Can I rip my face off? I'd really like to. 2 hours in, fake sudafed doesn't seem to be doing its job.

It's really, really dark out.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Between the rain, cramps, exhaustion, and not having heard yay or nay from landlady about rescheduling (neighbor lady reminded me that realtor was coming today at 4), I decided to just cave, take a personal day, tidy up the attic, and get this assessment over with.

Still need to email landlady and ask her to stop treating my neighbors like they're my on-site landlords and please speak to me directly, with actual correct information (no one showed yesterday).

This has been a wretched allergy season. One of the worst for our family. Grace is now on prednisone but poor little one is still drippy.

It was a dark and stormy morning (in DC) . . .

Poor Grace. I hope the trip gets her away from whatever vegetation is up her nose.

SCOTUS opinions in about 10 minutes. Will we get affirmative action (it's the oldest outstanding case)? Gene patents? Same sex marriage? How sad is my life that this is what passes for amusement?

Trust my rage

So Sparky's post led me to SCOTUSblog to see what was coming down today and while killing time, someone linked to an article about Justice Breyer showing up for jury duty. The story is from 2005 but still made me happy.

Our wings are not tired.

Congrats -t! Gainful employment is good stuff.

May the job prospects continue to accumulate, Suela.

I'm tired thinking about all that driving, Kat! I drive to NY and back, but I only have a dog to deal with.

How sad is my life that this is what passes for amusement?

Right there with you Sparky1! It is better than focusing on my life drama which is unusually extreme at the moment.
