Now I'm tearing up. That post is going into the "Look At When Depressed" file.
I know I've been sappy lately, but the day I stumbled upon you people is easily one of the five best days of my life.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Hopefully this week allows you to slide into the semester rather than being thrown in head-first.
Well, so far, there's been a lot of trying to get all the computer stuff to work. We're using several different online course supplements, and most of them are great on their own, or at least harmless on their own, but they're supposed to all work together and link things that a student does in one with a gradebook thing in another and let the students seamlessly go between them, and it's not so much working. I think the main problem is that these things have a ton of different customization options, so that different universities and different instructors can get them to work however works best for them, but having a hundred different options in each of five programs makes it nearly impossible to test every combination, and just about everybody will end up picking some setting in one that doesn't cooperate with some other setting in another one.
Tomorrow, I think I'll try to prepare my first few days of lecture notes. There's a new edition of the textbook, and they totally reorganized the first chapter, so I need to figure out what topics go where.

I wonder if I could get Jasmine in a calendar. She can do regal. Maybe.

Yay congrats Maria! Your interview-fu is strong.
Oh Nora, sending good thoughts to you and Taz. Now I am most worried to leave town while my cat is sick. But at least we've got her started on medication.
Oh and Connie? Expect an email soon.

The mouseover text on today's Google logo made me giggle.

I believe I'm about to break down and make an appointment with a doctor. Maybe several doctors. It's not normal to be tired and listless all the time and in pain most of the time, even if I am a middle-aged peri-menopausal woman, is it?
One other thing that you might want to look into as a possible cause is fibromyalgia.
