Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crud -- I've been totally screwing around all morning, forgetting that I actually have work to do, and I'm only in two days this week! Yikes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Blister protection. It's why you see some people all bloodied up after playing.

I could see it on the fingertips, but in between the knuckles? Me no understand.

Thanks for the photo, Beverly! Took me a second to get all the way down to the fingers.

Called out sick today. I have a headache from hell, which may or may not be caffeine withdrawal since I haven't quit completely, and MY EAR HURTS. Last night it was tickling and itching like there was a hair stuck in the ear canal or some such, and it was driving me mad, so I did what I never do and put some alcohol on a Q-tip and tried to fix it. Bad idea. For a second I thought I'd ruptured my eardrum. Now it feels like there's a small lake crammed in my earhole. It's quite uncomfortable.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Will you get in trouble? Will people be put out by you doing it, have to cover your classes, learn less, etc? Or are students already done/subs paid for (going to earn money for it!)/they were watching videos anyway?

Meara, I might get in trouble, but I still have 12 hours of sick leave and to leave to go to yoga would mean I would use three of those. People would be put out to cover the classes. It's the end of the year and there is no learning.

Today was a shithole morning. We had to replace Grace's g-tube and it was a rush against time to get her ready for the bus after that. I've been up since 4:00 AM.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dunno if this is real. But I can't decide which is my fave - that He turns water into wine, or that He has glow-in-the-dark hands.

Happy birthday, Dylan! I hope your day is as delightful as your are.

Happy birthday, Java! I hope that you are both lauded and feted.

Our wings are not tired.

Thanks! I love sharing my day with Dylan. And who knew a Facebook wall with people coming out of the woodwork to say "Happy Birthday" could make me so happy?

Woke up at 4 (birds) and finally got to sleep again at 7:30. Taking my team to dim sum lunch (I am working today) and then dinner tonight with some friends from work. Trying not to be upset about Steve not being here.

JZ, I am sorry for your broken church heart, but so admire that it doesn't shake your faith or resolve. Hope you're able to find/create another sanctuary soon.
