Theo is right, sara. You'll have a lot to do to make your house home, but try to remember that you have a lifetime to do it in. Give yourself permission to have the occasional evening or weekend off even if there is painting to be done and still boxes to be unpacked.
Excuse me? Who gave you permission to exist?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What they said about the settling in/unpacking, Sara.
Big Boss just came around and left bottles of hand sanitizer around the office.
A coworker of mine posted on Facebook that someone should text her if the office is closed because she has no internet access. Seriously??
Now I really have to snap into action, because I have a shitload to do today...and yet, I am not snapping.

Snap sanp Jesse.
My goal for the day is the small stack of invoices. I want them all entered and out for approval.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I already have three things I'm supposed to do as soon as possible this morning.

When I was growing up and complained about being sick with some vague symptoms, my mother always used to joke, "Maybe you have swine flu." It's not funny now, is it mom?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Songs that make me cry: Greg Brown's version of William Blake's "On Another's Sorrow," Cheryl Wheeler's "Arrow," and virtually any version ever of "No Woman No Cry." (Er, yes. Being tenderly told I don't need to cry sets me right off. Shut up.)
Swine flu update: My church is no longer doing wine at communion "until we know more about the flu."
I'm with everyone who wants bubble wrap and cabana boys attending ita, and if I had any money I'd kick something over in Paypal right now to make it happen.

I hope those requests came with coffee and a pastry, otherwise - get in line!

Because books.
ita, I hope you're hanging in there today. Actually, I hope you're still sleeping right now.
Songs guaranteed to make me cry: "Amazing Grace," and the first time I hear "Silent Night" every Christmas, as well as hearing the church choir sing it on Christmas Eve. Other than that, it's usually instrumental music -- oddly, I tear up at the end of Jurassic Park, when that gorgeous music wells up and they're watching the birds swoop over the water from the helicopter.
