wow I couldn't type this morning- but sleeping is not easy . we are planing our trip and I ma at t he stage where I keep waking up with incoherent lists in my brain

Pacific fabric, Jilli--in Bellevue.

Ah. Then I am not surprised you didn't see any Democrat fabric. The owners of Pacific Fabric lean toward conservative anyway (IIRC), and Bellevue is not a likely demographic for fabric prints for both parties.

I just woke up from a nap. I've been feeling so sleep deprived the last several days but I'm pretty sure I'm getting enough rest.

Will spent the weekend with me, or Thursday night through this morning. I ended up having to work Friday morning but it worked out okay. Saturday we went to Shelburne Museum to see the Steampunk and Robot exhibit and it is SO AWESOME! I want to go back.

They had a display of toy robots and sci fi toys including a large Dalek and Davros. The steampunk display included Steampunk Darth Vader, Steampunk Boba Fett, Steampunk Tardis, Steampunk and Sonic Screwdriver.

Plus this whole thing that was like items siezed by the FBI from a mad scientist.

I didn't take enough pictures. There were even 2 areas with props and bits of costumes for picture taking. I couldn't get Will to put on the steam punk goggles, but he took some pictures of me. I couldn't wear the bits of costume but it was still fun.

It was really cool.

The temp gig is going to be interesting, the person is the executive assistant to the chair of the neurology dept at the college. Actually there are 2 chairs, because the dept is combining with another and 1 chair will be interim and the other will be staying on to help. And I have to deal with scheduling for both and they have crazy schedules. Also I have to do attendance at Grand Rounds and take meeting minutes (which, honestly I've never done before) and order office supplies.

The woman going on maternity leave is very, very organized and she has as spreadsheet for each week with stuff I have to every day. And I'm only doing the stuff that can't be put off until she comes back. (either mid Sept or end of October).

I am having a hard time of it lately. It's a lot of environmental stuff coupled with the brain chemistry stuff and I seem perpetualy Out of Spoons. I am woefully behind in all things life and school related, I haven't been to church in four weeks because I con't bring myself to face anyone there because I haven't gone in four weeks, the house looks like total shit, and the more I feel bad about not getting anything done, the absolute less I do. I think I need Joe to take my recliner into the basement so I can't sit on it and watch tv, not doing anything productive.

Oooh, Aims is me! I feel your pain, and raise you a BLEARGH FUCKITY.

I'll trade you houses for a week. My place is pit; I've been out of spoons and the Stupid Arm (TM) hasn't helped, as I still am not allowed to lift anything more than a pound with it, and typing too much really makes it hurt.

And I spent 8 HOURS throwing up last Friday, and THIS Friday night, I thought my stomach had popped or I had food poisoning -- I didn't throw up, but it hurt WAY worse than when I broke my arm.

I am SO behind. Finally feel semi-demi motivated today. I made groceries! And will take a shower! PROMISE.

t Sits in the corner with Aims and Strix Last week was a total loss wrt getting anything at all done in the house that didn't include playing facebook games and clearing space on the dvr. However, today I finally went through a stack of bills, paid them, and shredded everything I didn't need. So, I'm hoping this week will be a little bit better. I need to make a list, then actually stick to that list.

I hope this bench has a lot of room. Have I mentioned I am trying to move? Yeah, that alone kills your spoon supply.

yes. I think I have one spoon left.

and it is in my fucking mouth!

is it silver? maybe we can pawn it and get some maids for everyone.

I made groceries!

Heh, I've not seen anyone outside of New Orleans use this phrasing.
