Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oy, sarameg, better you than me I think.

Wow. Reduced holiday stress~ma for most all Buffistas.

Most of my stress is work-related and of the "reward for a job well done is another job" variety. But I'm off from Friday through the end of the year, so the breathing room should help. I'll be heading up to my sister's on Sunday, and holiday airport madness aside, I'm looking forward to it. While I miss my parents, it's a lot easier to just spend a few hours in airports on each end then to drive from NC to MI and back, which was their preference.

I clearly got dressed in the dark/dim light this morning. Wearing the charcoal brown pants not the charcoal grey pants. With a black top and purple cardigan. Not too bad, but I didn't notice until I got to work that I grabbed the wrong pants.

My sinuses are playing at being a barometer. Uhg.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel amazing after a panicked flurry of online shopping last night. AND the snow that is going to fuck up my commute home is a great excuse to bail on plans I didn't want to have anyway!

Everything's coming up Jesse!

Classes are done at 12:35 today. Can I hold it together that long?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's pretty funny, sara. The pants, not the sinuses.

Woo, Jesse!

Get-through-the-morning~ma, Kat!

Hey, the outlet sale is over, I can go back to my regular parking spot today! Or maybe try for something in the closer lot even. Exciting!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yes, but even the equivalent kids' sizes are all sold out everywhere.

Scola do you want me to check the Dr. Martens store on Haight Street. Is she looking for a particular color or style?

I'm OK, but just got in a minor car accident. Skidded on some ice going downhill on a road that hadn't been plowed yet, and hit the car in front of me, which was stopped at a red light at the bottom of the hill. Everyone's OK, minor damage to the bumpers of the cars. Just called my insurance company (couldn't call from the scene, because my cell battery was dead, but the other driver called her insurance company and asked them what information we needed to exchange, and we exchanged all that), and my insurance company explained to me what my options are. Since my car is still OK to drive, and I'm going to be visiting my parents for a few weeks, I think I'll have it repaired at a shop near them, so that I can either use one of their cars or have one of them drive me if I want to go anywhere while my car is being repaired.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Very glad to hear you're ok, Hil!

(Oh, and don't mention this on my facebook page -- my mom is going to freak out if she hears it first in any way other than me calling her, and my cell battery is dead and I'm at work now, so I can't call her until I get home.)
