Doing laundry for vacation, and the dryer just died. This means I can go back to bed, right?
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Performance evaluation at work. I got to glance over it before signing it. Not sure when a copy gets back in my hands. Last year there were a few sporadic "Exceeds expectations". This year, I'd say close to 50% of the check boxes were "exceeds", the rest were "meeting expectations". Woot. Too bad it doesn't result in a merit raise.

Having cramps again, want a hug from Hubby. Trying not to cry where customers can hear. A billion hugs from all the wonderful people in world can't touch the hole inside. Fuck it.

It just sucks, Connie.

I'm sorry, Connie. I wish there was more I could do or say.
I'm at the Joe Hill signing ridiculously early, but I have a feeling that may be a good thing for this kind of thing. I've got a cappuccino and the book being signed and I'm going to grab a seat in the signing area soon and read. It is good to occasionally remind myself I can do things like this on my own.

I killed the thread good before I left. I'm home from the signing, which was so much fun! I was very anxious to be there alone, but I ended up meeting some very interesting people. Including a nice couple who plan on naming their baby to be River, after River Song.

It's been slow the past couple days.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Did you ask them about River Tam, sj? I'm glad you had a good time.

I did, I told them that they could get two fandoms in at once with River, Firefly and Doctor Who, and they smiled. The compromised on the middle name which the father wanted to be Song. I can't remember if they said they were going with Melody or Amy, something Doctor-ish. I wish I had been bold enough to get their contact info.

I'm going in to work an hour early tomorrow, bosslady is bringing a dietician to the house to meet with some of us staff to help us hone our healthy menu planning skills. I'm going to ask this one rather pointedly about corn's status as a vegetable. I keep preaching "corn is a grain" and getting "no, I swear my dietician told me it was a vegetable" as a response. Now, I'm not saying corn is horrible (except for those who cannot tolerate it) - I'm just saying it needs to be counted as a grain/starch when planning a balanced meal. I'm expecting the response from this dietician to be something along the lines of "people hear what they want to hear and remember what they want to remember, but the dietetics profession does not think corn is anything other than a grain."
