livin' On A Prayer." During the synchronized diving, they were playing "Dancing Queen."

I remember watching my older sister playing volleyball during championship matches and wondering how they could concentrate with all the cheering and calling out of players' names, and then I played myself (never in crowds as loud, but...), and I realized that I just didn't really hear it. But, you know, not the same as loud music, crowds of thousands, and at the Olympics, so.

No really, I'm drafting. I swear.

Uh-huh. And I'm cleaning my kitchen and living room. See how it sparkles?!

Ya! Very strange. Glad I'm not the only one noticing these things.

I'm on break.

It is after 10.Today was experiment day and we put in over a 2' width of flooring with Dh hand nailing everything, I was the human floor jack. We hurt. thank god for friends that cooked for us...

dead

or close

so every one sleep for us, because 8 hours isn't going to do it

holy cow, the zombie of my ex was here at the theatre tonight. He had the same face only gaunt, the same hair only sparse and wild and the same gait only with a slight shamble. It was freaky but also kinda cool to imagine it was really him.

It is too early to be up. Back to school for teachers today. Kids start next Monday. I'm really hoping today isn't too awful; however, with Draconian Dictator in charge of the day, I'm not holding my breath.

Have a good first day back, GG!

I took the ativan last night before bed and slept slighly better.

Jars sighting! I’m so sorry I missed you guys. I was seriously bummed. At least I saw you last trip!

Owen would say, "Now we're going to San Prancisco to see Mommy!" Ooof.

Oh, that’s a punch in even my gut!

I took the ativan last night before bed and slept slighly better.

Oh, good!

I’m drinking some coffee then getting right to work. I have MUCH school work to do over the next two weeks.

ARGH. Okay, so my mother, for reasons that are too long (and too fucking stupid) to go into, does not have a driver's license right now. Usually not a problem for her, since my dad doesn't have a problem driving her around. I refuse to deal with her bullshit, because she lets her driver's license lapse because she doesn't like to drive. Now, my dad recently had knee surgery, so can't drive.

Saturday, my dad calls and asks me to take my mother to the grocery store (have they never heard of peapod). So, I show up at 4:30, she has neglected to tell me that the place closes at 5. So, we arrange to go at 7AM. I'm about to leave the house when I notice that I have a message, which I did not when i went to bed. It's my mother, it's an emergency. Turns out that she's having some sort of tooth issue, so we can't go to the store. then, she tells me that she "needs" me to drive her to the dentist, which is 15 minutes from her house. Please note that I live 30 minutes away from her, and I have to drive in rush hour to get there. I am annoyed. Now, it's possible that she would have called me even if she'd had her driver's license, but I wouldn't have been so annoyed. (and, I will still have to drive her stupid ass to the grocery store at a later date)
