Ah but your sins are venial as they involve cantaloupe. Whereas mine involve potato chips.

Ugh, I need to contain my mood. My wonderful husband just took the kids to soccer practice without me, which is nice of him, but it does mean he thinks I need a major mood adjustment.

Today being a day I intended to knock off early, of course I've somehow instead ended up with another couple hours worth of work still, here at 8:30pm. I could do it anytime this weekend, as long as it's done by Monday morning, but I have PLANS for this weekend, dammit. Plans that already included two hours of overtime work. And now I have a headache that's making it hard to concentrate. Or see. Not good.

ita !, work-from-home high-five!

ita !, that's so great about the working from home!

Zen, yuck. I hope you can knock off soon, and feel better even sooner.

Pecan pie for dinner and in bed by 8:30? Don't mind if I do.

I've got some sort of rash on my neck. It's itchy. Also, disconcerting.

I am an awesome mom, so I went to Bingo night at Ellie's school with her and Frisco after working since 8 am. And of course, I forgot money so then we had to be "given" our pizza. And everyone was totally nice about it but every visit to that school for non-official functions makes me feel like I am just not cool enough for that place.

Went to bed at 10pm, awake at 2:30 thinking about shite, up at 3:30 to do the work I couldn't finish last night, still have headache. Cat is confused about whether it is breakfast time or not.

Daniel, good to see your font! Much healing~ma to you. Lots of folks are thinking about you.

Also hugely impressed with you, Maria, and le nubian for kicking serious ASS.

Ass hasn't yet been kicked. But at least I know what happened. I need to figure out how to deal with it now. Not sure if I need to talk to a lawyer, or to folks at the bank, or what.

Maria, I'm sorry about the traffic and the frustration.

Hec & JZ, I hope the folks who claimed to repair the car can re-repair it?

Feel-better Daniel.

So, I got two shots yesterday, one for tetanus, one for pneumonia. Both in the left arm. It seems to me that the tetanus shot is a bit sore, but okay, the pneumonia one is fucked up. It hurts quite a bit.

I'm supposed to get a flu shot in October, which I guess I will do, but I'm reminded why I haven't been keeping up on shots all these years.

I suppose a few days of discomfort is worth not getting pneumonia and tetanus. But I am not feeling like using perspective right now.

I *think* tetanus is one of the ones that really hurts and for a while? I think I had to have one a few years ago and seem to remember that.

Frisco peed in the bed last night (we all sleep together). After the initial cleanup, we moved to the guest bedroom which is also where the Wii lives. So they are having a great time playing Mario Cart, I am chilling with my laptop, and we are all eating dry cereal. It's funny how much fun it can be to use your regular space in a different way. They have both told me several times how much fun it is just hanging out in this room this morning.
