Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think the sleep conversation last night cursed me

I shouldn't have brought it up. I got comically little sleep last night. My face is puffed up so much I'm having difficulty seeing, and my head...let's not speak of the headache.

Work will only happen from home.

That's great your mom has a good support system, Kathy!

Gud, I'm so sorry. And, Sparky, my heart is aching for you guys.

Our event last night didn't have a big crowd but we still made several hundred dollars and it was really fun! The artists seemed to really enjoy our poses and costumes...and snacks. I'll tell you what, though, staying completely still for 20 minutes is HARD!

I am trying to do some job work today. I should have done this on Friday, then the weekend, then yesterday. Instead I did yard work, which I loved doing, but isn't helping me get a paycheck.

Other things that need doing today: taxes, wash the dishes overflowing the sinks, call a mom to change a playdate.

This is onerous task week for me. The 14th will be nothing special. The bookshelf was already huge. I've been dancing around that for over a year.

I need to figure out lighting in my living room. I want general lights, plus something specific over my shoulder for art. I tried switching with the two-headed reading lamp from my bedroom, but it's crap at lighting the room.

Ann, that's a ferret.

((((Gud and family))))

Google's logo today also celebrates Gagarin's flight.

Mouse over the logo. Neat effect.

I'm sorry you're getting such bad news, Gud.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I am not doing an onerous task this week (unless it's one that I have to do for my job). The closer I get to Friday, the more I feel like bouncing off the walls.

(((Sparky))) I hope your puppy comes home soon!

I usually listen to shows while I work on more tedious tasks at work. Right now I am listening to Pie-lette on WB.com, but with Pushing Daisies, it's pretty hard to not want to watch it because the visuals are so stunning.

I am sorry Gud. We are still up in the air as far as what's happening with us. It's better news than it was, but still unstable.

Because books.

I don't know anyone who's a short sleeper. I don't want to. I could sleep ten hours every night, and I'm like shrift -- I'm a serious night person, but that schedule doesn't work well with the rest of the world.

Sparky, I'm heartbroken for you and DH.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I went to bed early and actually slept well last night for the first time in a while. What is it about sitting in an infusion clinic for 3 hours getting iron wipes me out?

CJ also slept well. Well enough to sleep through his alarm and get to school 45 minutes late. Oooops. Luckily his first class is PE, so he didn't miss anything major.
