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.

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.

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.

I hope you start your new year at home, too, GC.

I'm at work today, but I'm hoping they'll let us out early. As it is, work's going further into a diminishing returns spiral with every minute I sit here.

Less than half an hour of work and I'm off until the 5th!!! Woot!!!

Meanwhile, I also slept like crap last night. I think that was mainly due to my shoulder. I'm not sure how I hurt it, but damn, it hurts to move it.

I hope they let you go home SOON, GC. The drugs are good too. But home, sometimes the best drug of all.

I had a bad night, but am feeling much better today.

We've changed our NYE gathering to a NYD gathering because we are going to be slammed with snow all day. The up side of this is I can just rest a little this morning. My back has decided it absolutely hates me today.

I'm supposed to be at work until 1 today, but I'm having a really hard time coming up with a reason to stay that long. It's not like I can't play sudoku on Facebook from home...

Loved the discussion yesterday (that I couldn't participate in because for once I was actually WORKING!) about arguments and styles and all that jazz...

I am quite tired of being told I can't possibly be excited because I am not jumping up and down and waving my arms

This. Because sure, just cause sometimes I'm fun and laughing and whatever doesn't mean that every time something is good I'm going to be "WHEEE!". I had a semi-friend who cleans houses come over and do my house. And she was all upset that after cleaning it I wasn't like, jumping for joy. And I'm thinking, "yep, it's clean. Cool." I also had a personal trainer who wanted me to be all enthused, too. I was like "...about the fact that I'm working out?? WTF?"

Though granted, I was once told by someone else "...you wouldn't date B. because he's got too many emotions, I'll bet" and I had to admit that was true.

I'm skipping tons to get hairpats. I had a 4" fibroid removed yesterday. Still in hospital but doing alright (thank you morphine).

Ouch, Glam!! You poor thing, may the morphine be your good friend!! I hope this helps other things?

I have too much to do today before a party tonight (ACK! how can there possibly be a party at my house tonight? I am NOT ready for that!!)
