Hang on to that feeling as long as possible!

I slept through my alarm for almost 40 minutes. Oops. I should have gone to bed earlier.

I had a classic Spare Cat incident in the night. I wake up, sweating with a hot flash, so I throw off most of my covers. And, I've found a really useful technique for getting it to go away faster, which is to hike up my nightgown so that the small of my back is exposed, because that seems to be a trigger point that if cooled off makes the rest of it calm down.

So Spare Cat helpfully comes over and curls up right against the hot spot. All that fur and that high cat body heat -- against the worst place she could have chosen. I suppose she's all confused as to why I'm objecting so much. SIGH

Bah! My boss's boss decided to sit in the empty cubicle right across from me!

Fill his head with lies! Lies, I say!

Today just went so above my paygrade.

I think I parked too close to the car (a Lexus) next to me in the parking lot. But I am the one w/in the lines. The other car is over the line. But it's making me kind of anxious. On the other hand, I'm wearing a boot thing for my ankle and it's a hassle to get around and I'd have to take it off to move my car.

That's what's going on in my brain right now! You are welcome.

My sister was still at work at 11 PM last night. Why does it matter to me? Because it means I didn't go running this morning, since she wasn't waiting for me at 5:50AM today.

Oh, the dangers of peer-pressure-driven exercise schedules.

I solemnly promise to take the dog for a long walk tonight.

Harold Camping says May 21, 2011 was ‘invisible judgment day,’ world will end October 21, 2011

Radio evangelist Harold Camping said in a special broadcast Monday night on his radio program Open Forum that his predicted May 21, 2011 Rapture was “an invisible judgment day“ that he has come to understand as a spiritual, rather than physical event.

“We had all of our dates correct,” Camping insisted, clarifying that he now understands that Christ’s May 21 arrival was “a spiritual coming” ushering in the last five months before the final judgment and destruction.

In an hour and a half broadcast, Camping walked listeners through his numerological timeline, insisting that his teaching has not changed and that the world will still end on October 21, 2011.

“It wont be spiritual on October 21st,” Camping said, adding, “the world is going to be destroyed all together, but it will be very quick.”

Camping had previously pointed to October 21 as the last day on earth for all humanity.

His former assertion was that a faithful three percent would be physically pulled into heaven by God through the Rapture on May 21, to be followed by a five month period of great suffering known as the Tribulation, ending, finally, on October 21. On Monday’s broadcast, Camping speculated that perhaps a merciful God decided to spare humanity five months of “hell on earth.”

So they can take all their thousands of billboards across the world and just cross out "May" and write "Oct." above it.

Give Camping points for creativity, if nothing else.

I just got super-awesome news from my sister about her work, but I'm forbidden to say anything for a while. But still, squee! good news!

And HKF got a chapter book in the mail from my MiL. She's been reading for a while, and will trade pages of whatever we're reading together (Narnia, atm), but when I suggested she might be able to read this on her own and could ask me for help with tough words (it's a thinner book than Narnia, with slightly larger print, but still a big-person chapter book), she sat down on the floor in the hallway and started reading. 45 minutes later, she was still reading. She finished the book this morning. Her first full book on her own. I'm all choked up.
