Barely awake. Don't wanna go to work.

I concur with Anne.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm with Anne and Teppy. Of course, I already am at work, but still. Don't wanna.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Leeds University department FAIL. Tomorrow is the official end-date of my course. I have a two-month extension on my dissertation, so they were supposed to re-enrol me. It looks as though they did not, although they claim they did, because the library is demanding all my books back Right Now. Handy, when I'm four hours away. No one seems to know what's going on, and I'm trying to deal with it over e-mail because I am way too anxious for phones today. Oh and the library also gave me a £37 fine during the time I was too ill to ring and renew my books, when I had swine flu. They say I can bring in a sick note and they'll consider reducing the fine. I say, I'm four hours away! I get no reply. Bloody idiots.

Meanwhile, my local evening course sent me some details on how to get to them, and I'm not sure (from looking at the map provided) that the venue is wheelchair-accessible. That's going to be interesting. I've left that in the hands of a rather more proactive-sounding disability services dept than the one at Leeds.

I had decided I wasn't going to watch House or How I Met Your Mother until this evening, when I'd done some work, but I think I'll give in and have an extremely lazy afternoon.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, argh, Seska. That's infuriating.

Re the library and the swine flu, can you call the office of the doctor you saw and have them fax a note to the library? As a doctor's office admin, I love doing this kind of stuff--it doesn't take long and it's actually measurably useful to someone, the kind of thing an admin doesn't always get to do.

And I'm so sorry about your little guy. Four years is a very long hearty life for a hamster; he could never have lived so long if you hadn't loved him dearly and done a splendid job of caring for him.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Seska, so frustrating. Good luck straigtening things out.

Today is TCG's birthday. I need to get on the brownie baking and present wrapping before he gets home.

I was trying to figure out how to phrase this sentiment, and JZ did it for me!

Aww, I just read Emmett's essay about Matilda, and I'm all sniffly.

Our wings are not tired.

{{Fred}} I'm sorry that things are so rough with Rigatoni.

I just read Emmett's essay in COMM. Awww, kid does a great job expressing himself.

I don't know when or if the boys will be close. Right now, not so much. I try and remind myself that I was not at all close to my sisters growing up and now we have great times together. I hope they get there.

Happy Birthday to TCG!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Emmett's school essay about Matilda.

::sniff:: ::sniff::

That's a fabulous kid you, JZ, and EM have there.
