Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

You're right. I only got about 3 1/2 hours last night.

You can do other things with your gourd-of-the-month club membership. You can do etching, bas reliefs, painting and wood burning. Why stop with just carving?

Well, I got more sleep than planned, but that meant I had to come back to the house to finish getting ready for work. Which I'll still be at early.

Parents are off, it was an awesome visit. I kept them and me busy, which I think is key to me not getting irritated. Also discovered that having people over when they are visiting is an utter balm for me & makes me able to enjoy them more. I always figured it would be more exhausting (more people=more exhausting,) but I think it allows me to offload the need to entertain them, which means I get more pieces of me to put in reserve. I know, they are my parents and they'd have been perfectly content to sit around my house and read all week, but I cannot help but need to keep them engaged. And engaging 2 people 15+ hours a day, no matter who they are, probably moreso parents, leaves me fried.

OK, time to go to work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah. I'm glad my parents don't always want to engage... Sounds like a good visit, though!

It is a lot of annoying when my employer makes it impossible for me to actually get my daughter to school so I can get to own my job.

Seriously! Sheesh.

I woke up at 5:30, and should have just gotten up, because instead I went back to sleep and dreamed about working with some bonus apartment-hunting thrown in. I'm exhausted from it!

I love that Sue's link says:

"The next thing I’m going to do is carve one of the longer gourds into a perfect replica of the Mayflower as a shout-out to our Pilgrim forefathers. Then I’m going to do lines of blow off its hull with a hooker. "

It all comes back to hookers and blow!

Knee is 50% less agonizing. I actually walked up and down one flight of stairs yesterday with only 2 or 3 major twinges in the hinges. And I didn't fall. It doesn't hurt to just walk, which is good. I think Saturday the issue was that I sat in a training for 6+ hours and it locked my ITB up.

I cannot be zen about today.

Health ~ma to Hubs.

And to Kat, and Bartleby, and anyone else in need. (Except maybe the zombie poodle.)

Because books.

Oh, that poor dog.

All kinds of ~ma to Hubs, Fred. And hang in there, Kat.

I have one of those stupid twitches under my left eye, and I've eaten my banana. I want it to stop now, please.

Lots of get-and-stay-healthy vibes sent Hubs-ward and to everyone else who needs to feel better!!

I just need to stay awake for the next 12 hours, at which point I should be home from class and can crash. I ended up getting a 75-minute nap before waking up at 6:45. At least I was able to print out my bibliography just now at work (my printer from home ran out of ink after printing out the PP slides).

Coffee--lots of coffee...
