back at work. empty office. two gifts had been left on my desk, so YAY!
I just finished going through emails. I think if I don't futz around too much, I could actually get everything off my desk and all my actionable emails addressed. WHOOT!

I've gotten my email inbox down to the low 100s, with no unread items, so I'm calling it a good morning at work so far. And I'll be lunching with amyth and smonster, which is happy-making.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have dealt with maybe 150 emails, but have many more hundreds to deal with! Sad.

Instead, I think I might buy a lot of sale dresses from Lands End.

Buy some for me too, Jesse!

I tried some lands End dresses but they were weird on me. I kept the cost though.
didn't realize you could have Hep C and not know it. I know someone with Hep C and it was a real problem (until the current treatment regime was developed), so I thought it always caused symptoms.
No, it's often asymptomatic, but can still be doing damage to your liver while you don't realize it.

I got this one [link] last week (on slightly less sale?) and it's so good on me, I'm going to get at least one more!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Pretty! And such a good deal.
I've been screened for Hep C (and B and probably A) a few times, but I think I am more at risk than Lee. Negative for all the hepatitises so far, which is nice.
That xkcd makes me happy

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
But...I hope I'm not being too intrusive, or that I am going senile because you've addressed this before...have you guys had the, "Yeah, we think marriage is a thing we wanna do one day" talk?
We did, and it included Tim asking, "Isn't that something I'm supposed to surprise you with?" To which I reponded, "I think making sure we're on the same page is way more cool than a bad romantic comedy."
And after that discussion I pretty much let it drop, because my takeaway from that was that I maybe shouldn't be pushy about it. (I knew he was ridiculously fucking slow about everything when we got together. I knew what I was getting into.)
I admit, I would have liked a proposal. Very much. And a more weddingy wedding, and like, a ring and a honeymoon. But OTOH, D might have been sitting around with his thumb up his ass for another six months.
Yeah. See above, re: ridiculously fucking slow.
All that said...
Total honesty time, here: when we were on vacation this year (in June), one night towards the end of vacation, Tim and I went out on the big long pier by ourselves, at his suggestion, and I got this weird idea that he might propose, and IT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME. Not in an excited way; in an "Oh, no no no no NO please" way.
Which I didn't expect. So I guess Tim being slow about it is fine. Which is kind of hypocritical in the face of me being all upset that he didn't propose on Christmas because I made a wrong assumption based on hearing half a phone conversation. (Which is the part that feels like a Kate Hudson movie.)
