"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That sounds like an amazing trip sara.

Here's hoping Dana got moved and is now blissfully unconscious. That flight ordeal sounded almost as bad as Drew's travel nightmare right before the F2F.

Seems lots of people had morning adventures. At 5:30, Sylvester decided to jump on things in mac's room, one such thing being a poster that had fallen - that is some noisy crinkly paper noise. I think the cat's may be getting bitten which may explain the uptick in early morning noise that has been happening recently. I think the bites I was getting at 5:30 got turned into scratches because I flipped the sheet backa dn rolleed out of bed so fast - JUST EW! Board meets tonight, hopefully I can get an exterminator out early next week.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

Hah. I got a Nigerian (well, Ghanian)419 scam...on a leather-oriented community website I'm a participant in.

Probably the most entertaining email I've ever gotten there, too. Pity.

Deck Demo is awesome! how much longer are your parents staying in B-more?

We're up early today. And I was asleep later than I'd like yesterday. We have to go to TK to do more respiratory care training.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Today is "get CJ ready for school" day. He gets to pick up his schedule this afternoon and they are doing school pictures. So the boy gets a haircut. And from now until school starts, he is going to have to start going to sleep earlier and waking up earlier.

At his elementary school, the bus picked him up at 8:20 and brought him home at 4:20. Now, for middle school there is no bus, the school is about a mile away. School hours are 7:30 - 2:45. Looks like he and I will be leaving the house at the same time in the mornings. Oy.

Yay deck demo! How long until you have to go back to work? DO NOT ANSWER WORK EMAILS!!

One of the good things about mac being in the summer program that he is, is that start and end times are almost exactly the same as school. He only gets 15 extra min in the morning now than when reg school starts back. I do need to find his school supply list though and make sure I get everything soon - I probably need to get it all sealed in plastic so it will have a good month in there.

Coding and Sleeping

I have revamped my blog and added a section on how my first chapter is evolving from rough draft to its current partially revised state. I don't know how interesting that is, but it's been a interesting process for me.

My parents think they are here until Sunday afternoon. I thought it was Saturday night, but whatever. They'll at least get to see part of the deck.

I'm feeling a little nuts since I'm juggling the balls of unpacking, paying bills, tracking down other stuff, deck demo, contacting the electrician, parents want to shop, I want a drink, email I am pointedly ignoring... all on 4 hours of sleep last night for a total of maybe 12 in the past 60+. No, really. I figured it out. 3 hours in the 24 before leaving, 5 hours in Doha, no sleep on plane (total of 30 hours travel) plus the last 12.

I'm not sure how I am not insane.

eta: no work until monday, thank god.

Can parents go shopping without you?

I really need to get as much done as possible before 11, but am supremely unmotivated.


sarameg - Jul 30, 2009 5:07:20 am PDT #1321 of 30001

Point is to shop for me with me, so no.
