Suzi, I feel you on the ick. I've had some kind of vague little cold for 10 days that decided to become a real cold on Monday. Today is the first day of week 3. I currently sound like someone with lifelong bottle of whisky and 2 packs a day habit.

Yoga should be fun tonight.

Okay, not looking for me and my nefarious activities, as it turns out. Looking for someone else, a witness to a crime. But he already knew by the time he got to my door that it wasn't the right place, because the numbers didn't match up with the street.

But still! Black SUV! Guy in sunglasses! I totally looked at his id so that I'd know what it should look like should I need to know in the future!

But now I'm consumed with curiosity as to where the person he's actually looking for is.

SHEMAR MOORE!! Tell him Hi!

All I did today was clear off the TiVo. I haven't even showered yet. I really have no motivation to apply for the three jobs I found on TUESDAY!. So 2 days of nothing on the job search. shame spiral.

The FBI could be bringing a really big check from Publisher's Clearinghouse? I dunno. Most people I know who have heard from the FBI have friends undergoing background checks for federal employment, but they usually call, rather than go door to door.

because it deserves a new post (((((amy))))), way too much to deal with.

For everyone having a bad day, because it cheered me right the hell up-a cat trying to fit into a water bottle. [link]

Oh, amyth. So much love and strength to you.

I was just telling my co-worker that I just hope that she doesn't die today, because I really don't want to miss E's wife's wake tonight, and she said, "I...don't know what to say to that."

That reminds me of a conversation I had with a good friend back in July, just after M's brother died, and I was going on about how awful the situation was, and he said, "Oh my god, I'm just glad you're not on fire!" It was one of the few things to make me laugh that week.

So, yeah. I'm glad you're not on fire, and I'm glad your brain is protecting you as much as it can. We are thinking of you and holding you in our hearts.

Hee, Daisy. That was so great. I love the bit where the cat looks at the camera, all, just give me a damn drink of water, okay?

Hey msbelle, just think about how awesome it will feel once you're doing it. Now go and APPLY FOR THE DAMN JOBS ALREADY.

I'm going to go write the note I was supposed to do "after the holidays."

{{{amyth}}} I agree with everyone else; your brain is just keeping the rest of you safe, disconnecting you from the full weight of all the badness so you can keep functioning and soldier on until you get to a place and time where it's safe to collapse. At which point you'll have about a billion offers of sympathetic ears and shoulders and comforts of any sort you need. I just wish you didn't need it. And the universe needs to back off you and all your beloveds NOW.
