Much love and support to everyone. I keep trying to say more eloquent things, but they don't express what I really feel, which is that I want to wrap you all up in blankets and keep you safe from upsets and annoyances.
Jilli speaks for me on this matter, as on so many others.
ltc bit me. About an inch over from where I burned myself. She was trying to put my shirt in her mouth because she's teething, but she missed.
I get it, Maria. You just want to do the fun-cute...making you less lonely things and now it's all tough.
Babies, they take so much work.
Yes. Even the kitten, who is overall sunny and amusing, sometimes makes me glad I didn't get pregnant.
Even though, as the holidays approach my sentimental side, vestigial as it is, does get more sad about that.
There's nothing more amusing then getting a full nights sleep, and beginning to retake migraine medication, and waking up with a persistent fucking headache that stays with you all day.
Spoiler for exasperated sarcasm.
The Sofa Saga is OVER. I am sitting on it RIGHT NOW, in its correct room, watching Buffy S4. (The guy had to basically take the whole thing apart and put it back together, but it feels pretty solid, and the bed opens and closes properly.)
The Car Saga is almost over - the appraiser from the insurance company came today and officially pronounced it a total loss, so all we have left to do is send them some paperwork to have it towed away and then we get a medium sized check. (They sell it for salvage and recoup whatever they can.)
The product I work on is in Japan, so I am familiar with the pain of the 7am meeting. And the 8pm meeting, for when we decide to flip it on them.
Note to self: Do not get pissed off about being on salary for the next month. It won't help. The fact that in three weeks you will have one staff member besides yourself to cover all day shifts (thank heaven for reasonably stable overnight staff) is just one of those wacky things. There are people at other houses willing to cross-train And they are hiring. Really. It's gonna be ok.
Do get pissed off about all the morning training sessions scheduled for days you will be working until 11pm, though. Seriously, not enough coffee.
