msbelle, on FB this morning (I think) Laura said it seemed like power was out at her office, but all was well at home.

Is Laura still WAY out of town? I forget where she goes in the summer -- Maine? Upstate New York? Something like that. But she can work remotely, so I assumed from her FB post that she was still in her non-Florida area but couldn't work remotely because of power outages from the storm.

Thank heavens I am friends with a bunch of ants, because I am a total grasshopper WRT to this storm.

I do not know what you mean, but I like the turn of phrase.

I needed fried food goodness for lunch again, negating the Wii Fit I did yesterday by like a gagillion. oh whell.

I am forcing myself to get the work done I need to, but I really just want to leave and get a manicure. IS THAT SO WRONG?!?

I love this turn of phrase!

I am watching Weather Channel constantly and worrying for my friends and their families and pets in the path of the storm. May Isaac turn out to be "just" a TS.

I have my meeting with the SO's trainer this evening, and I am freaking terrified. But I am trying to live a new life. I've been pretty consistent with getting up earlier and getting to bed earlier, although I still zonk out in the afternoon, whether or not I actually nap. Which is not good because that will be the time I need to be at my peak for afterschool, but we'll see how the routine settles in once we're actually in school.

Right now I am drowning (drowning, I tell you!) in receipts, but I have not heard from the bank yet, so I am plugging away. Sometimes I feel optimistic about it, and sometimes I feel like it will never ever ever end.

But otoh, usually I never get to this part, prior to the school year.

In nice news, Anna Faris (and Chris Pratt) had the baby, and named him Jack! Babies.

I can't believe how hard I am screwing around today, as my big deadline draws ever closer.... But it's not for days yet! I have plenty of time! (Unless something turns out to be really fucked up, and then I'll be screwed and/or working over the weekend.)

Fable of ant and grasshopper. One is prepared for winter, one fiddles his life away and ends up hungry.

God, I am stuck at "work" babysitting a client's house while the cable guy works, and I am bored as shit and antsy and my back hurts. And I haven't had lunch yet.

smonster,

I thought I knew all the fables. I have fucked up!

Jack Pratt? And what will his diet look like, I wonder?

Ha! I didn't think of that.
