I'm in a bit of a life flail myself. Yesterday I treated it by going to a job search workshop, with only medium-successful results. SIGH.
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was gone five days. My husband ate all the cookies and chocolate in the house, and none of the actual FOOD.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It’s a Battlestar Galactica Cake. Happy Frakkin’ Birthday. - Geeky Cake of the Week
Laura hired chef Archana Rao at Love Street Cakes (”where cake dreams come true!”*) to craft this BSG cake for the birthday of Laura’s husband, a “big BSG fan” sadly-accustomed to verbal abuse on special occasions by way of made-up sci-fi curse words.
...
Rao covered a lemon cake with raspberry preserves and “(extra) vanilla frosting.” Because it is well-known that the skinjobs hate the taste of vanilla, and WE CAN’T HAVE ANY SKINJOBS EATING OUR FRAKKIN’ CAKE.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I just accepted to a 6:30pm meeting tonight.

Punishingly Intricate
That meeting better have cocktails!
msbelle, sorry today is hard. calming thoughts for you.
We always started school after Labor Day and went to June, including undergrad college. My b'day at the end of August always marked the last big fun Summer thing for me. The first time I had work on my birthday was a real shock to my system.
Am trying to be grateful for what I've got (which is A LOT, I'm very lucky) but I'm having a hard time not resenting boyfriend's job for bringing him back to the midwest for another almost full week next week after he was just there for whole full week. It's a great job and they've been very accommodating and I really shouldn't complain but WAH!

Hopefully this will make someone say, "OK, Hubble isn't ready to be written off yet, let's keep maintaining the thing." Or Branson can buy it and use Virgin Space to take care of it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just accepted to a 6:30pm meeting tonight.
And don't you often go to work at ass o'clock in the morning, too??
Tea-wise, I really like the Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer, which is spicy and delicious. It apparently has Eleuthero, peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, West Indian lemongrass, licorice, catnip, tilia flowers, natural lemon flavor.

Not today, though. The meeting is so late because colleagues in Japan will be on it.
