You have a conference call at 9PM on a Sunday?!? Please tell me you mean 9AM tomorrow.

I mean, heck, I have to be at the airport at some ungodly hour (6AM?) tomorrow, but at least I'm not working right now. Though really I SHOULD be, because I've got a ton of shit to be doing. And at some point I have to fire up the work computer ot figure out when my flight is in the morning...

Instead, I'm looking online wasting time daydreaming about where my airline miles could take me and what I could do with them. I want to visit Fay...and my brother (in Prague)...and I need to go to South America (but don't wanna do it alone...). But I also want to STAY HOME. Sigh.

ita, is it a conference call with people in China or something?

Nah. It's in twenty minutes, with Americans. I am so depressed by the thought I'm having a hard time psyching myself into connecting my work laptop to the VPN. Ugh. This weekend was supposed to be a straight up repeat of last weekend, but it took a hell of a lot longer, so we're kinda screwed.

Ugh, ita. Should you even have to do that as a contractor?

I guess the under-boob rash is more common than I suspected!

I am watching Rizzoli and Isles (which I keep wanting to call Vanzetti & Oates?) and the victim's name is Gail Jager. My horrible old boss had the same first name, and her last name was Jagel. It is very disconcerting I was also just thinking (after watching Covert Affair) that there seems to be a lack of women in their mid to late- thirties on TV, and there they are. Usually I think people are my age, and it ends up that the actors are my age, but the character is 28. Or possibly just 30. And female actors just a bit older than I (like Keri Matchett) keep getting playing opposite men in their fifties as though they are the same age

Great article in the NYT magazine about how medical schools are addressing abortion. [link] I didn't realize that the Susan Buffet Foundation (wife of Warren) funds so much pro-choice and contraception programs.

Should you even have to do that as a contractor?

He is going to have a shitfit when he sees my bill. I wonder if I can take a day off next week...Thursday is Colin's birthday, and his girlfriend is having a surprise thing for him.

I spent the day at a hotel pool for my friend Whitney's birthday. Honestly, I felt like I was at MTV's Spring Break. As I walked in, "Welcome to the Jungle" was playing. Luckily, we had a roped off area away from the children.

It was surprisingly fun (I think that the special area helped). Hanging out, enjoying the sunshine and a cocktail or two was a lot of fun. I thought of ita and wondered if she was having a good time at Colin's pool.

hmmm...I wonder if Grace has chicken pox.

Did they break out on her torso first, Kat? Check her temp, too.

Amy, no fever. And no, the rash originated on her leg and then her arm.

But with benadryl and an oatmeal bath, the original inflammation that is left looks like pimples, they are still there and they are on her torso.

I'm fucked up because i'm like, "well, if it's chicken pox then at least it's not what I fed her."

I have guilt and worry around her feedings.
