Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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

My company's offices, in New Jersey, are closed today because the streets are impassable.

Therefore I should go back to bed, right? Interrupted sleep isn't much better than no sleep, and now I am groggy and cranky.

Oh well. I probably couldn't sleep now anyway, I've already had the morning caffeine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hooray! I forgot that next weekend is the long one, and I was just thinking this morning about going to Target, and when would make sense to do that this weekend, and we just got an email about early release on Friday! Perfect!

Early release is good!

oooh, we might get early liberty on Friday too!

... aw, shit. If we get it, it's only good for regular employees, not contractors. Damn it. ::pouts::

ION, I think I'm going to have to find a doctor. I suspect this thing backed up into my sinuses is going to become a sinus infection. Bleargh.

Heh - I just started FlyLady too, and I totally know what you mean! Except my kitchen sink is a turqoise-ish ceramic that really doesn't "shine" no matter how well I clean it.

She loses me with the wearing shoes inside thing, especially given that my only lace up shoes are sneakers.

She always lost me with that, but now the doctor says I have to wear shoes with inserts ALL THE TIME until this heel heals. It's driving me crazy, but perhaps it's a really perverse way for the universe to tell me to look at flylady again.

Does she encourage that? I kind of skim past the whole "get dressed every day" thing since I figure it's aimed more at people who don't work outside the home. I mean, getting dressed every day is something I have to do no matter how clean & organized my house is.

But I totally agree that wearing shoes inside is a bad idea - if the goal is a cleaner home, leaving shoes outside goes a LONG way to not tracking dirt inside.

I can see that -- if I don't have a bra on, I still feel like I'm in my pajamas. But I don't wear shoes around the house, ever. I take my shoes off at other people's houses.

Agreed!

Though I should have Grace in lace up shoes with her brace all the time. But I usually don't, at least in the house.

Well, her whole first week is primarily the shoes thing and the sink. And I don't have a metal sink either, so the "shine" element is sort of moot.

Admittedly, I just looked at the first week, so her assumptions (everyone has a double sink, that's made of metal, shoes/makeup) sort of put me off. But I have been really lazy at home of late and I'm trying to get back on the true path, so I will check out the rest.
