Congrats, Kate!
My nephew is a pretty good minion for me and my parents (less so for his parents). And now his teachers use him to reach things on the top shelves.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Was trying to figure out why my shins and calves were achy. Um, I probably walked 5 to 6 miles on monday. Duh!

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

Oh, Kate, congratulations! I am sorry that sick is no good and you feel homesick. May things get better right quick.
Excellent! I wonder how old they have to be before they can be really useful minions. 18 months, maybe?
25
If that. Or at 25 they might be living on your sofa again, jobless. Sigh.
I should update my syllabus.

Congrats, Kate! This is where I casually mention that "Clovis" is a lovely name for a child. Ahem.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Kate! Congratulations! Much joy to you and your family!
I spent the evening talking, reading, NOT sleeping and setting the alarm for an early morning hair cut appt my BFF bought me as a bday gift.
So. Will be stepping out into the terrifying world tomorrow, no matter iffn it kills me.
Today has been SO much better. Hard, but better.
And tomorrow, I go back to work. I have catching up to do, and apologies to make.
But I think I will read for a little bit longer, drink the rest of my water, and say Thank you for y'all being you, and letting my insert my cray-cray into your day.
Muchos, muchos gracias.

You do do a lot. You are awesome.
Thank you!
shrift, I'm impressed by the amount of walking you do!
Thanks! It's my main form of exercise. Not having a car helps me rack up miles, and I've been trying to get in at least 5 miles every day. I've discovered that I really like walking for an hour listening to funny podcasts with nothing else to demand my time.
Also, does anyone ever really get everything together?
If I could figure out how to make myself get 8 hours of sleep every night, I think I could get alarmingly and irritatingly close to it.
Problem with these damned anti-depressants is that I want to do more things. However, I still have the migraines, so I can't do more.
For me, I spent years being miserable and too busy at work to do anything, and then I was too poor to do anything, and I got into a do-nothing rut. And now that I'm reasonably healthy and financially sound (totes a place of privilege!), I had done nothing for so long that even the thought of trying to get out of that rut made me anxious.
Screw you, crippling anxiety! I will defeat you! Temporarily from time to time!
And congrats, Kate!
