Oh, bonny. Much peace and joy and grace to walk with grief to you and yours.

~ma for Bonny and all yours.

and hooray for smonster, that's the happiest ending resulting from cat pee ever.

thanks for all the for the kind words. i think i'm feeling better today. the true test will be in an hour when i sit down for 4 consecutive hours of dispatch training on a slow night. while it probably won't be reaffirming, it at least won't be kicking my ass like saturday and sunday nights were.

eta the frosting was delicious (cream cheese that i had brought in for cupcakes already decimated) and i stocked up on more crappy chocolate today....but at least i know and expect it to be crappy mass produced vd candy.

erin, you're so capable of handling this. Sure, it's a new skill set, and a different environment than calling a show, but you could handle being a stage manager, so you can totally handle dispatching.

Can I really be the first person up and posting today?

That ain't right. I'm drinking these here glass a water and a-going back to bed for an hour.

I'm up and sorta here.

My boss is out, and she's usually the first one here at 7 or so. The rest of the team doesn't make it in until 8:30 or so. I thought I'd go ahead and come in in case people are expecting an answer on anything before 8 or so.

I'm here, but until now have had nothing to say. I still have very little to say, so I have brought along this NSFW edition of Wake Up With Fry and Laurie: [link] "Don't Be Dirty".

Here's my link contribution this morning [link]

Ow. My ankle hurts. Don't wanna do work today. But I've got to write at least two pages, send out one more application, and file my expenses from my SF trip. I think I'll stop at the deli and get a bagel on the way in.

Also, in WTF is up with my brain news: At least twice in the past week, I've had a dream that there was a Norwegian convenience store around the corner from me. Like, they sold all the usual convenience store stuff, snacks and single-serving drinks and stuff like that, but the Norwegian versions. I remember crackers and chocolate soy milk. I do not know why my subconscious has decided that this would be a good idea.
