Today has not been boring.
Why "may you live in interesting times" is curse.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I spent yesterday with my cousin's and her 10 month old baby, and today with my nearly 1 year old niece, so I have had lots of adorable baby time, and lots of driving back and forth to RI. In it's a good thing my niece is adorable news, her new way of telling you that she is done playing whatever game you're currently playing with her is to run her teeny tiny but very sharp nails down your face.
Teppy, feel better and please cut yourself some slack.
Jilli, I'm also having trouble actually just sitting down and writing the book I am working on. Tons of ideas in my head, but when I try to get them on the page I freeze.
I have just downloaded the pdf of the pomodoro method.

Bonny,your life has been way to crazy lately. I'm sorry, and I hope it calms down soon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Steph, I can concur that toradol is a painful IM. I hate most of them, but that one the most. You're way past duck nibbles at this point, lady. Easy does it.

Our wings are not tired.
It's above my knowledge base, I think. We'll see.
Better than no challenge at all. You don't know the thought behind sending this level of material. It may not be typical for the position at all. I know this is a particularly silly thing to say, but don't over think it. Do that thing you do and if the job is the right fit it will happen. Slacker, oh my no.
Jilli, I am giving you my stern look. You know what you need to be doing missy!
Here, well I am doing the work I left undone to run off to the hospital with SIL. It is past my bedtime and I am emotionally exhausted. But, it is all okay really. SIL is surrounded by lots of family and loved ones. DH and both my sons, her mom, husband, friends. Apparently her doctor is fine with as many people as she wants. She has tried for 12 years to get pregnant and we are all over the moon with joy. They induced her, but 'gently', they are saying delivery probably mid day tomorrow. Her blood pressure is much better than it has been the last week. So when the other people arrived I left to go home and do my work. I'm a morning person so I'll go back early - with my laptop so I can work while I wait.
Goodnight my dear ones.

You guys, it's beyond my knowledge base. Seriously. It is doctorate-level shit. I am out of my depth with this one. I'll still do the test, and give it my best, but I read it and just went O_o. Granted, my head is exploding, but...yeah. It's above my knowledge base, I think. We'll see.
What Burrell said: make the assessment after the migraine leaves you, because maybe your brain can't be trusted right now?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hey Steph, I am judging you RIGHT NOW because you are not slacking enough. Do you hear me? You better not do anything until that migraine is gone. ::sideeye::
bonny, I am flailing at the idiots you work with. And I am also so, so proud of you for standing up for yourself and drawing boundaries and not accepting blame for shit that is not your fault.
Jilli, seconding le n on using a timer. It saves my ass all the time. You can do this, girl!!
Laura, much easy-delivery~ma to your SiL. Blessings on her and your whole family.
I got some very good news today: a raise. A significant raise, from $15 to $18/hr. I have teared up with relief several times in the past few hours since I heard. I've got to be careful, of course, to use it wisely and not loosen the reins too much, but oh what joy that I may be able to afford a night out every week or so, to pay off my credit cards faster, and to start saving for retirement. I can't even tell you how good it feels that our hard work is being recognized and rewarded.

That's great, smonster!
Jilli, can you try writing just anything and then use the momentum to transition to the novel?

Smonster, that is excellent news!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Jilli, would you like a personalized "you should be writing" motivational photo? You see, I have this picture of Sammie doing her Puss-in-Boots best big round, hard to say no to, eyes that I think is excellent for the purpose, even if she is more marmalade than goth in color scheme.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
to not contact me unless someone with my blood type is bleeding
Oh, I am so using that one.
Steph, let the headache mellow out, and then just edit it. Do what you do!
If my headache isn't gone by tomorrow, I have to go to the doctor, because I promised my bff I would. I have taken every drug in the house and also put an ice pack behind my ear, and it's a little better but not much.
