Yay, Teppy!

So, I booked my plane ticket last night for my sudden vacation (still waiting to hear back on the hotel, eek) after they said they didn't need me to go anywhere. This morning, I get an email saying "ooh, wait, my bad--if you're still free, we could use you in Guatemala!" Sigh. Oh well, vacation will be funner.

Tep, that's so great. And I'm glad the ex's son appreciates the awesomeness that is Tim, and what he's done for him.

I'll have to try the benedryl trick next time I get a migraine.

So, my "sneaking a nap" turned into 3 hrs of sleep. Oops, but I really needed it. Now I need to load the car and get to my parents'. Maybe I can do a little work there...

Yay smonster for coming to New Orleans tonight! Where are you staying? How long are you gonna be in town, again?

Corner of Frenchmen and Burgundy, and I'm leaving next Saturday afternoon. I'm about to send out an email to a bunch of people, but I don't suppose you'd be up for getting me from the airport tonight at 11:40 pm? I'm staying with Heather G, have you met her? She's AWESOME.

OMG, you guys, the production of "Frankenstein" last night was AMAZING. The whole piece is the story of the monster himself, and it starts with almost 10 minutes of him onstage alone. It begins with his "birth," then struggling to gain control over his movements and then finally walking. Completely riveting and physical acting and Cumberbatch nailed it. Just transcendent.

Damn, I wish I could have seen that! Both for the subject, and for Cumberbatch.

I can tell I'm gonna be useless today. Apparently I was useless yesterday too; I sent an issue to the printer and totally forgot to send the accompanying paperwork, and forgot to tell the art people to send the cover image to the printer. I've been doing this little dance-of-the-printer-batch about every four weeks for ten years. How did I manage to forget half the steps? I mean, no big deal; I took care of it this morning and all is well, and my boss didn't even get a chance to yell at me. But still. I may be even more burned-out than I realize, if my mind is pulling away from my job to the point that I can barely DO my job. I need a long vacation.

In summary, hookers and blow.

Where are you going on your sudden vacation, meara?

Teppy, meant to say, congrats on getting Tim's ex's son on his merry way with such minimal drama!

I'm going to a little town in Mexico near Puerto Vallarta, called Sayulita. It's got better beaches than PV--which I've only been to once, and it was fun (with a bunch of friends about three years ago) and that trip we took a daytrip to Sayulita and had fun, so I figured WTH--there are still lots of frequent flier seats available on Alaska, if anyone wants to join me! :)

OH and here is where I WISH I were staying OMG:

My best friend went to her sister's wedding there! The pictures looked gorgeous!

If Steph is around...or anyone else with drug experience.

I took the claritin Tuesday and Wednesday morning. then took the zyrtec last evening and this morning.

Would it hurt me if I went to the store and got allegra to try this evening?

I am seriously NOT a pill taker, but the allergy symptoms are kicking my butt.

Also, I'm supposed to be shopkeeping for my friends tomorrow from 1-4 and I hate to take something tomorrow morning that knocks me out.

Aaaaahhhh. I would like for this 'phase' to be over now please. Thank you.
