I'm getting implantable contact lenses.
Plastic! Plastic in new places!
I just had tiny steroid pill-things implanted in my bad eye. (They dissolved over a period of weeks.)

We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
One of the things I did today was to buy a lifetime Crowded House Fan Club membership. I am both proud and shamed by this fact.
There's no shame in that!
I'm trying to cope with this "be at the office five days in a row" thing.
I've already had a 5 day week of 8 - 12 hour days. When did January become a busy theatre month? I used to spend most of the month catching up on tv shows and not eating anything more expensive than PB&J.

lisah, that's so horrible about your co-worker's son. What a nightmare.
I like winter. This past weekend aside, I tend to feel sort of quiet and contemplative, which is often a good head space for me.
Right there with you, Calli. Winter is about hot soup and warm blankets and snuggling on the couch, and going for brisk chill walks that don't make you want to die like the same walk would do in July, and then coming home and warming up again. Winter is the time when I feel like I really appreciate my house, and the ways in which it shelters and comforts me. (I suppose it helps that we did a bunch of house stuff this weekend: hanging pictures, putting up shelves, organizing closets, etc. It's nice to do useful work that makes your home feel homier.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMFG, I finally got all my ducks in a row around the Great Clusterfuck of 2013 (god willing this is the biggest of the year), which included an email to literally 12 people in five departments (requiring responses), finally felt ready to call the outside party and confess all, and..... it was fine. Totally fine! They don't care at all.
I have spent DAYS on this. As has my boss. And five minutes later, everything is fine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh Jesse, that's great news and probably really frustrating! Not that you want the outside party to be angry but you kind of wish they'd be just mad enough to really appreciate your apology?

Isn't that funny? And yet, good on you for being over-prepared, because if you weren't, it might have turned the other way. So hard to tell.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Jesse, I know that is anti-climatic and super frustrating, but also better than people being really upset and wanting to hash things out with you, right?
I have no idea what is going on today, but I feel like crying and I want to go home and get in bed. wah.

So true!!
Glad it turned out to be no big deal. Sorry for all the heartburn.
