"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm glad you posted this over here because I typed up a big long thing over on fb, and then was all, wait, I think this is overshare for those fora.

ANYWAY. Yeah, I am horrrible about getting up in the mornings, and I'm pretty sure it's just because I'm a lazyass with no discipline who stays up too late and can't do basic math to figure out when she needs to start getting ready for bed to get eight hours of sleep on days she has to get up at five.

It's pretty much a miracle that I've gotten my ass up and out of bed and to work more or less on time (okay, admittedly with a little bit of speeding) for the two weeks the SO has been on tour.

I am much more looking forward to the next tour stint, during which I will be on spring break. I can either go with him or I can loll around at home but NOT HAVE TO WAKE MYSELF UP. I set four alarms this morning and made a specific upon-wakeup gameplan and yet, still managed an extra fifteen minutes of not getting up. Not sleeping, just not getting up.

So.

Yeah, I hope the sleep study reveals something helpful to you, but I think mine would reveal things I already know, like stop using my phone in bed.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Ginger, I hope it works out to merely slightly annoying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha HA! I've been working on this one document for weeks, with millions of rounds of feedback from hundreds of people at increasingly high levels of the organization. Finally it is done! There is one person I need sign-off from, but the one I was most worried about said "congratulations," so I am feeling good. Especially since I was planning to be at this conference we are having for most of the next two days, and then I am on vacation!

AND I bailed on a work-related event last night, and my officemate tells me this morning that I didn't actually miss much.

Everything's coming up Millhouse!!

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

Woo, Jesse!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And THEN I just read this harrowing, beautiful piece of writing by someone I know [link] and am a little shaken up by it, but STILL. The sun is shining and it is a good day.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Except it's ice and/or snow, not rain, that's coming again.
