Nice thing of the day: When I left for work, FiveThirtyEight.com gave McCain had a 6.5% chance of winning, and when I came home, it was only 3.7%
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Y'all, I know I've just had an emotionally long couple of weeks. I know I've spent most of that time worried or dealing with things that are fraught for me. I know I've been sick and not sleeping well on account of all of the above.
But I really need a break and oh god, I need everything to work and be well and get along for just a little while. I'd hoped to stay home one day this week and do...I dunno. Bawl my eyes out, sleep, go shopping, invest more in my 401(k). But everything conspired against me. And now I'm really wrung out and being overwrought over everything.
I'm tired of whining, and I'm tired of dealing. And it is all I can do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, I hope Dana had the ice cream, and I think sarameg needs more rooms....

Aw, noodle. Do you have plans for the weekend? It's almost here!

Sarameg needs more rooms and one month she doesn't break the bank or her mind.

Poor Sara. I hope you get a break soon.

It's duck nibbles with a couple of big honking wolf bites in there. This weekend, I'll ... clean. There may be a haircut (not by my regular stylist-drama! or, well, she out on mat leave) but beyond that...I need to do my TG planning. And it is sad that even that, at this point, feels like a burden. Because any other time, I'd be looking forward excitedly, but right now I can't see that. I just see phone calls and logistics.
Man, I need to shut up. I'm obnoxious to myself.

Loki just curled up on a sleeping Mister Kitty again. It's adorable.

sarameg, you've been dealing and sometimes, in some situations, it's the best and most you can do. Duck nibbles aren't so fun. So don't worry (also we are going to see you next month, right? I'm worried that I won't get my annual sarameg time).
I had dinner with Alibelle. All of you should be jay-lous!

I WILL be there. I just may throw a tantrum while making the reservations. But you don't need to worry about that;)
