I am making no purchases today.
I talked to my brother last night and he guilted me about my dad's failing health. Thanks, bro. I can't afford to go to Ohio this month because I'm currently choosing between paying for dental work or electricity. Not to mention $16,000 I owe UCLA for Grace's most recent surgery.
Blargh.
I'm not feeling christmassy at all. I'm feeling tired and teary instead.
Also, I am over the Google Doodles. They have them too frequently now and the charm has mostly worn off (Maria Callas today).
I bought some stuff on sale on Kindle: Kate Elliott and Ankaret Wells novels are pretty cheap.
Thus I have contributed to the economy.
Now I should go yank weeds from the yard.
SUCK IT SUCKERS! I'M OUTTA HERE!
Yeah, no.
I'm feeling tired and teary instead.
Me too! I know the one contributes to the other.
I'd better actually think about what to say!
"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
I hope ita is well.
One of my new coworkers had boundary issues. Every time I talk or laugh in my cubicle, she asks me what I am saying or what is so funny. Sometimes I am laughing at all y'all. Sometimes it's a bitter, hollow laugh. Or if I am talking to someone else, she wanders over to find out what's up. Not every conversation has to be a group conversation.
Also, she doesn't seem to get the work/not work boundaries. I am friends with people outside work, but it's not always discussed and dissected at work. And she doesn't seem to see the line. It's starting to grate.
It's starting to grate.
I vote that you move to The Netherlands.
I am here to report that shirred eggs (thank you again, Burrell) over Turkey Hash is pretty fucking yummy.
Trudy, you were in my dream last night. I was need a place to live in NYC and prices were CRAZY and then I thought that mac and I would take 2 rooms in your apartment (not even sure if there are 2 extra rooms in your apartment), but that was the plan in my dream. I was handwaving all the animals and people having enough space.
Ha! I actually DO have two bedrooms besides my own. And I'm sure all the pets would get along just fine.
Timelies all!
Heard a loud crash as I was getting out of the shower and saw Nova come tearing into the bedroom. Turns out someone knocked over one of the floor lamps in the computer room.(and broke the bulb) I don't even know....
Spent 90 minutes pulling weeds and pruning in the yard. Between that and the 4.5 mile run this morning (and yesterday's 20-mile bike ride), I'm wiped out. Can I just stop doing things for the rest of the day?
