I'm trying to distract myself from stressing about job stuff. I'll hear tomorrow, and there's nothing I can do until then.
My instinct for distraction is food, but I know that's not such a good idea -- I've eaten a perfectly reasonable amount today, and I'm not actually hungry, just stressed. So I'm watching MASH until Gypsy comes on in 20 minutes, and hoping that's enough to occupy my brain.
Very cool, Sean. How often will you be doing the roots?
Also, poor Matilda! Feel better soon, kiddo.
Matilda heeded your instructions until about quarter to three, poor lamb.
Much in all as I'm proud that my son is a burgeoning trendsetter, I do hope that one day he'll start using his powers for good.
Meanwhile, on the back of Ryan's incident we simplified our Mother's Day plans (no trips of any distance). But it was still fun. Ryan perked up a lot for the rest of the day. Wallybee went off for a well-deserved massage. In the evening we all took a walk to the local fish and chip shop to pick up some dinner (not quite what we'd originally planned, but still a very enjoyable meal). Wallybee fell asleep in front of the TV, watching Doctor Who, Bones and Castle. All things considered, I think it was a success.
Whoa. There was a postdoc that I applied for. It was a huge long shot -- I knew that there are a ton of people way more qualified than me -- but it was posted pretty late in the job search process, after a lot of those people would have already found positions, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I just got an email saying that I'm a finalist.
Wow Hil! That's wonderful!
Also, {{Zen}}. You're a good kitty-mother. We all make mistakes with our pets, sometimes. Whatever they may be, it's still a lot better than letting them live in the street. And most importantly? You don't mean to do your pets harm. Much ~ma to the both of you.
