yipes Kat, that does sound hella stressful.
Sick kid update: Franny developed a mild fever at some point this afternoon, which means staying home was the right thing to do. Sigh. Now I'm worried Isaac will get it.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Came home from work and headed to the dojo for an hour. It felt good to be able to put all my concentration into something physical. Since I've been home I've been working on a puzzle. I'm afraid to crawl in bed, turn out the lights, and be alone with my brain.

Good to know! And aww, muppet waves in your general direction, brenda. Next time work brings you this way, see if you can schedule a little extra and erika and you and I could get together!

You know what else is bullshit? The first significant snow in our forecast, and it's for FRIDAY NIGHT. I don't need that shit!
Tell me about it! I was supposed to go to Amherst this weekend. Looks like I'll be spending Saturday digging out instead.

Because books.
It's a Black Parade morning in the headphones. I feel certain Jilli will back me up on this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This morning is the meeting where the entire IT department gets to grill me on my error to not compensate for/detect other people's errors well enough. I feel I have very little in the way of defence here, although I want to scream. I feel like holding my breath until 11. I can think of three separate things to get in trouble for by ten o'clock alone.
I have to pull out of that steep dive. I can't have people (not my management) pulling me aside and telling me to work more accurately. That's not acceptable behaviour on my part. I got a really tough project in $360 over budget, but everything else seems to have fallen apart, and I have not gotten back in shape since that project ended.
I'm trying not to think of medical shit, because I don't know what ER to go to this weekend if home care hasn't been instituted. Two rejections in a row from RR is a bit of a hint, and everyone except the ER at Santa Monica thinks the ER should just have treated me according to the instructions in my file (rather than pretending she followd them--I'm not sure why lying is acceptable--it's not like I don't know what's in there). But, clearly, I can't think about that now. But it does need to be resolved before long even if it's not distracting me from the nine to five.
Anyway. Leaving for work early today. Just because. Aiming for a day with not even a minor slipup...

Because books.
That's going to be quite a day, ita. Definitely try to leave the medical issues till later, though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good vibes to you, ita.
