I am literal;ly falling asleep at my desk! I can't do that. My killer show is opening tonight, we are not done, and I am at my regular job until 5:00 pm. I have actually nodded off three times while typing this!

Oh, thank god. My background check is finally complete. I'm not sure what I expected to go wrong, but I was certainly paranoid. Now all I'm waiting for is the precise when and where instructions for Monday morning.

Hey, Dana, do you start this Monday too? And quester? Not a bad morning for buffistas.

Opera spell-check suggests replacing buffistas with fabulists. How bad a typist would I have to be to be that wrong?

Can't see the picture at work, but will need to check it out at home.

Do cats get allergies?

Yes. Mine has them. But his manifest by licking the fur off his tummy and getting the occassional ear infection.

Oh my god, I think saturday's marathon is going to make getting out of the city a nightmare.

Probably. Especially since the Baltimore Comic-Con is this weekend. And then there's the Poe stuff.

I'd give a shiny nickle to anyone from the Baltimore Comic-con who ran the marathon as Poe's raven (with or without steampunk goggles).

Wow. That picture is really, really hard to look at. Damn.

WAKE UP SOPHIA!!

Can you at least call out sick from your job tomorrow and sleep?

Hey, Dana, do you start this Monday too?

I do, having finally signed the paperwork yesterday.

Yay for ita's job working out!!

I took Amarna into the vet this morning for a checkup and clawtrimming, and I wanted to get her weighed since it's been about 5 weeks since I changed her food. I know she's less bulky, so I was guessing she'd probably lost at least 1 to 2 pounds. Turns out it's only 1 ounce!! She's still at 13 lbs., 2 ounces. But, she's so much smaller, that the fat has to be converting into muscle. Here's hoping that she'll be smaller when I take her back for her next trimming in six weeks. The vet said she wanted to see Amarna at around 11 pounds eventually, and I really thought she'd be close to that already.

WAKE UP SOPHIA!!

Thanks!

Can you at least call out sick from your job tomorrow and sleep?

No, it is my boss' last day before vacation and we are really fragmented. I am not going to go to opening night, which is pretty lame, but I am pretty sure I would fall asleep during the performance, and since that has already happened to me once....

Getting out of town should be doable Saturday but you may have to go not your usual way. Up and around rather than straight through.

I'm sad I'm not participating in the marathon this year. Usually I do the 1/2 in my mostly walking half assed way. It's so fun (if painful). but my family from NC was going to be in town this weekend and I wasn't sure exactly when so I couldn't plan to marathon. They'll be here tomorrow though, mostly. We're going to the aquarium and I'm hoping getting downtown to get there tomorrow won't be a cluster. We do have tix reserved at least. Dolphin show!

JenP, I'm so behind here! But happy birthday and I'm happy to provide any help I can with the apartment search! The place east of MLK could be interesting. Lots going on down there. Sketchy neighborhoods pretty close by though. You might want to email me if you have more places to check out since I've been, like i said, so behind here. I'm only catching up today because i'm home trying to get over a stupid cold before my family descends tomorrow.
