(((GC)))

Shir, I cannot believe your life at the moment. Wishing you good things.

Sox, I'm glad for some good news around here. Yay!

GC, I hope you had some good healing rest and feel so much better this morning. Continued ~ma.

Shir, truce talks didn't look very promising this morning. Lots of peace~ma always.

Hil, talking to a group of adult mathy types has to be easier than talking to a group of students. You'll be great because they will be able to appreciate you.

I better get to the office. Why wasn't I born independently wealthy? I don't wanna put on outside clothes even if it is just shorts and t-shirt. DH had to run to one of our customer offices this morning for a crisis and decided not to change out of his fishing shirt and shorts. Really, if you have a tech crisis on a holiday you get me in play clothes.

Sox! Yay, good way to end the year!

That totally made me go, awww.

a full time position open up that I could grab

Andi, sweetie, I meant reassigning the trouble-maker. Not you! Let her go get bit by that resident. It would probably make her very happy with her drama-seeking ways.

Your house gets peace, she gets war stories...everybody wins!

My poor Bitches. What a year it's been for all of us. I'm very glad today marks the end of 2008. I will not say more until it's offiially over because this year has made me paranoid and superstitious.

Anyway. We didn't go to bed until far too late (I think it was 3:30 at least) and I basically have just tossed and turned for the past five hours. I dozed a bit on and off, but no real sleep. I see a nap in my future. I despise sleepless nights. It's funny how much we take our basic needs for granted sometimes, isn't it? Everything is so much harder when you haven't slept.

My mom and Gram have been in Passdena the past couple of days but are leaving this morning to drive to Tucson to visit with my aunt and uncle. Please wish them safe travel-ma. I'm worried about such a long drive on NYE, though they should be there long before the crazies come out.

Since I woke up to unexpected snow (not "unexpected" for Dec. 31; "unexpected" in that it was forecast to be butt-cold, though not snowy), I am shaking my (cold) fist at Laura and B. in their shorts.

Sox, great news!!!

I hate sleeping poorly (or not at all) on days off, when I can sleep later than usual. HATE. And especially on a day when you have plans for that night, and want to be actually awake and full of energy. Poor Pix.

I just hope I can go home today - with the good drugs.
