It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

The first meeting of the day featured shouting from everyone but me. (I was not yet caffeinated enough to care.) My supervisor threatening to pack all his toys and go home, and then one of my coworkers doing exactly that. I was just sitting there, thinking, "I just need to get to the end of the day. I am saying nothing."

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I am so out of it today. I think I'm having my annual adjustment to the coming winter. Shorter days, colder temperatures...I'm ready to hibernate.

Tim is definitely a rock star.

Congrats to Leif, Gud, and job ~ma to you.

I'm glad I've been forewarned by y'all about the changes in the Mass. Next time I went to a wedding or a funeral I would've been completely weirded out.

Good luck, Gud!

Way to go you mad genius, Leif!

Scraped Emmett out of bed and poured him onto a train at 6:20. Came back and we roused Matilda and got her dressed and out the door, and she was super excited for school today instead of dragging her behind. Why? It wasn't the pumpkin patch. They did that on Wednesday. No, it's because it was Computer Lab Day!

Happy birthday, aurelia!!

I'll have to ask Mom about those Mass changes; I hadn't even heard about them before now.

She got into town on Monday night, and I'm going down to Joliet to spend the weekend with her and the family. She said that my uncle, who she's staying with this week, is excited to see me. Aww! We'll be celebrating his 80th birthday on Sunday, so it'll be fun seeing everyone there.

Because books.

I got a review in Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books! That's pretty cool.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wish I had some tiny Halloween costume item for this weekend -- just like a nose or ears or something. Ah well -- I bet there will be shopping tomorrow, so maybe I can still get something!

Go Amy!

I am working from home, and am actually probably doing as much work as I would have done in the office -- while watching TV and doing laundry! Sweet.
