In the middle of his praying, he gets a call on his cell phone. Without missing a beat in his prayer, he pulls the phone out of his breast pocket just to see who's calling, (presumably) sends the call to voice mail, and pops the phone back into his pocket.
Yes, Sean, that does sound like my people.
On the other hand, I can also answer the phone while standing in a packed bus with bags all over me. It's the "someone may need me!" factor.
Sick Bitches, I hope you are alright.
It was great waking up this morning to Laga's posts. I'm glad my first-ever-Christmas-present arrived, and arrived and received well!
I've been clomping around in snow and ice and have failed to hurt myself in any substantial way!
Sick Bitches, I hope you are alright.
Oh, right. Well, it's morning here...
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I feel all accomplished! My sense of self-preservation has kinked into action.
[edit: oh, bloody fucking hell. KICKED into action, kicked.]
I know that feeling... NSM, actually, so I understand.

Peaceful-passing and/or just that little bit more strength to complete that science writing~ma for Shir's great uncle.
I'm tired. I dragged all over town running errands with a resident, wearing my boots which are not comfy at all, even with arch support inserts, and then tried to dig out the group home's mailbox from having been plowed in far too deep for the postal carrier to get to it. I made some progress there, but they have such a flimsy little shovel, and the snow was packed so hard, I doubt I did enough.
Also, I have come to the conclusion that flaky house manager sincerely, truly, deeply believes that nagging and lecturing is the best, most appropriate, most effective way to change other people's behavior. So much so, that she is convinced that when I give a simple prompt and then praise them for following the prompt, I am doing *nothing* remotely useful. In the past, I have threatened to deal with her behavior the way I deal with the residents' behavior. Maybe it is time to follow through on that.

Oh GREAT. Now you're going to DIE.
Have you never seen a horror movie?
