Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

bon bon! Wow! That is going all out for tax deductions.

amych, also congratulations!

I actually went to the gym after work, woo-hoo! And even worked out - I got myself to go by reasoning that going and sitting in the sauna still counted, but I did the circuit training thing. Tired now. This is supposed to lead to overall less tiredness, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats, amych!

I finally got called for jury duty -- at my old address! But I'm in the same county, so I'll have to do it. It will take me an hour and two buses to get there, but inconvenience is not a reason to request a change in location. Good fucking times.

Woot! Congrats Amych!

We are watching a friend's kid, since 8:30 AM, because she had to take her other kid on a college tour. Her ex was supposed to pick her kid up at 5:00 (notice the time) but then he texted at 1:00 to say he couldn't be here until 8:00 PM and then he called to say it looked more like 9:00 PM.

The worst is that she was driving her older kid up to a college near where he was staying (Bay Area) and she offered to drop the kid we are watching off with him but he said no. He wanted to come back home so he could drive back up to his family.

I don't even get it and I have some pretty snarky things I want to say, but my kids go to bed at 7:00 PM so I'm pissed about the two hour disruption of their bedtime on top of hating for kids to feel abandoned.

Also, K suggests around 8:30 we give the kid a red bull with an espresso chaser.

Sounds fair to me.

I'm very sneezy. Do not like. I'm hoping it is just cause the chlorine was high in the pool and it is dry, what with the snow.

I keep forgetting who is pregnant because now 3 people I know have done sneaky fb announcements (one is due end of the month) that took me a moment or six to process. So apologies if I assume/forget you're expecting....

Took cats out to play in the snow. An hour of indoor insanity followed.

Ah shit. This last sneezing fit makes me think cold, not just whatever. Maybe I didn't escape xmas travels unscathed.

I pulled the trigger on the butcher CSA. If I could only find someone to bring cream to my door I might never need to grocery shop again. Anyway, the place where I pick up my allotment turns out to be a brewery. With a tasting room. This'll be interesting.

Kat, you might want to wait on the Red Bull 'til the ex is pulling up in the driveway, just in case. Maybe a pixie stick or two.

Oh, also, I didn't realize until I was leaving the locker room that I was wearing my Joss Whedon is My Master T-shirt and carrying my 42 towel. I may not be as stealthy in my geekdom as I like to think.
