Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Argh. Someone tell me to get some fucking work done? Because my self-discipline thingamawhoozie, which never worked in the first place, now seems to have wandered off altogether.

Christ, me too. I thought being out of the office for a week would help, but nsm.

My sleep-adjacent night is really taking its toll on me now... And alas, I too must go like the wind. Presumably a wind with a case of asthma.

I got a job! Temporary, and I sort of neglected to inquire how much I would be paid. But it's in a library.

Of course, they want me to start Monday at 8am, so I need to arrange before and after school care stat, and my mother is arriving tonight at 7pm and not leaving until Sunday at 4pm and then we're invited to dinner Sunday night. Also, the boss of the job admonished me for talking too loud today. That's right, a shusher.

Still, a job!

Good.

And, honestly, I wish Paterno were quitting immediately. Fuck "finishing the season." I don't give a good goddamn about college football or his lauded career in the face of what is tantamount to abetting sexual abuse of children. His ass should be gone today.

flea, excellent!

Also, Tim and I are incredibly shamefaced at how we've fallen down on the job at getting together with you and your family to welcome you to Cincy. And, at this point, we're kind of slammed until after Thanksgiving. So -- maybe some time after Thanksgiving? We can e-mail about it.
